Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients for the cake. Kuh is baked from shortbread dough. The butter should be soft. To do this, the butter must be removed from the refrigerator in advance, it does not need to be melted, otherwise the dough will turn out hard and dry after baking. It is enough to leave the oil at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 2:
In a deep bowl, put the softened butter cut into cubes. Pour sugar into a bowl with butter. Rub the sugar and butter into a crumb. A little sugar with butter and a couple of tablespoons of flour should be immediately set aside for the preparation of streusel.
Step 3:
Drive chicken eggs one at a time into a bowl with sand crumbs, mixing the mass with a mixer each time. Mix the mass until it becomes homogeneous in consistency.
Step 4:
Pour in the sifted flour, combined with baking powder. Knead the dough, it should turn out smooth, obedient and elastic.
Step 5:
To get the desired result, you can add a couple of tablespoons of flour to make the dough denser, or, conversely, ice water to the dough for smoothness.
Step 6:
Roll out the dough into a thin cake, no more than 0.3 cm thick according to the size of the mold in which the pie will be baked. We transfer the dough to the mold and send it to cool in the refrigerator in the form for 30 minutes.
Step 7:
Meanwhile, you can prepare a streusel by rubbing a piece of butter with sugar and flour, until you get a fine crumb. In Germany, when baking a cook, some housewives do not add sugar when preparing streusel, but sprinkle it on the pie immediately after taking it out of the oven. Streusel is also cooled in the refrigerator.
Step 8:
We take out the dough, lubricate it with thick jam so that the jam does not flow during baking. Sprinkle streusel on top.
Step 9:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake the pie for about 20 minutes. Let the pie cool down and serve with tea. Have a nice tea party!
