Ingredients
For the crust
Method
Preparation of Crust
-
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 100 grams of powdered sugar, 125 grams of butter, 300 grams of flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix until a dough forms.
-
Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
Preparation of Filling
-
In another bowl, mix 500 grams of cottage cheese, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of sour cream until smooth.
Assembly and Baking
-
Divide the dough into two portions: one part should be 2/3 of the dough and the other 1/3.
-
Grease a 17×28 cm baking pan with butter.
-
Press the larger portion of dough into the bottom of the pan to form a base.
-
Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the dough base.
-
Crumble the remaining dough over the top of the cottage cheese mixture.
-
In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of milk and brush this mixture over the top crust.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Once baked, sprinkle some powdered sugar over the pie before serving.
Notes
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving; this helps the filling set. Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the cottage cheese mixture. You can fold in a handful of chocolate chips or lemon zest into the cottage cheese filling before spreading it onto the base.
