Step 1
Our grandmothers used baking soda for cakes. I suggest replacing it with baking powder. You'll need the same amount, but take the teaspoon heaping. Let's begin.

Step 2
Mix the flour with sugar and baking powder. Cut the cold butter into cubes and rub it into the mixture with your hands until it resembles fine crumbs.

Step 3
Add two large eggs. Start kneading the dough. At first it may seem impossible, but don't worry—the dough will come together into a ball perfectly within 10–12 minutes of kneading.

Step 4
Divide the dough into two unequal parts. Place the smaller part into a bag and put it in the freezer for 40-50 minutes. After freezing, it will be easier to grate it on a grater.

Spread most of the dough onto a pan greased with margarine or any fat. Make small edges.

Step 6
Spread the jam. The amount of jam can range from one to two cups, depending on its consistency. It's best to use jam with pieces of fruit or berries.

Step 7
Take out the smaller portion from the freezer, grate it directly over the pie using a coarse grater, spreading it evenly over the surface. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 220 degrees for 30 minutes.
