1 tbsp. l. white sugar,
1 tbsp. l. butter,
1 tbsp. l. brown sugar,
1 cinnamon stick (can substitute powder),
zest and juice of half a lime (or lemon).
1. Measure out 4 tbsp. l. water and remove it in the freezer. We need ice water. Then start the test, mix the flour, powdered sugar and salt.

One circle are larger in diameter for a few centimeters close to the second patty, same as the diameter of the molds. I'm rolling out each circle separately, pinching off the right amount of dough, so it turned out easier and neater.

13. We spread the stuffing in it.
14. The circle is less tightly sealed top pie.
