2kg farinha - 10 gemas de ovo - 400 ml água - 200g banha de porco - 200 ml de azeite- 2 kg carne de porco - 600 g de toucinho - sal qb  

Fazer um monte de farinha em forma de vulcão, juntar água morna, a banha derretida, azeite e sal. Mexer muito bem, juntar as gemas e amassar. Deixar repousar durante 30 minutos. Forrar uma forma de massa, cortar as carnes em pedaços e colocar dentro da forma. Cobrir e pincelar com azeite. Leve ao forno a 200º, por 30 minutos.
