Nostalgic Nevsky Pie: A Tender, Childhood Delight

A magic pie, tender and juicy, from distant childhood memories. Many people associate Nevsky pie with childhood memories because this pie was sold in culinary shops. Delicious, tender with a pleasant cream and impregnation — now it is also relevant, like a delicious breakfast, a cake for the holiday, it can also be prepared for Easter. Prepared from yeast dough, always soaked in syrup and butter cream. It is better to sprinkle powdered sugar on top. The pie can be made large, in the form of a cake; I prefer small buns.
