Pie
Description
Perfectly suitable for tea and coffee. The pie didn’t get its name for nothing; the number of ingredients is minimal, and the composition is the simplest. Any beginner cook can make the “Poor Student” pie, and the whole process won’t take much time. You can use any jam, but if it contains whole berries or fruits, it’s better to pre‑chop it to a homogeneous consistency using a blender.
