-Separe the red part of the eggs from the white parts
-Work the butter with a fork to make it tender,then add the sugar.
-Add the red parts of the eggs.
-Add slowly the flour (slow adding make mixing more easy)
-Make the "foam" with the white parts of the eggs (adding a small (very small!) amout of salt will make the foam grow faster) and add it to the mix.
