Put sugar, water, and lemon in a pot, bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes, and let cool.
In a mixing bowl, add all dough ingredients except flour and mix well.
Gradually add flour and knead into a soft dough, adjusting flour amount based on egg size if necessary.
Shape the dough into walnut-sized pieces and place on an ungreased baking tray.
Brush the pieces with a mixture of egg yolk and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
