Butter pie
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Children will happily take the pie with them to school, adults—to work. The pastry bakes up quickly and easily; the main thing is to let it cool before slicing. You can cut the pie into two layers and make a colorful cake from it—don’t limit your culinary imagination. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
