- Half a sachet of baking powder
- 3.5 - 4 cups of flour
For the Filling:

Instructions:
- Start by creaming together butter, vegetable oil, egg, and sugar. Add vinegar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually incorporate flour and baking powder into the mixture to form a dough. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough and fit it into a tart pan. Prepare the filling and add it to the crust. Design the top as desired (I used heart shapes for decoration).
- Bake at 180 degrees Celsius until golden.
