This recipe is so detailed, especially for young housewives, young wives who have never worked with yeast dough before, but decided to please their young husbands and loved ones with delicious aromatic pastries for the holidays. This amount of ingredients is enough for 16-20 Easter cakes with a diameter of 7-8 cm and a height of 8-10 cm, but in the photo are very tiny Easter cakes, which I baked this year specifically so that they do not need to be cut at all and can be given to children whole. But if you have very good yeast, you can get more. Good luck! Be sure to cook Easter cakes in a good mood!
