Make a dough from flour, yeast, sugar, milk, butter, salt, lemon juice and zest, and the eggs and let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour. Stir the dough well and roll out to about 1 cm thick. Press round shapes onto half of the dough sheet and place a dollop of jam into each circle. Brush the edges of the circles with beaten egg yolk, cover with the other half of the dough and cut out balls according to the raised edges.
