Open pies
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Even a young and inexperienced housewife can make such pastries. You can use your favorite yeast dough, and choose the filling to your taste. I recommend making small pastries, as it will be easier to transfer the pieces onto the baking sheet. Come on in, we will be making boat‑shaped pastries. They can be served with tea or coffee.
