Pie with viburnum without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   The taste of the pie, of course, depends on the filling. Therefore, it is better to use viburnum from your own plot, collected after the first frost, when the bitterness leaves the berry and it becomes sweet. We wash the berries well, remove the twigs and leaves, put them in a fireproof container with high sides, fill them with water so that it covers the berries by a couple of centimeters and put them in the oven for 1.5 hours. Boil the berries at a temperature of 100 degrees.

2. STEP 2

   

   The viburnum should have the consistency of jam. Meanwhile, prepare the shortcrust pastry. Pour sifted flour, sugar, soda, slaked with vinegar into a bowl. Mix. Add butter cut into pieces, softened at room temperature. Grind the dough into crumbs.

3. STEP 3

   

   And then pour in ice-cold clean water and quickly knead the elastic dough with your hands. You don’t need to knead it for a long time, otherwise it will become hard, which is unacceptable for this pie. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Take the finished dough out of the refrigerator, divide it into two parts, one larger for the bottom of the pie, the other smaller for the top. Roll out most of the dough into an even round layer about 0.5 centimeters thick. Place the dough in a greased and floured pan.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a special knife, we make a mesh from the second layer of dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   We put the prepared viburnum on the dough; after processing in the oven, it became like jam. After heat treatment, it must be allowed to cool. The viburnum will become soft and sweet and sour in taste. The berry seeds can be removed from the jam. Sprinkle the filling with sugar on top.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the filling with a second layer of dough, carefully pinching the edges of the pie. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes. Take out the pie when it turns golden brown. Let it cool a little and serve for tea. Enjoy your tea!

Viburnum pie is new to me. Intrigued, I'll try it. I usually make regular jam from viburnum. It makes a healthy and tasty dessert for tea.

What an interesting recipe! I went and picked viburnum. I decided to make a pie with viburnum without yeast. I made the shortbread dough according to the description in the recipe, but instead of baking soda I used baking powder, after reading the comments) My viburnum berries are elastic and dense, so I boiled them on the stove with sugar until smooth. I tried really hard to make stripes for the pie, like in the photo, but it turned out mediocre. Imagine my surprise when I took the pie out of the oven and the filling was orange! I was counting on bright red) I read on the Internet that when combined with sugar, viburnum changes color))) For the first time I prepared something with viburnum. To be honest, the taste is not for everyone. My mother liked the pie with viburnum and so did my neighbor, who picked the berries from her. I didn’t really like the taste of the viburnum filling, but the dough was awesome) Overall, the recipe is wonderful! Thank you very much for the experience gained!

I would like to know for what purpose you add slaked soda to the dough? As you know, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is added to the dough as a leavening agent, which releases carbon dioxide during heat treatment. If sodium bicarbonate is combined with acetic acid, you get sodium acetate, which is not a baking powder! You are offering something that you yourself do not understand!

The viburnum has been in the oven for the 5th hour, and the jam is still far away.... are you sure it’s at 100 degrees? Spoiled mood and food, as there is no desire to do anything anymore
