• The easiest way to remove the zest is to use an ordinary fine grater. Just rub the fruit to the white layer on all sides.
• Lemon zest can be prepared for future use. For this, the peeled skin is dried or frozen.
• In any cake recipe, instead of lemon, you can use an orange, grapefruit or other citrus. And the usual pastries will acquire a new taste.
• To decorate a lemon cake, you can use citrus slices or flowers made from dried peel. To do this, a thin skin is cleaned in a spiral, like potatoes. And also fold.
