Lean Lemon Raisin Pie

A wonderful recipe for lemon raisin pie, the dough for which is kneaded in vegetable oil and water. Such a pie without eggs, milk and butter is prepared quickly, simply and turns out to be surprisingly fragrant, loose, moist, moderately sweet and with a bright lemon flavor. Great idea for a lean or vegetarian menu. A piece of such a lean pie is just what you need for your morning cup of tea or coffee!

Ingredients

• Lemon (for zest and juice) - 1 pc. (1 tablespoon of zest and 50 ml of juice)
• Raisins - 50 g (to taste)
• Vegetable oil - 4 tbsp. spoons
• Sugar - 100 g
• Wheat flour - 150 g (1 glass of 250 ml)
• Water - 50 ml
• Ground turmeric - 1 tsp
• Soda - 1/2 tsp

Directions

1. We prepare products according to the list.
2. Rinse the raisins and pour boiling water for about 5-10 minutes.
3. We turn on the oven and set the temperature to 180 degrees.
4. We wash the lemon thoroughly. Remove the lemon zest with a fine grater, and squeeze the juice from the lemon pulp. I got about 1 tbsp. spoon of zest and 50 ml of juice.
5. Combine vegetable oil, juice and lemon zest in a deep bowl.
6. Sift the flour into a separate bowl. Add soda, sugar and turmeric. We mix.
7. Pour in the lemon-oil mixture. We mix.
8. Drain the water from the raisins, dry them with a paper napkin and send them into the dough. Mix thoroughly.
9. Let the dough stand for 5 minutes for the soda to react with lemon juice. Then mix the dough again.
10. Grease a baking dish (I have a heart-shaped shape of 19 cm) with vegetable oil. I have a silicone mold, so I didn't lubricate it with anything.
11. We bake the lean lemon raisin pie in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for about 20-25 minutes. We check the readiness with a wooden stick.
12. Lean Lemon Raisin Pie is ready. Cool it slightly in the form, cut into pieces and serve.
13. Bon Appetit!
