Two different shortbread pies

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Carefully separate the whites from the yolks, put them in the refrigerator.

2. Step 2:

   

   Grind the yolks with sugar, add salt.

3. Step 3:

   

   Softened margarine to grind with sifted flour, which is introduced gradually throughout the kneading.It is not necessary to pour out all at once.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add sour cream, pour in cognac.

5. Step 5:

   

   Extinguish soda with vinegar

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour in the yolk mixture

7. Step 7:

   

   Knead the uncool dough until elastic. Put it in the refrigerator for now

8. Step 8:

   

   Mix the curd mass with sour cream. You can use cottage cheese of any fat content instead of the mass, adding sugar to taste. I have here a curd mass with dried apricots and a little ordinary cottage cheese, so as not to be cloying. You can enter the yolk for the color. In the recipe, the amount of cottage cheese is taken approximately: someone likes a lot of filling, someone does not. So focus on your taste.

9. Step 9:

   

   Roll out the dough, put it on a greased baking sheet, making the sides.

10. Step 10:

    

    Lay out the curd filling. Bake in a preheated oven over medium heat until half cooked, when the edges of the dough are browned.

12. Step 11:

    

    Chop nuts

13. Step 12:

    

    Beat the cooled proteins with a pinch of salt with a mixer, add sugar.

14. Step 13:

    

    Remove the pie from the oven, cover with nuts and whipped whites. Put back in the oven and bake until the protein mixture turns golden. You can turn on the upper grill, slightly.

15. Step 14:

    

    Remove the pie from the oven, let cool.

16. Step 15:

    

    Cut into pieces.

17. Step 16:

    

    Put the rest of the dough into the mold, forming the sides. Cover with berry filling. If the filling is too thin, add starch.

18. Step 17:

    

    Pour out the nuts. Bake until half-cooked.

19. Step 18:

    

    Grease with protein mixture, bake until ready.

20. Step 19:

    

    Remove the finished pie from the oven. The second form I have is slightly smaller in size than the first, so the layer of shortbread dough turned out to be thicker.

21. Step 20:

    

    Cut cold so that the berry filling does not spread.
