Grated pie with shortbread jam

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the grated jam pie.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the softened butter in a bowl (if there is no time to wait for the butter to soften at room temperature, it can be melted a little in the microwave), add sugar and beat in the chicken eggs. It is better to add eggs one at a time, beating the mass with a mixer each time.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the ingredients with a mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add a pinch of salt and baking powder, mix.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour in the sifted wheat flour and knead the elastic smooth dough. We roll it into a ball. It is not necessary to knead the shortbread dough for a long time, otherwise the pie will turn out solid from it.

6. Step 6:

   

   Divide the dough into two parts, one of which will make up the third part of the whole bun, remove the small piece wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for 15 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Roll out the remaining dough into a rectangular or round layer with a margin at the edges (according to the shape of the pie) with a thickness of about 0.5 centimeters. The form is lubricated with butter. We put the dough into the mold, making small borders.

9. Step 8:

   

   Spread the jam on the dough, distributing it evenly in a thin layer. Jam can be used any to taste and availability, the main thing is that it is thick and does not leak to the bottom of the mold when baking a pie. In addition, the bottom layer of the cake may remain moist from the liquid jam. Instead of jam, you can use any jam.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the remaining dough from the freezer and grate it into a bowl. Sprinkle the filling evenly with sand crumbs on top so that the jam does not shine through. The oven is heated to 180 degrees. We send the pie to the oven for 25 minutes. It should be slightly browned on top.

11. Step 10:

    

    We take the pie out of the oven, put it in a dish, let it cool down. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top and cut into portions.

12. Step 11:

    

    We serve the pie to the table with tea, coffee or milk. Have a nice tea party!
