   Let's start cooking with shortcrust pastry. For it, we need to grind 250 g of soft margarine with a spoon with 1 glass of sugar, add 4 yolks (put the whites in the refrigerator), 2 tablespoons of soured cream (can be replaced with kefir) and quench the soda with vinegar. Mix everything and add flour, the dough should be soft, but not too tight.

   Place the dough on the bottom of the springform pan, level it along the bottom with your hands and form small sides. Place in a preheated oven at 180° for 20 minutes and bake until half cooked. My pan was full, so I lined the pan with parchment and will bake in it.

   At this time, prepare the berries. Mine is a cherry, so I pit it with a pin and drain the excess juice through a sieve.

   
5. Step 5

   Then we start beating the whites. In a deep bowl, beat the whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Secrets for whipping egg whites are described in this recipe.
