Tips:

Prepare the ingredients in advance: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and prepped. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help keep your dough flaky. If you're using unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to the dough.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then stop.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the Mazurek until it is golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your Mazurek, so keep an eye on it and adjust the time as needed.
