Lemon pie made with puff pastry
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. To make a quick lemon pie with puff pastry, you only need three main ingredients: puff pastry, sugar, and lemons. Oh, and a little starch to prevent the filling from spreading too much. Half an hour later, you can brew a fresh cup of tea and enjoy a crispy pie with a bright lemon flavor. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
