Lenten galette with berries
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. You can make perfect and tasty pastries even on fasting days, for example — a fasting galette with berries: blackcurrant and raspberry. To keep the filling from turning watery, add starch and bake the galette at moderate heat, no more than 220 degrees. Serve it warm at the table with tea or coffee. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
