Grated cakes
Description
The grated dough recipe is simple, but you need to adjust the amount of flour. If the dough turned out too soft, add another couple of spoonfuls of flour and mix until the dough becomes pleasant and pliable. The filling must be thick. If there is syrup, like in cherry jam, place the filling in a sieve to remove excess liquid. It can be served with tea or coffee.
