Pie
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. A very popular sweet treat in Greece and Turkey. The bake turns out nicely sweet, juicy, and melts in your mouth. If you want to bake something new from ingredients you have on hand, this recipe is just what you need! These days “Revani” comes in many variations. Today I’ll share a simple, accessible version that I consider one of the best “Revani” recipes. Finger-licking good—give it a try. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
