- butter - 200 g;
- eggs - 2 pcs.;
- flour - 4-5 glasses;
- sugar - 2 tablespoons;
- salt - 1 tsp;

Useful Tips
Begin your dough by beating eggs and sugar. Only after the formation of a lush foam, add all other products. Thanks to this, the cake will turn out to be very airy and light.
If you put a larger amount of butter in the proposed recipe, the dough of the finished cake will taste like puff. In this case, the butter can be replaced with the same amount of margarine.
Add 4 eggs to the dough instead of 2. As a result, the consistency of the dough will change, and the taste of the cake will be similar to yeast baked goods.
If, while preparing the dough according to the recipe written above, you take 3-4 glasses of flour, it will turn out to be more liquid. This type of dough is an excellent basis for charlotte.
