Sandy pastry for 22 kopecks
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. These pastries are perfect for a celebration or simply enjoying with tea among family and friends. The dough should be kneaded quickly, as it doesn't like handling and can become tough. You can top these pastries not only with jam and crumbs but also with sugar glaze. Use thick jam, either store-bought or homemade. Serve with tea or coffee.
