Crumbly pie with cottage cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for making a crumbly cottage cheese pie. Put the butter in advance so that it becomes soft. Turn on the oven to warm up to 180 degrees.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a baking dish 13* 20 and 5 centimeters high, cover it with baking paper. To do this, cut a rectangle larger than the shape. Place the form in the middle of the paper and circle the bottom with a pencil. Cut the corners diagonally to the edges of the circled shape.

3. Step 3:

   

   Remove the mold and fold the edges in pairs along the intended bottom. First in length, then in width.

4. Step 4:

   

   Grease the mold with vegetable oil so that the paper does not fidget. Enclose the paper form, lift and trim the edges.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put soft butter in a bowl and add sugar. Whisk everything at high speed until fluffy.

6. Step 6:

   

   Combine flour with baking powder and mix. Sift it into a bowl with whipped butter.

7. Step 7:

   

   Using a mixer, at the lowest speed, mix everything to a fine crumb. Don't try to do it manually. From the heat of the hands, the butter begins to melt and instead of small crumbs, lumps will turn out, and this is no longer the structure for such a pie. If the fine crumbs do not work, add a little flour to the desired structure.

8. Step 8:

   

   Wash the eggs under a stream of warm water and dry them. In a deep bowl, put the cottage cheese, sugar and break the eggs. Instead of cottage cheese, you can use cottage cheese mass, then the filling will turn out even more tender. Or pre-punch the cottage cheese with a blender to a paste-like mass or wipe through a sieve.

10. Step 9:

    

    Whisk everything until smooth. The color of the curd mass depends on the yolks. I have homemade eggs, so it turned out to be a beautiful yellow color.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour 2/3 of the flour crumbs into the mold and flatten without compacting.

12. Step 11:

    

    Pour the curd-egg mixture on top.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cover the top of the curd mass with the remaining flour crumbs in an even layer.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put the cake pan in a hot oven and bake for 25-35 minutes. The top should turn golden, and the surface of the cake should become dense and not shake when touched.

15. Step 14:

    

    Remove the pie from the oven and cool completely in the mold. Then pull the ends of the mold and take out the pie. Remove the paper and place the pie on a platter.

16. Step 15:

    

    Cut and serve with milk, tea or coffee.

17. Step 16:

    

    Bon appetit.
