Lemon‑ginger savarin
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. Making this delicate aromatic pastry is not difficult at all; you just need to observe a few nuances of mixing the yeasted sweet dough and let it rise well in a warm place. For decorating the savarin, it’s not necessary to make a glaze; you can drizzle the pastry with fruit jam or berry sauce. It can be served with tea or coffee.
