5. Summary.
6. Very good baked goods!
7. Due to the low percentage of fat content of kefir, the dessert turned out to be moist and with an excellent texture. The lightest, extraordinarily aromatic, delicate and tasty.
8. If you want a more crumbly result but less moisture, use a high-fat fermented milk product.
9. Another plus for this recipe. There are no eggs in it !!! At first I was very surprised, but curiosity and desire to comprehend this touch in cooking, pushed me to action.
10. I must admit, this is very convenient. First of all, those who, for various reasons, cannot eat eggs: illness / fasting, and so on.
