The recipe recommends: to make it easier to work with the dough, it should be kept in the refrigerator for some time. We divide the chilled dough into small pieces and put them into the cells of the hazel pan. Each cell must be filled in two-thirds, because when the pan is covered with a special lid with bulges, the dough will be squeezed out of the cell. Squeezed out excess dough must be removed with a knife and put the pan on fire. When the baking is completed, the nuts must be carefully removed with a knife from the pan and cooled. The halves of a nut, a shell turned out. They need to be filled with sweet filling and put in whole nuts.
