• 100 g Unsalted butter (Melt in the microwave)
• 150 g White sugar
• 3 pcs Eggs (Crack into a small bowl to avoid shells)
• 200 g All-purpose flour (Sift before incorporating)

   Crack each egg into a small bowl, then add it to the butter‑sugar mixture, whisking between each addition to avoid shells.

   Time: PT3M
