Blackcurrant pie with butter and sour cream

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for baking a sweet shortbread cake with black currant. In summer, ripe fresh currants are suitable for such a pie, and in winter you can use frozen berries. Let's start cooking the pie with the preparation of the dough. In a deep bowl, put the softened butter, add sour cream, sugar and salt. We drive in a chicken egg.

2. Step 2:

   

   Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour the sifted wheat flour, combined and mixed with baking powder, into a bowl with a liquid mixture. Knead the dough. The dough should be soft and elastic.

4. Step 4:

   

   It is impossible to knead the shortbread dough for a long time, the main thing is to assemble the dough into a ball. We wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. In the meantime, we will make a filling for a blackcurrant pie.

5. Step 5:

   

   Black currant berries are thoroughly washed, twigs, leaves and debris are removed. We throw the berries into a colander, let the water drain completely.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour water into a saucepan or saucepan, put sugar. We put it on fire, bring it to a boil, stirring constantly so that the sugar completely dissolves. Cook the syrup over medium heat for about 5 minutes. We lower the currant into the syrup, carefully, so as not to get burned. Boil the berries in syrup for about 10 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour starch diluted in cold water (2 tablespoons) into the hot berry mixture and mix quickly so that the mass becomes homogeneous and thick. Keep on fire for a couple more minutes, turn off the fire. The filling is ready, let it cool down a little.

9. Step 8:

   

   Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Divide the dough into two parts, one larger than the other. We roll out most of it into a thin round layer and put it in a greased baking dish. The edges of the dough should go on the walls of the mold, creating small sides.

10. Step 9:

    

    Spread the blackcurrant filling on the dough.

11. Step 10:

    

    We close the pie on top with a lattice of dough remnants, along the edge you can make a pigtail of dough. If desired, you can simply roll out a round cake from the remaining dough and cover the pie with it. The pie is smeared with beaten chicken egg on top and sent to a preheated 180 degree oven for 30 minutes. The pie is ready, we serve it to the table with tea, coffee or cocoa. Enjoy your meal!
