Preparation
Mix the flour, sugar, shortening and baking soda in a large bowl,
then form a well in the centre of it. Add the milk to the mixture a
little at a time while mixing until you have a firm dough, Knead
until smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest for 1/2 an hour.
Preheat oven to 390F. Divide into 6 portions. Take a portion of the
dough and roll out in a circle to a between 1/8 and 1/4" thick,
about a foot in diameter. Place a hard-boiled egg in the centre of
the rolled out dough folding it over itself in such a way that the
egg remains in the centre of the dough. Do the same with the rest of
the dough (all 6 eggs). Grease a baking sheet. Form a circle with
the dough-enveloped eggs so that they are touching each other. Shape
the edges. Bake for 15 minutes in the centre of the oven or until
the bread is golden brown. Remove from the oven and turn onto a wire
rack to cool. Frosting: Beat 2 egg whites till they form peaks. Add
the sugar, a little at a time continuously beating the egg whites
till mixture is creamy. Add the lemon juice. With a pastry brush
spread the egg and sugar muxture onto the cooled bread. Decorate
with coloured sugar sprinkles if you wish.
