Method

1. Start the dough... whisk the egg with the sugar, vanilla, mahleb, milk, and soft butter

3. Add the rose water and orange blossom water, form the dough, wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for only 15 minutes
4. Divide into two portions... between sheets of plastic wrap roll out the first portion after dusting with a little flour and place it in a tart pan or nonstick pan about 25 cm in diameter greased with a little butter
5. Spread the filling evenly over it
6. Roll out the second portion between plastic the same way, peel off the top sheet, lay the dough over the pan, trim and smooth the edges, and make shallow surface slits with a knife without cutting through; you will cut them later in the same places
