Lenten cookies with juice
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Apple juice is well suited for making lean dough. The juice is sweet‑and‑tart and aromatic; it will neutralize the baking soda and give the pastry flavor. The amount of sugar can be reduced if desired. Raisins, dried apricots, your favorite nuts and seeds can be used as fillings, giving the pastry a special taste. Experiment. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
