Yesterday I made this wonderful pie again. This pie always turns out very tasty and tender, so this time I increased the amount of cottage cheese to 500 grams, flour and sugar to 200 grams, and took 4 eggs. The pie turned out tall and beautiful, with a very juicy curd center, thanks to good homemade cottage cheese. Our family REALLY loves this pie. Maria, thanks again for the recipe.
