Instruction:

To make it easier to peel the chestnuts from the shell, pour them with boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Cut them and fry them in butter, add lemon juice, vanilla, turmeric, saffron, a little water, and honey. To give the chestnut an interesting taste (because in itself it is bland), rub the orange zest into this mixture. We leave the orange itself – we will need it in the dough.

In a bowl with flour, add baking powder, salt, water, and soy sour cream. Knead the soft dough, pour in the orange juice, and add marjoram and cinnamon to taste. Mix the dough with the chestnut mixture and start baking. In a greased rectangular shape with vegetable oil, spread the dough evenly. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes at a temperature of 356F.

When serving, you can decorate with mint and powdered sugar. Bon Appetit!
