Filling Instructions:

Boil overheated cream with milk. Rinse raisins and put them in a small bowl, adding some rum. Put ground walnuts in a big bowl, mix in the overheated cream/milk mixture, and add more milk. Add 3 tbsp of sugar, lemon peels and butter. Mix again. Spread butter all over a deep baking tray. Make snow from the egg whites and mix them in. Spread the mixture onto the rolled out dough, add rum soaked raisins on top. Roll the dough with the filling. Put in a backing tray, cover with a whisked egg on top and bake on 220°C for an hour.
