Cottage Cheese Pie with Mandarins
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. The idea of making this curd pie with tangerines came up last January, when no one wanted to look at fresh tangerines anymore, but they still needed to be used up somehow. In the end, after digging through cookbooks and using my imagination, I came up with a curd pie with tangerines that is very simple and quick to prepare, yet turned out very tasty. With a cup of tea and a post-holiday mood — just the thing... :) Good luck with the cooking. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
