  5. In the meantime, prepare the filling. To do this, mix 250 g of mascarpone, 60 g of sugar, 1.5 tsp corn starch, the yolk and zest of one medium lemon. You can replace mascarpone with custard, well-mashed fat cottage cheese or ricotta. The result is a fairly thick mass, which will then be very convenient to work with.

  6. We take the dough out of the refrigerator, divide it in half. One part is sent back to the refrigerator, and the second is rolled out in a layer about 3 mm thick.

  7. Then we cut out the future liver-circles with a diameter of approximately 7-8 cm. From this amount of dough, I got 36 such circles. Accordingly-18 livers, because for each liver you need 2 such circles.

  8. In order to collect the liver, put about 1 tsp of the filling on one circle, and then cover it with the second circle, gently press it along the edge with your fingers. So that the filling does not leak out, and the livers keep their shape, we pass along the edge with a fork.

  10. My oven works in the "bottom-top" mode without convection and the livers were baked for 17 minutes. Be sure to focus on your oven. Ready-made livers are not very browned, so do not overdo them in the oven.
