Jam Pie
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. To make the dough “rise to the surface,” it must be kneaded very thoroughly before being placed in cold water. The time it takes for the dough to be ready depends on this. When choosing jam for the filling, prefer a thick one with a pronounced sweetness. This pastry does not like haste, so bake the pie when you have enough time. You can serve it with tea or coffee.
