Pie with cottage cheese and banana shortbread

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a shortbread cake with cottage cheese and banana? Measure out the necessary ingredients for the dough. Butter should be cold.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix flour with baking powder and sift. The flour will be enriched with oxygen, and the dough will rise better when baking. And in the finished cake it will be tender and crumbly. Add sugar and salt to the sifted flour, mix.

3. Step 3:

   

   In a mixture of dry ingredients, grate butter on a coarse grater.

4. Step 4:

   

   Quickly rub everything with your hands until you get crumbly crumbs. It is important that the butter does not have time to melt from the heat of the hands, otherwise the shortbread dough after baking will turn out to be protracted and much less crumbly.

5. Step 5:

   

   In a small bowl, beat the egg until smooth.

6. Step 6:

   

   Add the beaten egg to the butter crumbs, mix.

7. Step 7:

   

   Quickly knead the shortbread dough, place it in a bag or wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes.

8. Step 8:

   

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Bananas are better to take ripe, sweet, so that the pie turns out to be more fragrant and delicious. Cottage cheese is suitable for any fat content, soft. The softer the cottage cheese, the more tender the filling will be.

9. Step 9:

   

   Wash the bananas, peel and slice them arbitrarily. Put bananas, cottage cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla sugar and sour cream in a blender bowl. Add the amount of sugar to taste. I added a little. The sweetness of the filling depends on the ripeness of the fruit.

11. Step 10:

    

    Grind everything in a blender until smooth and smooth.

12. Step 11:

    

    Take out the cooled dough. I left some dough to decorate the cake on top. The rest of the dough was rolled out between two layers of food film into a round layer. Its size should be larger than the diameter of the mold.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment, brush the walls lightly with vegetable oil. I have a mold diameter of 20 cm. Put the dough into a mold, form the sides of the pie. Put the curd filling on the dough, smooth it out.

14. Step 13:

    

    If the sides are slightly higher, lower them to the level of the filling.

15. Step 14:

    

    I rolled out the left dough and cut out small circles with a mold.

16. Step 15:

    

    Put the dough circles on the sides of the pie around the circumference. On the filling, if desired, you can make wavy patterns with a spoon, but this is not necessary.

17. Step 16:

    

    Bake the pie in a preheated 190C oven for about 35 minutes. The surface of the cake should be slightly browned. The cooking time may be different. In each case, it is individual and depends on the specifics of the oven. Remove the finished cake from the mold and cool completely.

18. Step 17:

    

    Cut the pie into portions and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
