Royal Cottage Cheese Pie

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a royal cottage cheese pie? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take frozen butter. I used wheat flour of the highest grade, it is best suited for making sweet and rich pastries.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift flour through a sieve into a convenient wide container, add sugar, salt, baking powder, mix. Please note that you may take more or less flour than I do. Therefore, focus on the consistency of the dough.

3. Step 3:

   

   Quickly rub the frozen butter on a coarse grater so that it does not have time to get very warm from your hands.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add a mixture of dry ingredients to the grated oil.

5. Step 5:

   

   Grind everything until you get sand crumbs. It should be quite crumbly. Important: you need to do this very quickly so that the oil does not melt from the heat of your hands. If the shortbread dough is kneaded for a long time, the butter melts, and the dough becomes tightened and firm, then the crumbs will be hard after baking. After quickly grinding the dough, put the mold with sand crumbs in the refrigerator.

6. Step 6:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the pie. Cottage cheese can be taken of any fat content. The higher the fat content, the more tender the filling will be. It is convenient to use pasty, smooth cottage cheese. If the cottage cheese is grainy, grind it in a blender.

7. Step 7:

   

   If the volume of the blender does not allow you to grind all the cottage cheese at once, pour most of it first. Add eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and whisk.

9. Step 8:

   

   The amount of content will decrease. Add the rest of the cottage cheese.

10. Step 9:

    

    Grind everything to a homogeneous creamy consistency. Thanks to this, the filling will be very tender.

11. Step 10:

    

    Grease the bottom and sides of the baking dish with vegetable oil. I used a detachable mold with a diameter of 22 cm, the bottom of which was covered with parchment. Put half of the cooled sand crumbs into the mold. Press it with your hands, evenly distributing it along the bottom of the mold, at the same time form the sides along the edges. The sand crumb is well molded.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the curd filling on the sand base, smooth it out.

13. Step 12:

    

    Pour the remaining sand crumbs on top so that it evenly and completely covers the cottage cheese filling. Gently smooth the surface of the pie.

14. Step 13:

    

    Bake the pie in a preheated 180C oven for about 40 minutes until the top is ruddy. The baking time may not coincide with the specified one, as it depends on the specifics of the oven.

15. Step 14:

    

    Cool the finished cake, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!
