Curd pie with plums and nuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To prepare the curd dough we will need: cottage cheese (preferably lumpy, not wet

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix flour with sugar and baking powder.

3. STEP 3

   

   Divide the flour mixture into two equal parts. Add cottage cheese to the first part of the flour mixture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grind it with your hands until you get fine crumbs.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add cold butter cut into pieces into the second part of the flour mixture and grind everything into crumbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   Combine the two types of crumbs and mix gently, being careful not to crush the crumbs so that they do not form a lump. When mixing, I ended up with larger crumbs than I wanted. While the filling is being prepared, it is better to put the crumbs in the refrigerator.

7. STEP 7

   

   Filling. To prepare the filling we will need: plums (preferably firm, not soft)

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the plums, cut them in half and remove the pits.

9. STEP 9

   

   Chop the nuts with a knife. In the absence of others, I had pistachios, but you can use any. Walnuts and hazelnuts are combined with plums.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour the resulting crumbs into a greased and floured baking dish (Ø 26-28 cm). Smooth out.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place chopped nuts on the dough.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place plum halves on top.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sprinkle plums with 1 tbsp. l. sugar. Bake the pie for about 35 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cool the pie slightly, remove from the mold and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve the pie and cut into pieces. Bon appetit!
