Step 1
Dissolve 7 g of dry yeast in 1.5 cups of warm milk. Add 500 g of flour and stir. Cover and place the mixture in a warm place.

When the volume of the mixture increases, add 7 egg yolks mixed with 1 cup of sugar. Then add 360 g of softened butter, add 6 beaten egg whites, and 900 g of flour. Knead the dough. Cover and place in a warm place. The dough should be smooth.
Step 3
Remove the pits from the dates, cut them into 4 pieces, and drizzle with the juice of two lemons; let them soak.
