Here's a recipe for a simple and delicious pie that can be made in forty minutes. This is ideal for a family dinner, delicious tea or social gatherings. The pie is soft, aromatic and tender. The ingredients are simple and affordable. Lemons are used for flavoring, but you can experiment with other fruits or berries.
It is necessary
- - 200 g margarine;
- - 3 glasses of flour;
- - 2 cups granulated sugar;
- - ½ teaspoon of baking soda;
- - 1 egg;
- - ½ glass of milk;
- - 2 lemons.
Instructions
Step 1
We put the oven to heat up to 180 degrees. Meanwhile, knead the dough. For the dough, you just need to mix all the ingredients, but we will do this in several stages.
Step 2
Mix margarine with sugar. It is advisable to remove the margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that by this time it becomes soft. Put 200 g of margarine in a bowl, add 2 cups of sugar and mix thoroughly, rubbing with a spoon until smooth. The mass should turn white. In a separate glass, mix, without beating, the egg and milk. Pour into margarine mass and mix everything until smooth.
Step 3
We grate lemons or pass them through a meat grinder. Combine with margarine mass and mix gently. You should get a uniform mass. In this case, the lemons in it will be slices, and the margarine will be as the base.
Step 4
Sift three glasses of flour through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Add baking soda and mix thoroughly. You will get a uniform mass.
Step 5
While stirring the lemon mass, gradually pour the flour and soda into it. We make sure that no lumps appear. We knead the dough. Usually it turns out not very thick - it is thanks to this that the cake comes out soft and airy.
Step 6
Grease a baking dish with butter, sprinkle with semolina or breadcrumbs. Put the dough in a mold and put it in a preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. Do not overexpose. The cake should brown and take on a creamy yellow hue, slightly brownish around the edges. The finished cake can be sprinkled with icing sugar and garnished with pieces of fruit.
