Shortcrust Pie with Berries

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 2 cups
Butter - 5.3 oz
Sugar - 3 tablespoons
Strawberry - 17.6 oz
Farm fresh eggs - 2 pieces
Vanillin - ¼ teaspoon
Apple - 8.8 oz
Sour Cream - 3.5 oz
Powdered Sugar - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sift the flour through a fine sieve, gather it into a mound, and make a well in the center where you will add the sour cream, raw egg, sugar, softened butter, and vanillin. Knead the dough and place it in a cool place for a while. On a floured board, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 cm and place it on a baking sheet. Place a large plate upside down on the dough, cut around it with the tip of a knife, then remove the plate, leaving the dough on the sheet. Combine the trimmed pieces of dough, roll them out again, and cut into strips 2 cm wide. Arrange these strips along the edge of the circle, brushed with egg, pinching them to form a scalloped edge.

Step 2

After that, brush the pie with egg yolk and place it in a hot oven for 15–20 minutes. As soon as the dough turns golden, reduce the heat, and after another 5–7 minutes, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on the sheet. Once cooled, arrange the cleaned strawberries on top and pour apple or apricot jam over them. Finally, transfer the pie from the sheet to a serving plate, sprinkle the edges with powdered sugar, and serve. You can also make pies with various fresh and canned berries and fruits.
