Step 1
1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, place the yolks into the bowl of a mixer, add orange zest, powdered sugar, and beat until frothy. Pour in melted butter at room temperature and mix well. Gradually sift in the flour in portions. In a separate saucepan, combine milk with vanilla and warm it slightly, without boiling, then slowly pour it into the bowl in a thin stream. You will get a liquid mixture.
