Tarragon Pie
8 servings
60 minutes
Tarragon is a herb with a lively character and summer aroma. As a filling for pies, it is a very good choice: tarragon adds zest to the taste and preserves the color, because long baking in dough usually does not contribute to freshness and brightness. Such a "green" pie is very tasty to eat at the beginning of lunch, with suluguni, no matter which - smoked, regular or in the form of thin flatbreads.
1
Prepare the dough. Whisk 2 eggs into a foam, add matsoni, baking powder, salt, 50 grams of melted butter and mix. Continue kneading the dough while gradually adding flour. The dough should be soft, smooth and pliable. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
