    Kitchen Tips & Tricks
    • Separate the sheets and set them aside to dry for half an hour. This way they are easier to break, and do not produce hard masses in the yeast mixture.
    • Use 2 forks to better integrate the broken sheets in the cream.
    • Choose sweet oranges. Otherwise the pie will have a sour taste and you may have to add more sugar.
