Strawberry pie without butter Airy and fragrant

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   1. Prepare the strawberries. Rinse it under running water and blot it with a paper towel to remove moisture. Cut the berries in half or into quarters, depending on the size. We will also prepare the mold in advance and grease it with vegetable oil (this is the only oil that will be needed). I have a mold with a diameter of 21 cm.2. Let's prepare the dough. Place 2 eggs (large), sugar and a pinch of salt into a container. Beat everything with a mixer until fluffy. The mass will lighten and increase in size

2. STEP 2

   

   3. Add sour cream and any flavoring to the sugar-egg mass (I have strawberry liqueur, you can use vanilla extract or vanilla sugar) Mix again with a mixer until everything is combined.4. Prepare the dry dough mixture: add cornstarch and baking powder to the sifted flour. Starch gives baked goods a more crumbly structure and also absorbs excess moisture from the berries. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

3. STEP 3

   

   5. Send the dry mixture to the egg-sugar, sour cream mixture) Mix until smooth, first with a spatula so that the flour does not scatter throughout the kitchen, and then with a mixer. The dough is not liquid, but not thick either. It flows down from the rim like a ribbon.

4. STEP 4

   

   6. Place 1/3 of the dough into the mold, level it and place the prepared strawberries on top.7. Next, distribute the remaining dough, covering all the berries. Level the surface a little.

5. STEP 5

   

   8. If desired, place a few strawberries on top, sprinkle them with sugar and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180 degrees (check your oven). The pie will brown well and rise!

6. STEP 6

   

   9. Check the cake for doneness with a wooden skewer or toothpick; it should come out completely dry, without wet crumbs. Cool the pie.10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve! You can decorate it however you like! A tender, soft, airy and very aromatic pie! And most importantly, no oil! Bon appetit!
