Carrot and yogurt pie is a delicate treat infused with the spirit of traditional British cuisine. Its history dates back to times when carrots were used as a natural sweetener in baking due to sugar shortages. In this recipe, carrots add juiciness to the pie while yogurt provides softness and a slight tanginess. Raisins and seeds enhance the flavor with a light nutty note and pleasant texture. This pie is perfect for cozy tea time, adorning the table with its golden hues and rich aroma. It can be served with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee and complemented with soft cream or honey. Light, airy, and healthy, it will appeal to lovers of natural and balanced desserts.
