Method

1

Whisk together all the dry ingredients. Toss in the cold, cubed butter.

2

Rub the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sour cream and egg.

3

Knead the dough until smooth, then chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

4

Pass the chilled dough through a meat grinder (or grate it on a box grater), spread it out on a baking sheet, and bake for 15-18 minutes at 200°C (400°F).

5

Let it cool completely, then break it up into bite-sized pieces.

6

Gently heat the condensed milk, butter, and honey together, stirring until completely smooth.

7

Combine the sauce with the crumbled shortbread pieces.

8

Shape into hill-like mounds and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to set.

9

Garnish the finished cakes with a drizzle of melted chocolate or poppy seeds if desired.
