- Mix eggs and sugar: In a bowl, beat 3 whole eggs with the icing sugar until well combined.

- Incorporate cold butter: Work in the cold butter with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2: Resting the Dough
- Refrigerate part of the dough: Put 1/3 of the dough in the refrigerator.
- Roll out the dough: Roll out the remaining dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper to form the base.
Step 3: Filling Preparation
