baking powder and stir well with a spoon.
Dice the butter. Add the chopped butter to the flour; quickly grind the butter and flour, making crumbs.
Separate the whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to the
flour mixture. Quickly knead the dough, divide the finished dough into pieces
of different sizes: 1/3 and 2/3. Cover with wrap film, leave in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Take the bigger part of the dough and place it on a piece of baking paper. Roll out into a 22 cm circle. Cut off the excess dough with a cooking ring or with the side part of the split mold.
