Shortbread pie with curd and banana filling

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. Grind the oil with 50 gr. Sahara. At this stage, it is not necessary that the sugar is completely dissolved.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift wheat flour into the mixture. Add baking powder. Knead the dough.

3. STEP 3

   

   This is what the shortcrust pastry should look like in the end. The consistency is dense and does not stick to your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wrap the dough ball in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours. If you use a baking dish with a diameter of no more than 20 cm, you can wrap the dough in a regular plastic bag. This will help a lot in the future.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat the eggs into a separate bowl (or blender) and add the remaining granulated sugar.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add all the cottage cheese and semolina.

7. STEP 7

   

   Beat the resulting mixture with a mixer (or blender).

8. STEP 8

   

   Cut the bananas into large slices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add bananas to curd mixture. Stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Remove the dough from the refrigerator. And roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 3 mm. I rolled it out directly in the bag. So my rolling pin stayed clean.

11. STEP 11

    

    Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Distribute the dough into the mold with a margin of 4 cm on the side. I cut the bag along the seams along the length and it was convenient for me to distribute the dough into the mold.

12. STEP 12

    

    Prick the dough with a fork.

13. STEP 13

    

    And pour out the filling. Flatten the bananas. Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 200 degrees until done, about 20-30 minutes (the dough should brown and turn golden). Time and temperature are approximate, refer to your oven.

Such an interesting recipe, simple and delicious. I'll definitely cook it. I'll try it with apples, but the apples should probably not be very hard

Finally cooked it, for the filling I took two bananas and one apple. The slight sourness of the apple successfully complemented the slightly cloying sweetness of the banana. The pie was very successful. Simple and tasty, next time I’ll add a lot of raisins and walnuts to the cottage cheese instead of fruit. It seems to me that with such a filling it will also be very tasty. Many thanks to the author for the recipe for such a universal pie.
