Sorrel pie with sorrel

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. The amount of sugar can be changed depending on what kind of taste you want to get, more or less sweet. The filling can also be made only from sorrel, but cottage cheese perfectly complements and softens the sorrel sourness, so it's better with it. We make the dough without eggs, so that the dough will turn out to be especially soft and tender.

2. Step 2:

   

   Let's start with the test. In a bowl, soften the margarine in a water bath, but do not completely let it melt. Add sugar to the margarine, mix so that it dissolves.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour in the sifted wheat flour and half a teaspoon of baking powder.

4. Step 4:

   

   We grind everything into crumbs with our hands.

5. Step 5:

   

   We make a recess in the mass and pour cold, or better, ice water into it, and quickly collect the crumbs into a ball of dough. It should be dense, elastic and slightly layered. With this method of kneading, the dough is slightly different from the classic shortbread, after baking it looks like puff pastry. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

6. Step 6:

   

   While the dough is resting. Preparing the filling for the pie. sorrel leaves are washed well, cut into small pieces with a knife.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cottage cheese is ground with sugar and cream, but you do not need to beat it into a paste-like mass. It turns out the filling is tastier when cottage cheese grains.

9. Step 8:

   

   Divide the finished dough into two parts: one slightly larger than the second. A larger piece of dough is rolled into a round layer. We spread this layer of dough into a greased form, making the sides.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put sorrel and cottage cheese filling on top.

11. Step 10:

    

    We also roll out the second piece of dough into a round layer and cover the filling with it, pinching the edges, prick the dough on top with a fork so that steam comes out and the pie is baked. Cover the cake pan with foil and bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Foil should cover the pie so that the sorrel filling is well baked, since the sorrel was previously steamed. Then we remove the foil, bake for about 15 minutes, let the pie turn brown.

12. Step 11:

    

    We take the pie out of the oven, let it cool down a little and serve it to the table. Have a nice tea party!
