Description

As another option, you can top the dough with thawed blueberries, cherries, or strawberries sprinkled with sugar.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 1½ glasses
Brown Sugar - 1 glass
Butter - 4.6 oz
Baking Powder - 1 tablespoon
Cottage cheese - 8.8 oz
20% Sour Cream - 5 teaspoons
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the flour, baking powder, and 0.5 cups of sugar, then add the butter cut into thin pieces. Combine all the ingredients by hand until it forms a crumbly mixture — this is the dough.

Step 2

Mash the cottage cheese with a fork, then add the sour cream and egg yolks.

Step 3

Whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar until they triple in volume, then fold them into the cheese mixture.

Step 4

Pour two-thirds of the dough into the baking dish. Top with the cottage cheese and egg white mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining dough.

Step 5

Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 180–392°F for 25–30 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and let the pie cool in the slightly open oven before allowing it to come to room temperature. After that, refrigerate it. There, it will become firm like a cheesecake and will have a similar taste.
