Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a pie with shortcrust pastry with jellied sour cream and cherries? Prepare the products according to the list. Instead of cherries, you can take cherries or any berries of your choice. Choose high-quality butter. It must be taken out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft (about two hours). The cherries must be pitted. The amount of sugar can be adjusted depending on your tastes and the acidity/sweetness of the selected berries.

Step 2

Step 2
How to make shortbread dough? Take a large bowl and sift premium wheat flour into it through a fine sieve, then add a pinch of salt, sugar and baking powder.

Step 3

Step 3
Finely grate the lemon zest (yellow peel only, avoiding the white pulp, which can taste bitter) and add to the bowl with the wheat flour. Then add softened butter and grind all the ingredients together.

Step 4

Step 4
Break one chicken egg into a common bowl and mix all the ingredients well again.

Step 5

Step 5
Continue to collect and sort of glue the shortcrust pastry in the bowl with your hands. Please note that shortbread dough should not be kneaded for too long, otherwise the product will turn out “oaky”. Once the dough has come together, place it in a plastic bag and refrigerate for thirty minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
After time has passed, take a suitable baking dish and place the dough in it, which you then spread in an even layer and form the sides, then prick the dough with a fork.

Step 7

Step 7
Cover the dough in the form with parchment and sprinkle peas or beans on top so that the dough does not rise during baking and place the form in an oven preheated to 220 degrees to bake the shortbread for 10-15 minutes. Time and temperature are approximate, use your oven as a guide.

Step 8

Step 8
After time has passed, remove the pan with shortbread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then place fresh pitted cherries in it and distribute the berries in an even layer.

Step 9

Step 9
To prepare the filling: place the sour cream in a deep bowl, break the egg, add sugar, vanilla sugar, starch and mix all the ingredients very well until the sour cream mass is homogeneous. It is not necessary to beat, the main thing is to achieve homogeneity.

Step 10

Step 10
Pour the sour cream filling over the berries, then spread the sour cream filling into the mold and let it spread. You can lift the form and shake it slightly from side to side.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the pan in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and bake the pie until fully cooked for fifteen to twenty minutes. The filling should set, but may be a little loose in the middle — this is normal. As it cools, the filling will finally stabilize.

Step 12

Step 12
After time has passed, remove the pie from the oven and release it from the mold, then cut it into portions.

Step 13

Step 13
Place the chopped pieces of cherry pie made from shortcrust pastry in sour cream filling on plates and serve. Bon appetit everyone!
