7.7 oz 7.7 of Butter (225g)
12 oz 12 of Blackcurrant jam (350g)

Directions
- Take the eggs at room temperature and put them in a bowl. Add sugar, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt and beat for several minutes until the eggs with sugar are smooth and bright.

- Sift the flour into the liquid mass and knead a soft dough that should not stick to your hands (you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe, it depends on the quality of the flour)
- Form the dough into a ball and put in the freezer for 1-2 hours so that the dough freezes well.
- Take the dough out of the freezer and divide it into two parts 1\3 and 2\3. Most of the dough is needed to form the bottom and sides, a smaller part of the dough for the top on top of the filling.
- Cover the mold with parchment. Rub most of the dough on a coarse grater and make the bottom and sides. Lay out the filling (you can use any jam of your choice).
- Rub a small portion of the dough on a coarse grater and put on top of the filling. Bake the cake in the oven at 180 ° C for about 35-40 minutes.
- Cut the finished cake into small cookies! If desired, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar!
Notes
