Add flour, salt and lemon zest in a large bowl, add the milk mixture and knead for approx. 2 minutes until a smooth dough is formed. Chill for 15 minutes. Use the time to line two baking trays with baking paper. Once ready, roll out the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Spread the butter flakes on one half of the rectangle and then fold the other half over it.
Roll out the sheet of dough again fold one third of the dough towards the middle onto the third in the middle fold over the other third from the other side and chill the rectangle for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the dough rectangle again and spread the filling on one half of the dough sheet. Fold the uncoated half of the dough over it press the edges together a little cut the sheet of dough into approx. 15 strips cut a slit in the middle of each strip of dough (be careful not to cut the strips all the way through) pull one end through the slit onto the prepared baking sheet and bake the nut loops on the baking trays for 12-14 minutes (200 ° C) until golden.
