Quick pie with jam
Description
To make a quick jam pie, you can use any jam you like: orange, peach, or apple jam works very well too. You'll also need two eggs—one whole egg for the dough, and the yolk from the second egg to brush the pie (you can use the leftover egg white to make a light whipped cream). Dust the finished pie with powdered sugar. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
