60 minutes

Mannik with mandarins is a tender, airy pie that combines the cozy texture of semolina and the refreshing citrus aroma of mandarins. This dessert is a true embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in European cuisine. Mannik has a long history as semolina has been used in baking since ancient times, giving the dough extraordinary softness. Baked mandarins add a caramel sweet-sour note to the pie, while red currants provide a light tanginess. This pie is perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea and can be served warm or chilled. Its simplicity makes it accessible even for novice cooks, while its rich flavor delights every bite.
