Viburnum pie made with shortcrust pastry
Description
Shortcrust pastry is extraordinarily popular among cooks. A huge number of baked recipes using this dough have become truly popular and in demand. And of course, among them are pies with fruit or berries. I suggest a recipe for a pie with a well-known, but forgotten by many in cooking, berry—viburnum. Yet our grandmothers, and our mothers too, have long used viburnum in baking, alongside traditional berries. The preparation method will delight you with its simplicity, and getting viburnum nowadays is actually very easy. A little time, and both guests and family will appreciate this delicious tea pie. The baking is ready. Serve to the table.
