Quince Pie with Kefir
Description
The pastry is easy and quick to make. A fluffy and airy kefir cake pairs perfectly with caramelized quince. The pastry will bake through well even on the inside; the main thing is not to bake it at a high temperature! To help the batter rise during baking, do not arrange too dense a layer of sliced quince. It can be served with tea or coffee.

Thoroughly wash the quince in water using the rough side of a sponge, rinsing off the fuzzy layer. Cut it into four parts and remove the seed cores. Slice the quince into a saucepan or cauldron and immediately drizzle with lemon juice so the slices do not darken. Add half a cup of sugar.
