Citrus Pie
Description
You can prepare this citrus pie for a family tea time or even for unexpected guests. Tender, fragrant, with a slightly moist texture, it will surely delight everyone! Citrus zest is a real treasure trove of vitamins, and besides the zest, the juice can also be used in baking. This pie makes an excellent addition to any meal throughout the year, especially in winter! By the way, if you add a little cardamom and cinnamon to the dough, it will acquire a slightly oriental flavor. Be sure to try it! Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
