Ankovsky Pie
Description
Homemade baking for tea. The pie is easy to make, although at first glance you wouldn't think so. After baking the crust should be well cooled. Don't be alarmed if it is slightly moist; that's typical for the pie. It's important to stir the filling continuously, because the eggs coagulate and the protein separates. Do not neglect this procedure. And be sure to let the finished pie soak, then your work will be rewarded accordingly. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
