Sorrel pie sweet

With the arrival of heat, a lot of greenery appears, including useful sorrel. Probably, everyone has tried dishes from this slightly sour fresh herb at least once. But the dessert from it is no less delicious!

Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance - it should be of a soft consistency.

Turn on the oven at 200 degrees.

Put the soft butter in a bowl and rub with sugar until smooth. Add egg, sour cream and beat everything well with a whisk.

Sift the flour in a separate container and mix with baking soda.

Adding a little flour, knead the elastic dough. If necessary, add flour when kneading - the dough should turn out soft and not stick to your hands.

Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it with cling film and put it in the refrigerator for about half an hour.

Wash fresh sorrel leaves. Cut the stems and damaged leaves, cut into medium pieces.

Pour boiling water over the chopped sorrel and immediately throw it into a colander to drain all the water.
Put the slightly dried one into a bowl, add sugar, vanilla and mix well.

Take a fireproof container of a suitable shape, grease it with a piece of butter and sprinkle with flour.

Put the rested dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts - large and small. Roll out most of it according to the shape of the container where the pie will be baked, slightly going beyond its edges. Put a sheet of dough on the bottom of the pie container and straighten the sides of the dough along the edge.

To prevent the filling from seeping through the dough and the pie from becoming too wet, sprinkle the bottom of the laid dough with potato starch.

Put the sorrel filling in a baking container, distribute it evenly.

Roll out the remaining small part of the dough into a square sheet and use a pizza knife or a regular one to cut the dough into even narrow strips.

Lay the sliced strips on top of the sorrel filling crosswise. Mold the edges of the pie together.

Put the baking container in the preheated oven and bake for half an hour or until the top of the pie is browned.

Take the finished pie out of the oven, let it cool down a little, put it in a nice dish and cut into pieces. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the pie.

Bon appetit!
