Pastila
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The pastille is quite simple to make. It doesn't need to be baked or fried—just left to set. Sometimes this takes 3-4 hours, but for extra assurance, you can leave it overnight. The pastille can be any color, depending on the color of the syrup you add to the mixture. Good luck! The ready dessert can be served.
