   Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm sweetened water; once it foams, pour the yeast liquid into the well in the flour. Add the milk, sugar, egg and melted, cooled butter and knead the dough. Rest the dough in a warm place to rise. Into the risen dough add the raisins, nuts and orange zest and knead again. Roll out half a cm thick with a pin and cut pieces with biscuit cutters; arrange on a tray. Brush egg yolk over and sprinkle sugar. Bake in a 200°C oven until the biscuits turn pink.
