Delicious grated pie with. With currant delicacy. Experiments with dough

In our family, the classic shredded pie with jam is a Sunday dinner table staple. Baking is so versatile and easy to make that it’s always a pleasure to cook, and even more so to eat! And so that the sweet shortbread pie does not become boring, I try to bake it with different fillings. Fresh or frozen berries, fruits, curd mass with sugar and vanilla are suitable. But the most successful, in my opinion, is the classic grated pie - with thick jam or marmalade. And it’s better if the jam is sour, for example, currant or plum.

Grated pie with jam

Advice:
The jam must be thick so that it does not spread on the baking sheet during baking. If you have a liquid filling, mix it with potato starch (one tablespoon per 300 g of jam).

step by step photo recipe

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 3 cups,
Margarine (or butter) – 200 g,
Sour cream – 1 tbsp,
Granulated sugar - 1 glass,
Soda – 0.5 teaspoon,
Salt is on the tip of a knife,
Eggs – 2 pcs.,
Vanilla sugar – 1 sachet,
Jam – 300 g.

Cooking process:

Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Add soda and vanilla sugar. Mix the ingredients.

It is better to use soft margarine, so take it out of the refrigerator an hour before preparing the dough. Cut the melted margarine into small pieces and grind into crumbs with flour.

Beat the eggs with sugar using a mixer into a fluffy white mass. Add a spoonful of sour cream. Then combine the egg-sour cream mixture with the flour mixture and knead into a soft dough.

Divide the shortbread dough for the grated pie into two equal parts. Wrap one in cling film and place in the freezer for about an hour.

Spread the second part of the dough in an even layer over the surface of the baking dish, forming low sides. The dough itself is quite fatty, so there is no need to additionally grease the mold or baking sheet with oil. The only thing I did was lightly flour the surface.

Place a layer of jam on top of the dough. By the way, don’t skimp on it for the grated pie - the more jam, the tastier the finished baked goods will be. I put 300 g of jam, but you can increase the amount a little.

Remove the dough from the freezer. Now the frozen solid mass can be easily grated. Spread the shortbread crumbs in an even layer over the jam.

Heat the oven to 170 degrees, bake the future pie for 35 - 40 minutes. Bake until golden brown. Do not rush to remove the finished cake from the mold so as not to break it. It’s better to let the baked goods cool a little before serving.

Grated pie with jam: step-by-step photo recipe from Ksenia.

Grated pie with jam is made from shortcrust pastry (or at least similar to shortbread), which is grated onto the top layer of the pie - hence the name (note that some recipes suggest grating the dough for the bottom layer - the base of the pie, but It seems to us that this is “extra labor costs”). This pie is similar in quality to cookies, it is a bit dry and can be stored for several days.

Need to:

Margarine – 200 grams (we prefer “Creamy”; you can even replace margarine with butter)
Chicken eggs – 2 pieces
Granulated sugar – 1 cup (about 200 grams)
Table salt – 1/3 teaspoon
Baking powder for dough – 10 grams (this is approximately 1 teaspoon), can be replaced with 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda
Jam or marmalade – 1.5-2 cups (the amount depends on how liquid or thick the jam is)
Sour cream - 200 grams, can be replaced with mayonnaise, but the dough will be fattier (in general, it is the presence of sour cream or mayonnaise among the ingredients that distinguishes this dough from ordinary shortbread dough and makes it more tender; if you wish, you can not put sour cream or mayonnaise at all, but then reduce the amount of flour is at least 0.5 cups or even a whole one)
Wheat flour – 4.5-5 cups (about 750-800 grams)

Preparation:

In a large bowl, cut the margarine into small pieces with a knife, place the bowl on the stove over low heat and, stirring, melt the margarine until liquid.

Remove the bowl from the stove, add sugar, salt, baking powder or soda and mix everything. “Scramble” the eggs in a glass, mixing the whites and yolks (it’s convenient to do this with a fork), pour the eggs into the same bowl and mix again. Place sour cream or mayonnaise in the same bowl and stir again until smooth.

Now gradually (a glass at a time, and after 4 glasses - half a glass at a time) add flour to the bowl, kneading the dough.

Stir the dough first with a spoon, and then knead with your hands until the dough sticks from your hands and from the walls of the bowl and a soft lump is formed.

