It is better to buy margarine for baking, such as "Hostess", before cooking it must be slightly softened by removing it from the refrigerator.

3) Add vanilla essence or vanilla powder to the mass, break eggs into a bowl.
4) Beat the dough with a mixer, then pour the sifted flour mixed with baking powder in small portions. Knead first with a spoon, then with your hands, until you get an elastic dough that does not stick to your fingers.
5) Divide the dough into two unequal parts, put the smaller one in a bag, place in the freezer for 20 minutes. It should freeze, so it will be easier to rub the pieces to decorate the shortcrust pastry with jam.
6) Roll out the rest of the dough, place on a greased baking sheet or in a round shape, shape the sides with your fingers.
7) Put out any jam or thick, wait, jam. If the consistency of the filling is liquid, you can mix it with potato, corn starch in the proportion - 1 teaspoon per 100 ml of jam. When baked, the starch will thicken, preventing the filling from flowing into the baking sheet.

It takes about 25-30 minutes to bake grated pie with thick jam in the oven, setting the temperature to 180 degrees. The sides and top should brown and the dough should be a little crumbly. The sweet dessert can be served slightly cooled down, cut into portions.
