Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a simple and quick pie with cottage cheese in the oven? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. The butter should be at room temperature, so remove it from the refrigerator in advance. You need large, choice eggs. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces. You can replace vanilla sugar with a pinch of vanillin or 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring.

2. STEP 2

   

   If necessary, rub the cottage cheese through a sieve or punch it with a blender. There should be no lumps or hard grains left in the cottage cheese. The fattier and softer the cottage cheese, the tastier the pie will be. Cottage cheese in briquettes is also suitable.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, combine soft butter at room temperature, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Beat everything with a mixer until fluffy for 2-3 minutes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add cottage cheese and beat everything together for another 1-2 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add eggs. Beat everything until fluffy and sugar dissolves.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour 100 g of flour sifted with baking powder into the dough and mix the dough with a spatula.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sift in the remaining flour and stir again until smooth. You will get a soft semi-thick dough. Please note that you may need more or less flour depending on the moisture content of the cottage cheese and the size of the eggs. Therefore, focus on the consistency of the dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Line a baking pan with parchment and grease with vegetable oil. Place the dough into it and smooth it out. I have a mold measuring 15 by 22 cm. If the mold is round, then a diameter of 22 cm is suitable. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 170°C for 45-50 minutes. Do not open the door while baking, otherwise the cake will fall.

9. STEP 9

   

   While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting.

10. STEP 10

    

    In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and water. Mix everything until you obtain a liquid consistency.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the finished pie from the pan and cool slightly. Drizzle with icing sugar and serve. Bon appetit!

I needed to bake a pie for tea quickly and without any hassles, but one that would also be delicious) The ideal option turned out to be a simple and quick pie with cottage cheese in the oven. I generally love cottage cheese baking, and in combination with lemon glaze it’s absolutely gorgeous! I kneaded the dough with an immersion blender, it whipped the butter and crushed the curd lumps. The dough turned out airy, tender, like cream. By the way, I didn’t have enough 50 g of cottage cheese and replaced it with homemade thick yogurt. The pie was baked in a round pan with a diameter of 21 cm. It was well baked, the middle was slightly higher than the edges. The pie is simply magnificent! It is so tender and juicy! At the same time, it is lush, porous, and does not crumble. Cutting it into portions is a pleasure. A very tasty pie, the combination of cottage cheese and lemon in it is just perfect. I recommend everyone to use this recipe, you won’t regret it)