Cut off about one third of the resulting dough or a little more. From this third we make several (3-4) lumps of dough, place them on a plate, and put the plate in the refrigerator, or better yet, in the freezer. We will then grate this part of the dough. The margarine dough with the addition of sour cream or mayonnaise is very soft and quite fatty; if it is not cooled (it does not have time to freeze), it will be very difficult to grate. If suddenly you do not have the opportunity to cool the dough, then, firstly, it is better not to add sour cream or mayonnaise to the dough, and secondly, add another half a glass of flour or a little more to the part separated for rubbing and knead this part of the dough again.

Grease the baking sheet with margarine OR cover it, place the remaining majority of our dough in the middle of the baking sheet and roll it out with a short rolling pin over the entire area of the baking sheet. If you don’t have a short rolling pin (and the sides of the baking sheet prevent you from using a regular one), you can roll out the dough using a wooden mashed potato masher or a clean, empty cylindrical glass bottle.

Using a table knife with a rounded tip, we make sides on the dough so that the jam does not leak out: with a knife we move the dough from the edge of the baking sheet to the middle, and on the other side we prop the dough with a finger in the opposite direction ( watch our video recipe!). ATTENTION! Don't forget to trim (with scissors, of course) the protruding edges of the baking paper if you use it: the paper should not touch the walls of the oven.

Spread the jam (in our photo) or marmalade evenly over the entire surface of the dough, up to the edges (remember: the edges of the dough are soft, try not to wrinkle them).

We take the cooled dough out of the refrigerator and grate it on a coarse grater, sprinkling it with jam. This can be done by holding a flat grater directly over the cake and moving it evenly over the surface of the cake.

Place the pie in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees (heating level above average, but not maximum) at medium height or higher. Bake for 8-10 minutes, after which we reduce the heating level to 160-170 degrees (this is, if you don’t have a thermometer in the oven, the level is below average, but not minimum) and bake for another 20-25 minutes. We determine the readiness of the shortbread pie by color: the pie will brown to a yellowish-brown color.

Homemade pies are always a joy for the whole family.

Grated pie is considered by housewives to be one of the simplest and at the same time unusual desserts. Most often, these baked goods are based on shortbread dough, and you can experiment with fillings.

Such pies are also called “Hungarian”, most likely because the recipe came from the cuisine of Hungary. In pastry shops, desserts are often cut into small squares and labeled as “Viennese cookies.”

This dessert has become popular for its versatility and base. This is a classic shortbread dough, and each housewife decides for herself how to use it.

You can roll it into a layer, or you can put it in the freezer and then grate it or make crumbs. So the pie can look different and also taste different.

Filling options

The classic recipe necessarily implies the presence of jam in the filling, any jam at that.

But there are other types of fillings that will go well with shortcrust pastry in this recipe:

condensed milk, and in combination with nuts and coconut flakes - even tastier;
berries and fruits. In summer you can use them fresh, in winter - frozen. You can take strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, apples, cherries, currants, gooseberries, peaches and apricots. You need to add sugar to taste for those with a sweet tooth, as well as starch so that the fruit does not leak out. A pie with such a filling needs to have higher sides;
dried fruits, or better yet a mixture of them: raisins, dried apricots, dates, prunes. You need to grind it all in a meat grinder or blender;
cottage cheese (can be in its pure form, or in combination with fresh or dried fruits, berries, nuts);
chocolate;
lemon, grated with granulated sugar and semolina.

Berries or fruits boiled in sugar syrup go well in a grated pie with tender dough. This dessert can be prepared to suit every taste - both for those with a sweet tooth and for those who like sour things.

This dessert filled with apples does not go stale for a long time and retains its aroma and taste.

Grated pie with any jam is easy to prepare when you are short of time and money. It is simple and inexpensive.

Ingredients:

butter – 1 pack;
sugar – 0.2 kg;
vanilla sugar – 1 pinch;
flour – 0.5 kg;
vinegar (apple) – 1 tablespoon;
eggs – 3 pieces;
soda – 1 teaspoon;
apple jam – 0.3 kg.

Mix eggs and sugar in a container. The food and bowl must be cold - this is important for shortcrust pastry. Sugar is added to taste, but it is important to remember that the more sour the berry or fruit, the more sweetness will be needed to overcome the sourness.

Flour is poured into another cup, and grated chilled butter is poured into it. Rub the flour and butter with your hands until a homogeneous fine crumb is formed, and the butter should not melt. After this, pour in the mixture of eggs and sugar.

Quench the soda in vinegar, also pour it into a container with flour, and add vanilla sugar.

