Pie with cottage cheese and condensed milk
Description
The pastry comes together easily and quickly. Note that dough made with vegetable oil doesn’t need to be chilled—you should divide and bake it as soon as possible instead. Add lime or lemon zest to the filling; it gives the pie extra flavor. Serve warm or chilled. Especially nice with tea.
