a hour.

Ingredients:

2.5 glasses of wheat flour
150 g. of butter(or margarine but butter take delicious effect ;) )
2 hen's eggs
4 table-spoon of sugar

Lets go, shake-shake.
1. Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt,into basin and made pastry. Add eggs. Add butter cut in pieces. Use mixer to make your pastry homogeneous and knead it by hands a little. Put the pastry ball in plastic pouch and place it in fridge for a half an hour.

2. A half an hour has elapsed...
Roll out your pastry ball. The result flat is nearly 3mm thick and cut out big hearts.

3. Put hearts on griddle and place into oven (preset it's temperature in range 180-190 C ) for ten minutes, meanwhile preparing the same number of hearts cutting out their center by less heart form - borders for our hearts.

6. Place borders into oven for 10 minutes.
