This is an ordinary tea cake that you can easily make on any weekday when you want something sweet and original. The pie has no special pretensions, but it has a special lemon flavor.

Ingredients

For the pastry

Butter - 200 gr.
Flour - 400 gr.
Milk - 150 ml.
Egg - 1 egg.
Dry yeast - 1 tsp.
Sugar - 2 tbsp.
Salt - a pinch.
Vanilla sugar - 10 gr.

For the filling

Lemon - 2 pcs.
Sugar - 350 gr.
Mann grits - 1 tbsp.

Preparing

Warm the milk slightly (about 30-35C).


Pour the yeast and sugar into it. Stir and leave for about 15-20 minutes until a puffy cap is formed (when the yeast wakes up).


While the yeast is waking up, sift the flour together with salt and vanilla sugar. There, in addition to the flour, grate cold butter on a coarse grater. Rub lightly with hands.


Separately lightly beat the egg.


Add the egg to the buttercrumb, and then yeast diluted in milk.


Knead the dough soft, not sticky to your hands and the table. (this takes about 7-10 minutes).


Transfer dough to a bowl, cover with a napkin and place in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.


In 10 minutes, when you need to take the dough out, start making the filling. It is important to prepare the filling just before assembling the pie, so that the lemons do not let the excess juice out.


Rinse lemons under cold running water and scald them with boiling water. Dry, without peeling cut into slices and remove all pips. Pass the lemons through a meat grinder or food processor.


Add sugar and semolina to the lemons and mix.


Divide the dough into two equal parts.


One of the parts again divide in half. The result should be three pieces of dough – one larger and two slightly smaller.


Assemble the cake.


Grease the baking dish with butter.


Take most of the dough and roll out a little more than the diameter of the baking tin along with the rims (the dough should hang out of the tin). Put the dough into the mold.


Spread half of our filling on the dough.


Roll out the second half of the dough and cover our filling with it.


Place the rest of the filling on top.


Take the remaining piece of dough, roll it out and cover the pie with it.


Pinch the edges of the pie and prick the top with a fork in several places.


Brush the top of the pie with butter or egg. And put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180C.


Take out, let cool completely and enjoy.

Enjoy your tea time!
