Directions

1. 1
   Sift flour into bowl, and mix in baking powder.
2. 2
   Add butter, egg yolk, sugar, cognac, and lemon peel; and knead to make a fairly soft dough.
3. 3
   Separate into 2 parts.
4. 4
   Roll one out into a fairly thick crust; place in a square pan.
5. 5
   Break off a piece of dough from the remaining half and roll between your palms into a coil to fit around the crust.
6. 6
   Wet the edge of the crust with a little water and gently press the coil around the edges, so it adheres to the crust, and against the sides of the pan; shape with the fingers to form the side crust.
7. 7
   Spread the marmalade over the bottom crust.
8. 8
   Shape additional coils, each about as thick as your little finger, from the rest of the dough, and lay them on the marmalade in a crisscross latticework pattern.
9. 9
   Join to the crust with a little water.
10. 10
    Bake in preheated 300 F oven for 30 to 40 min.
