Pie with sorrel and cottage cheese on margarine

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake sorrel pie with sorrel in the oven? Prepare all ingredients. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste. The filling can only be made from sorrel, but cottage cheese perfectly complements and softens the sorrel sourness, so it’s better with it. The dough is kneaded without eggs, which makes it especially soft and tender. You will need cold, even ice-cold water, so keep it in the refrigerator first. Use cream of any fat content.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the margarine in a water bath or in the microwave, but not completely. Add sugar to the margarine and stir until it dissolves.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sifted wheat flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the finished cake will be more tender.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grind the margarine with the liquid ingredients into crumbs with your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   Make a well in the mixture, pour cold water into it and quickly gather the crumbs into a ball of dough. It should be dense, elastic and slightly flaky. With this method of kneading, the dough is slightly different from classic shortbread; after baking it looks like a puff pastry. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is resting, prepare the pie filling. Wash the sorrel leaves well and cut into small pieces with a knife.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grind the cottage cheese with sugar and cream. There is no need to beat it into a paste. The filling tastes better when the cottage cheese remains in grains.

8. STEP 8

   

   Prepare the dough into two unequal parts. Roll out a larger piece of dough into a round layer. Place this layer of dough into a greased pan, making sides.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place sorrel and curd filling on top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll out the second piece of dough into a round layer and cover the filling with it, pinching the edges. Prick the dough on top with a fork to allow steam to escape from the inside. Cover the pie dish with foil so that the sorrel filling is well baked, and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on the features of your oven.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the pie from the oven, let it cool slightly and serve. Enjoy your tea!

Recently I noticed a recipe for sorrel pie with sorrel. I found it very unusual to use sorrel as a filling for a sweet pie. I decided that when I grow sorrel at the dacha, I will definitely make such a pie. And then I saw sorrel in a grocery store, and thought that there was no point in postponing preparation. I needed two glasses of flour (high grade) for the dough and another 50 grams. The dough turned out very tender and soft. Instead of cream, I put two tablespoons of sour cream (20 percent) into the filling. I used a cast iron baking dish with a diameter of 26 cm. I baked the cake for 20 minutes under foil, 15 minutes without it and another 5 minutes on the highest level of the oven. My pie was slightly browned, but I think that if I had kept it in the oven for another 10 minutes, it would have acquired a ruddy color. The pie turned out to have a very unusual taste. Sour sorrel and sweet cottage cheese. And I really liked this combination. The pie does not fall apart when cut, but at the same time it is soft and tender. Thank you very much for the recipe!
