Pie
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. The pie can be made with any jam, preserves, or even berry or fruit puree that you have on hand. I immediately put the ready dough in the freezer rather than the refrigerator; this helps save time in the kitchen. If you haven’t tried “Karakuм” yet, I definitely recommend it. It can be served with tea or coffee.
