Beat the eggs with sugar. Let the butter or margarine soften a bit and add it to the mixture in pieces. Mix the mass well with a spoon (you can also beat it with a mixer). Add a small pinch of salt. Introduce flour into the mixture, sifting it through a sieve (optional). Stir the dough. Sprinkle flour on top and place it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
