Simple pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. If guests have already arrived, you can quickly prepare this cake. This attractive pastry is especially loved by children and is great for a home tea party. Tips: if the top of the cake has browned enough but the inside is not fully baked, cover it with foil and continue baking until done; do not open the oven during baking to prevent the dough from collapsing; after removing the cake from the oven, let it cool completely so that it remains beautiful on the outside and fully baked inside. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
