Honeysuckle Curd Pie with Sour Cream

Step 2
Mash the cottage cheese with a fork. It is advisable to take cottage cheese that is not dry, without lumps. For example, in briquettes. Then the dough will be more homogeneous.

Grease a baking dish (Ø 20-22 cm) with vegetable oil and sprinkle with flour. To make it easier to remove the cake, I usually make parchment blanks in the form of a circle to fit the mold with wide handles. Pour out the dough and spread it over the bottom and sides of the mold.

Step 13

Step 13
Pour the sour cream-egg mixture onto the dough.
