Plum Nut Shortbread Pie

This pie is equally delicious warm or chilled. Crumbly shortbread dough, favorite nuts and halves of baked plums — this is just a wonderful combination. I found the dough especially interesting. Iʼve never done this before.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. To prepare the cottage cheese dough we will need: cottage cheese (preferably lumpy, not wet; I took wet cottage cheese in briquettes and when mixing with butter crumbs, large lumps began to form), flour, sugar, cold butter; baking powder.

Step 2

Mix flour with sugar and baking powder.

Grind it with your hands until you get fine crumbs.

Step 5

Step 5
Add cold butter cut into pieces into the second part of the flour mixture and grind everything into crumbs.

Step 6

Step 6
Combine the two types of crumbs and mix gently, being careful not to crush the crumbs so that they do not form a lump. When mixing, I ended up with larger crumbs than I wanted. While the filling is being prepared, it is better to put the crumbs in the refrigerator.

Filling. To prepare the filling we will need: plums (preferably dense, not soft); any nuts and powdered sugar.

Step 8

Step 8
Wash the plums, cut them in half and remove the pits.

Pour the resulting crumbs into a greased and floured baking dish (Ø 26-28 cm). Smooth out.

Step 14

Step 14
Cool the cake slightly, remove from the pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve the pie and cut into pieces. Bon appetit!
