The most delicious thing about this pie is the contrast between the soft, runny, slightly sour filling and the baked crust. It has a homey coziness and a sweet old-fashionedness. Even exact proportions are not really necessary - everything can be done by eye, and instead of frozen or fresh currants, use homemade five-minute jam.

A slightly dressed-up version of charlotte. And one of the most successful examples of lean dough - it is fluffy, light and easily absorbs the filling. It is also important that it is much easier and faster to bake a jellied pie than any other: such dough does not require either rest or proofing. Eggs are also not required, and vegetable oil copes with the role of fat. For an even more festive look, in addition to almond petals and coarsely chopped pear, you can also mix dried apricots minced through a meat grinder into the dough - then the pie will have a pleasant red color and a subtle aroma of apricot.

The main thing in this recipe is skillfully prepared cabbage. If you manage to make it bright and moderately juicy, consider it ready. If you don't have the energy to deal with the dough, feel free to use store-bought: both lean and regular. Experiments with puff pastry are also not prohibited - cabbage gets along well with it.

Another nostalgic thing. In school cafeterias and local bakeries, poppy seed rolls in sticky chocolate glaze were inexpensive and sold out instantly. But they were rarely baked at home — poppy seeds were in short supply. Now, buying poppy seeds is not a problem, but I don't want to bake them. The recipe is simple, although it requires an approach: poppy seeds, in order to turn them from individual grains into a monolithic filling, need to be soaked overnight in two, or better yet, three waters — pour boiling water over them, drain and soak again. And lean dough is tasty only if it is fresh — it quickly dries out and hardens. Therefore, you won't be able to bake rolls for a week in advance and eat them carelessly: before you start baking, calculate exactly how many pieces you will eat at once, how many you will leave for the evening, and how many will survive until the morning.

The recipe is taken from the social media group "Lenten Meal". The filling uses both lemon and orange, which gives a voluminous taste, a pleasant sourness, and an amazing aroma. There is one danger with the dough: it can easily become gummy and not bake under the moist filling. Therefore, if you do not want to clog the citrus juiciness with starch or flour, it is better to first put the cake in the oven separately, letting it bake, and then put the filling and return the pie to the oven so that the orange -lemon puree turns into something like thick marmalade.
