What to cook for Shrovetide, except pancakes? Recipe for fish pilaf and lazy charlotte

It won’t be long before Pancake Day begins – a holiday celebrated during the week before Lent. Traditionally, this event is associated with pancakes, but, of course, you can diversify your menu with other dishes. I suggest cooking a lazy charlotte and fish pilaf.

Lazy charlotte

• sour cream – 1.5 tablespoons;

3. samm.

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into small slices.

Grease the pie mold with butter. You can grease a silicone mold too, so that the edges do not turn out dry and get a golden color.

Mix the sliced apples with the dough and transfer to the baking mold. Then put in a preheated oven to 180 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.

Then lower the temperature to 170 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes. You can check the readiness of the pie with a wooden skewer. If it remains dry, the pie is ready.
