Ingredients:

• 70 g powdered sugar
• 1 yolk

The pie recipe

Transfer the flour to the mixer bowl, add spices, butter and powdered sugar, then mix until you get a smooth crumble. Then add the yolk and continue kneading until the ingredients merge into a dough ball. Wrap them in food wrap and put them in the fridge for about 45 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the filling. Cut cherries into smaller pieces, then mix them with sugar and potato flour. Divide the chilled dough into two parts. Roll out 2/3 of the dough and place the bottom and sides of the mold to the 23 cm diameter saw. Prick the dough with a fork, cover it with a piece of baking paper, and place dry beans or rice on it will prevent the dough from getting bulging during baking. Insert the tart into the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15 minutes. After this time, remove rice and paper, and bake the dough for 3-4 minutes. Then spread the baked bottom with raw protein, put fruit filling on it. Roll out the remaining 1/3 of shortbread and cut out with a heart mold. Arrange them ornaments on top of the tart, apply protein and sprinkle with brown sugar. Then put the tart back in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until it has a golden color.
