Description
Kalitsounia, scalzone, skultuna (Kalitzounia) is a traditional Cretan Easter cakes. Can be of different shapes and with different fillings, both sweet and salty. My version scalzone dessert with lots of nuts and thin layer of dough. If a small amount of butter in the dough to replace the plant, the pies can be called vegetable cakes. Suggest to eat them immediately after baking while they are still hot, they're very tasty, although cold they are very good!
