Ingredients

For test:

• large chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• premium wheat flour - 450-500 g;
• butter - 200 g;
• granulated sugar - 100 g;
• vanillin - 1 g;
• baking powder for dough - 1 tsp

For currant filling:

• blackcurrant jam - 300 g.

Cooking steps

Mixing flour base

Cooking according to the recipe begins with kneading shortcrust pastry. The flour base is easy to make. But be sure: blackcurrant jam cake in a simple dough is delicious.

1. To begin with, chicken eggs are broken into a deep container. Beat with a mixer until a foamy and homogeneous mass is obtained.

2. Heat some water in a small saucepan. Butter is spread on a plate, which is then placed in a pot of water. Thus, the butter is melted in a water bath. After, it is cooled at room temperature.

3. Pour the melted butter into a bowl with beaten eggs. Sugar and vanillin are added to them. Mix thoroughly with a tablespoon.

4. Wheat flour is carefully sifted through a sieve and mixed with baking powder for dough.

5. A mixture of flour and baking powder is gradually added to a container with an egg-butter mass and beat with a mixer at low speed. We recommend paying attention to the consistency of the dough during kneading: depending on the quality of the flour, an additive may be needed.

6. Knead an elastic shiny flour base. It shouldn't stick to your hands.

Formation of dessert from shortcrust pastry

Blackcurrant jam is cooked in different ways. For this recipe, a thick jam without whole berries is suitable, which resembles jam. If the jam is too liquid, then it must be thickened with potato starch. To do this, add 2 tbsp. l. starch in currant jam and stir thoroughly until it thickens.

1. The finished shortbread dough is divided into two parts. One of them should be half the size of the other.

2. Most of the flour base is laid out in a baking dish with a diameter of 25-26 cm. Shortbread dough is straightened by hand in shape. They make high sides so that the currant filling does not leak out and burn.

3. Spread jam on top of the flour base of the pie, evenly distributing with a spoon.

4. Sprinkle the table with a little wheat flour. Spread a smaller part of the shortcrust pastry on it. Wipe the rolling pin with flour and roll out the flour base into a small layer 5 mm thick.

5. The resulting layer is cut into strips and the currant pie is decorated so that a lattice is obtained.

Oven baking and serving

Preheat the oven to 200°C. A pie with currant jam is sent to the oven in a baking dish. Dessert is baked for about 35-40 minutes.

The finished shortcrust pastry dessert is removed from the oven and allowed to cool slightly in the mold. Then the cake with blackcurrant jam is removed from the mold and transferred to a large flat plate. We advise you to decorate homemade cakes with jam filling with powdered sugar or sesame seeds. Before serving, the cake is cut into squares or triangles.

You can cook according to this recipe for a celebration and on a normal day. The recipe is useful when there is very little time for cooking.

Bon appetit!

Step by step recipe with photo and video

Pie with currant jam is delicious, satisfying, fragrant and festive. Preparing such a dessert is very simple, and the ingredients are all available, but the result is on top.

I propose to prepare the dough on the basis of mayonnaise. Its taste is amazing! In its structure, this is something between ordinary yeast and shortcrust pastry - it is soft, but does not crumble, flexible and at the same time tender and airy. He is a pleasure to work with and a pleasure to eat. Such a juicy and fragrant cake with currant jam will be a great addition to tea drinking.

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Put mayonnaise into a deep bowl, pour in water at room temperature, beat in chicken eggs, add vanillin, dry yeast and sugar.

Thoroughly stir the whole mass until smooth, it will turn out quite thick.

Then add the sifted flour in parts and knead the dough. It will be soft, tender, flexible and not sticky to your hands. Cover with a towel and set aside to rest, at least 20 minutes.

At this time, prepare currant jam or go to the pantry for it, if one is already available. Wash and sort the currant berries, put them in a blender bowl and cover with sugar.

Grind with a blender into a puree, pour into a saucepan and send to the fire. Stirring occasionally, evaporate the liquid. This will take 10-15 minutes.

Knead the rested dough well and cut off 1/3 of the total piece.

Roll out the remaining dough into a 1 cm thick layer.

Put the rolled out dough into a baking dish. Form the sides, cut off the edges with a knife, smoothing them beautifully. Poke holes all over the dough with a fork.

Pour currant jam into the center, distributing evenly.

Roll out a piece of the remaining dough and cut into long strips. Alternating horizontally and vertically, put them on top of the jam. Twist two strips together or twist into a pigtail and make a side.

Bake a pie with currant jam in the oven for 30-35 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

Delicate, fragrant, sweet and very tasty cake cut and serve.

Currant-currant pie: recipe

There are a lot of lovers of curd and berry products. It is for such gourmets that a recipe for a pie with the addition of cottage cheese and currant jam will be given. Baking will turn out to be very delicate in taste, and thanks to the berries it will have a piquant sourness. True, this cake contains another secret - the most delicate layer of meringue, which will add additional flavor notes to the dessert.

To prepare the dough for this pie you will need:

• wheat flour - 1.5 cups;
• margarine - 200 g;
• granulated sugar - 1/2 cup with a volume of 250 ml;
• baking powder - 1 tsp

To prepare the filling, take the following products:

• cottage cheese - 500 g;
• granulated sugar - 1/2 cup;
• egg yolks - 3 pcs.;
• starch - 2 tbsp. l.;
• a sachet of vanillin;
• currant jam, it is recommended to take with whole berries - 2-3 tbsp. l.

Meringue needs the following ingredients:

• granulated sugar - 1 cup;
• egg whites - 3 pcs.

If you stocked up on all of the listed products, then you can start cooking fragrant pastries.

1. You need to start by preparing the dough, for this, sift the flour and mix with the baking powder;
2. Take the margarine out ahead of time to soften it up a bit. After that, rub it with sugar. Add flour to the resulting mass. Since the dough should turn out short, we need to knead it very quickly. Long kneading will make the workpiece hard, which will spoil the taste of baking. As a result, you have fatty crumbs - this will be the dough. Send it to the refrigerator, as now you will need to prepare the filling;
3. To make the filling, you will need a blender or food processor. If there is no such technique, then use a simple mixer. Place cottage cheese, yolks, sugar and vanilla in a bowl for whipping. Beat everything thoroughly with the aggregate that is in your kitchen until a homogeneous mass of cottage cheese is obtained;
4. Combine the jam with starch and carefully introduce into the curd mass. Try to keep the currant berries intact;
5. For baking, it is recommended to use a detachable Teflon mold. Put the dough on it, it is not necessary to do it evenly and accurately, let the base lie in large pieces. Distribute the filling over the dough and remove the form with the future delicacy in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes;
6. While baking is cooking, make the meringue. To do this, beat the egg whites until a thick and dense foam forms. Then gradually pour sugar into the protein "cloud", while constantly wielding a mixer. As a result, you will get a beautiful sweet foam;
7. When 20 minutes have passed, remove the cake pan from the oven. Spread the meringue over the treat in an even layer. Return the pastry back to the oven for another quarter of an hour. If you cook in a silicone mold, then the baking time may vary;
8. When the pie is ready, let it cool, and then transfer to a dish.

The delicate taste of the pie will certainly please your household.
