Grated cookies with jam

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make grated cookies? Prepare the products. Butter should be softened, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Transfer the butter to a bowl, add sugar and beat with a mixer until smooth.

2. Step 2:

   

   Add eggs and salt to the resulting mass. Continue whipping further. Pour a glass of flour. Mix everything together.

3. Step 3:

   

   Extinguish the soda with lemon juice and pour into the dough.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour in the rest of the flour and knead the dough. Focus not on the volume of flour, but on the density of the dough, because flour can go more or less than the grams indicated in the composition each time. As a result, the dough should not be sticky, viscous, malleable, not fluid. And most importantly - it should roll out well and keep its shape.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wrap 1/3 of the dough in foil and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Roll out the rest of the dough on the table into a layer 1 cm thick. You should get a rectangle of about 20 by 30 cm. To prevent the dough from sticking to the surface, use a special mat or immediately an oiled sheet of parchment.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cut the edges of the rolled cake exactly. Transfer to parchment, if you haven't done it before. Then onto a baking sheet.

9. Step 8:

   

   Spread jam on the dough. I have this black currant. It goes very well with such a test. You can take plum, apricot, seedless. If your jam is too thin, you can pre-mix it with semolina, flour or boil it with starch. I didn't do it.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove a third of the dough from the freezer and grate it.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the grated dough on top of the jam. Place the baking sheet in a preheated 180 degree oven for 25 minutes. Be guided by the features of your oven - you may take more or less time than me.

12. Step 11:

    

    Remove the finished pie from the oven. I immediately cut it into squares of cookies while it was hot. Bon appetit!
