Corn-nut pie is a refined treat from the rich traditions of Yugoslav cuisine. This pie, infused with the aroma of almonds and citrus freshness of lemon zest, combines the tenderness of butter with the crunchy texture of corn flour. The flavor unfolds multifacetedly: the sweetness of sugar is accented by a hint of brandy's spice, while the nutty taste adds depth. This dessert is perfect for cozy family tea times or festive gatherings. When serving, it can be dusted with powdered sugar for elegance. Thanks to natural ingredients and the absence of complex processes, the pie is not only delicious but also easy to make. It’s a classic that harmoniously blends tradition and sophistication.
