Prepare these products. Butter acquire good quality, fat content at least 72%. There can be any variety, but apple or quince is preferable - its sour taste emphasizes the sweetness of shortbread.

Transfer the butter to a deep container, melt in a water bath or in a microwave oven almost to a boil.

Pour into a deep bowl and cool a little, then drive a chicken egg there, pour in granulated sugar, a pinch of salt. Thoroughly beat the entire contents of the container, trying not to splash everything around.

Sift wheat flour into a bowl, knead tight, plastic shortbread dough.

If you have free time, then wrap a ball of dough in cling film and take it out into the cold for about 20-30 minutes. If there is no time, then immediately start rolling and baking.

Lay parchment paper on the working surface, lay sand dough on it and roll it into a rectangular layer 1 cm thick - it does not have to be even, since the edges after baking will be cut off and go to crumb.

Bake a layer of dough in the oven at 200 C for about 12-15 minutes, without browning much. Cool down.

Cut the edges, turning the baked dough into a rectangle or square.

Cut into strips of 10 * 5 cm. From this volume of products, you will get 4 strips and trimmings for crumbs - put the trimmings in a deep container and grind with your hands or in the bowl of a food processor.

Lubricate two strips with cooked povidl, applying a dense layer of it.

Place the remaining two strips on top.

Once again grease with a sight, run along the edge of the cake with a knife, removing the excess sight. Sprinkle crushed crumbs on top. Garnish the dessert to your liking and serve with tea or coffee.
