Sugar-Free Medovik
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to make. A very easy Honey Cake (Medovik) that even a beginner home cook can handle. We bake the layer as one sheet, then cut it into portions. The dough itself is made without added sugar or wheat flour. I replaced sugar with honey and used corn and rice flour. For the cream I used soft ricotta cheese, which can be substituted with soft cottage cheese or thick Greek yogurt. If you, like me, are looking for healthy and delicious recipes, I recommend bookmarking this one. It can be served with tea or coffee.