The crumbly shortbread dough must be kneaded very quickly so that it does not have time to heat up. If it crumbles too much, you need to add a little cold water.

Then the resulting mass should be divided into 2 parts, different in size. Place the smaller one in film and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Most of the dough should be rolled out thinly under a baking dish, then covered with film on top and placed in for a quarter of an hour. After this time, you need to put cold food on it and spread it in an even thin layer.

The dough that was placed in the freezer for half an hour is rubbed on top.

The cake is ready when the crumbs on top are golden brown.

With cherry jam

The dough is prepared according to the same recipe as grated apple and apricot pie.

The base is also divided into 2 equal parts, and one of them is placed in a pre-oiled form. High sides are formed to prevent the filling from leaking out. Cherry jam is spread on the dough, with fine crumbs from the second piece of shortcrust pastry on top.

How to cook?

Mix granulated sugar, margarine, eggs, flour and baking powder in a deep container. The dough is divided into 2 parts, one of which is put in the refrigerator.
In another plate you need to mix sour cream, sugar and all the cottage cheese. The first part of the dough is rolled out into a thin layer and placed in a mold that has been previously greased with butter. Cottage cheese is added evenly on top.
Next, you need to take the second part of the dough, which has already cooled, and grate it on top using a coarse grater.
The oven needs to be preheated to 200 degrees and place the pie there. Bake for 40 minutes. The cooled dessert is cut into equal pieces.

With lemon

To prepare a grated pie with such an unusual filling you will need:

flour - 0.3 kg;
butter - half a pack;
sugar -0.2 kg;
soda - half a teaspoon;
egg - 1 pc.;
lemon - 2 pcs.;
vanilla sugar - 1 whole sachet;
salt - on the tip of the knife;
fresh lemon juice – 1 tablespoon;
water - 50 ml;
corn starch - 2 tablespoons.

The preparation steps are as follows.

The dough is prepared in the same way as in previous recipes. The correct shortbread dough is elastic in consistency and does not stick to your fingers.
The resulting mass is divided into 2 unequal parts, both of them are wrapped in film and sent to the refrigerator for an hour.
The larger piece is rolled out into a thin cake and placed in a mold. Right in the mold, the dough is sent back into the cold.
At this time, you can prepare the lemon filling. Zest the lemons and remove the seeds. The fruits need to be cut into small slices.
Lemon slices are sent to a blender, and they need to be crushed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained. You can pass it through the device directly with the zest, but then bitterness will appear.
Next, the lemon mass is transferred to a saucepan with a thick bottom, starch and sugar are poured into it, everything is mixed well so that there are no lumps. You need to cook a little so that the consistency of the filling becomes a little thicker.
Now you can take the form with the dough out of the refrigerator and spread the lemon mixture evenly over it.
The second part of the dough is rubbed on top.
The pie is baked for 30-40 minutes. The crumbs are slightly browned, the main thing here is not to dry out the pie.

With apples

What is included in this dessert:

flour (0.34 kg);
sugar (0.15);
oil (0.1);
eggs (2 pcs.);
soda (half a teaspoon);
vanillin (on the tip of a knife);
apples (preferably sweet and sour);
cinnamon.

The dough is prepared in the same way as for any other recipe, divided into 2 parts, both of which are put in the refrigerator.

You need to prepare the filling. Take 3 large apples, peel them and remove the seeds. The pulp is rubbed through a grater and sprinkled with lemon juice. This will allow you to acquire a subtle sourness and prevent the apples from darkening.

Rub 1 piece of dough from the refrigerator into the mold. Place mashed apple mixture on top and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

The rest of the shortbread dough is rubbed on top. The grated crumbs should cover the pie in a completely even layer.

Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for a little over half an hour.

The finished dessert is cooled and then carefully cut into equal parts.

There are some tricks in making grated pie that experienced housewives are willing to share.

Berries and some fruits produce juice, which must be disposed of before you start baking the dessert. Excess liquid will prevent the bottom crust from baking well. Adding a small amount of starch will prevent the dessert from becoming too moist.
Margarine and butter for baking can be taken in equal proportions. This will not worsen the taste, but will save money.
The grated pie is prepared exclusively in a preheated oven at high temperatures (180-210 degrees).
If the dessert is sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving, it will look very original.

Conclusion

A simple but at the same time exquisite grated pie will receive many rave reviews. It can be prepared both for special occasions and for everyday home tea parties with the family.
