Ingredients
Dough:
- 150 gram Butter
- 200 gram Flour wheat / Flour
- 1 piece Chicken egg
- 100 gram Sugar
- 100 gram Walnuts
- 1/3 teaspoon Vanilin
- 50 ml Kefir
Filling:
- 300 gram Cottage cheese
- 50 gram Sugar
- 1 piece Chicken egg
- 150 gram Dried fruits I took dried apricots, prunes and dried cranberries
Instructions
- For the dough, cut the butter into small cubes and grind it into crumbs with sifted flour.
- Separate the white from the yolk; the white is needed to grease the cake. Add yolk, sugar and vanillin to the crumb.
- Chop the nuts in a blender or chop with a knife. Pour in the nuts, add soda and gradually pour in kefir.
- Knead the dough and roll it into a ball. You need just enough kefir so that the dough stops crumbling. Wrap the dough in foil and put it in the refrigerator.
- For the filling, cut dried apricots and prunes into small pieces. We mix cottage cheese, sugar, egg and dried fruits.
- Divide the dough into two unequal parts. We distribute most of it with our hands in shape, I took a round one with a diameter of 26 cm and make small sides. We spread the filling on the dough.
- From the remaining part, you can cut out figures and lay out on top. Roll out the entire dough layer will not work. I cut out small circles and pricked them with a fork, there were no more interesting molds at hand. Grease the top of the pie with slightly beaten egg whi
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
- Bon appetit.
