Ingredients

How to choose ingredients

• High-quality butter is quite hard after being refrigerated. If the butter that is taken out of the refrigerator creases easily, which means it contains vegetable fats. Always look at the expiration date on dairy products. This is not only an indicator of freshness, but also an indicator of quality. The shorter the shelf life indicated on the label, the more natural the product. Sometimes there is a yellow coating on the surface of the oil, which forms when stored improperly. It must be removed; it is very harmful to the body.

• Shelf life is also important for flour.. But not only expired flour is not suitable for baking. Do not buy flour that is too fresh, produced less than a month ago. A product like this needs to last.
• Granulated sugar must be pure, without lumps and specks. High-quality sugar has a neutral odor, and the color of the sugar depends on the degree of purification. The darker the sugar, the fewer stages of processing it has gone through.
• The most delicious and healthy coconut flakes– the one with the most fat. Experts say that the most useful is the “fine” variety.
• Don't confuse vanilla sugar with vanillin. Vanillin should not be added to baked goods in large quantities.

Step by step recipe

1. Combine 100 g of soft butter, 50 g of sugar and 1 yolk in a bowl. Mix everything well.
   
   
2. Add 1 spoon of baking powder and immediately begin adding the sifted flour and gradually knead. It is most convenient to knead this dough by hand.
   
   
3. Place the kneaded dough into a bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
   
   
4. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Place 400 g of cottage cheese, 1 bag of vanilla sugar and 100 g of granulated sugar in a bowl. Also beat 3 eggs and add the protein that remains after preparing the dough.
   
   
5. Beat with a blender until a homogeneous mass is formed.
   
   
6. Add a tablespoon of starch and the zest of one lemon. Mix well.
   
   
7. Now prepare the mixture with which you will sprinkle the pie. Take 100 g of cold butter, cut it into cubes.
   
   
8. Add 70 g granulated sugar and 100 g coconut flakes. Mash the mixture with your hands until all the ingredients are mixed and form crumbs. Place it in the refrigerator temporarily.
   
   
9. Remove the shortbread dough from the refrigerator, which has been left for 30 minutes. Take a round springform pan and place the dough in it. Then spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan with your hands, making low sides.
   
   
10. Place the jam cherries on the dough. Determine their quantity according to your taste.
    
    
11. Pour the curd mixture over the cherries and sprinkle the coconut mixture on top. To prevent the top of the pie from browning prematurely, cover the pan with foil.
    
    
12. Preheat the oven to 180° and place the pie pan for 45-50 minutes. 10 minutes before cooking, remove the foil and bake for the remaining time.

Classic recipe for shortcrust pastry with cottage cheese

Cottage cheese gives the dough softness, plasticity and delicate taste. The baked goods are airy and melt in your mouth. These can be cookies, shortcakes, juices, pies with fruit and berry filling and cream pies. For the classic recipe, you need to take cottage cheese that is fatty, but not too wet, without lumps and an abundance of whey.

How to knead:

1. Grind the cottage cheese, add salt, combine with the yolk and granulated sugar.
2. Mix the flour with slaked soda and butter, and then with the curd mass.
3. Now you need to knead the dough thoroughly. You don’t need to do this for a long time, otherwise the baked goods will be tough. Even if the consistency is not uniform, rolling out the layer will correct everything.
4. Place the dough ball in the refrigerator for 45 minutes. It will harden slightly and stop sticking to your hands. After this, you can begin preparing pies and cookies.

This is a recipe for unleavened dough; if necessary, the amount of granulated sugar can be increased.

Low-calorie shortbread dough with cottage cheese

Baking from shortcrust pastry according to the traditional recipe turns out to be very high in calories. This figure can be reduced if the composition is slightly changed. Required:

• flour – 350 g;
• tender low-fat cottage cheese – 200 g;
• egg – 1 pc;
• low fat spread – 80 g;
• granulated sugar – 1 tbsp;
• vanilla sugar – 1 sachet;
• soda – 1 tsp.

Preparing dietary dough is even easier than using the classic recipe:

1. Grind the softened spread with granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, slaked soda and egg.
2. Mash the cottage cheese with a fork and add to the other ingredients. Stir until smooth and allow 15 minutes to “ripen”.
3. Add the sifted flour into the mixture, stir and wait a few minutes until it thickens. Knead the dough, roll it into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes. The chilled dough can be used to form future baked goods.

Low-fat cottage cheese, spread and a small amount of sugar greatly reduce the calorie content of products made from such dough. In cookies without filling and topping, it will not exceed 200 kcal per 100 grams, so you can treat yourself to them even on a diet.

Technological map No. 100.

Cooking technology and quality requirements.

It would seem that making shortbread dough is a piece of cake. Mix everything and it's ready. But no, without certain rules you may end up with a hard dough with unpleasantly crunchy grains of sugar on your teeth. Of course, if you are friends with baking and know everything or almost everything about it, then you can skip all my advice. Well, if you are a beginner, then I will try to sort everything out for you.

Of course, kindergarten kitchens are equipped with special equipment for kneading dough, therefore, in the technological map they simply write - knead everything until smooth. But what if we only have our hands and a regular mixer? We will build on this.

Eggs must be washed before use, especially if they are homemade. For what? If you are interested, read about it, which is on our website.

Remove all ingredients for cooking from the refrigerator in advance; they should be at room temperature before kneading.

Instead of regular sugar, you need to take fine sugar or powdered sugar, since the dough is quite dry and regular sugar will not dissolve well, resulting in a crunch on the teeth, which is not very pleasant. No powder? Just pour sugar into a coffee grinder and in five to ten seconds the powder is ready.

In a bowl with a mixer, mix butter with sugar, egg and sour cream. Please note that in kindergarten they take sour cream with no more than 15% fat content. This is not important for the dough, but the fat content will be slightly reduced.

Sift the flour. This is not necessary at all to saturate the air, as it seems to have already been proven that nothing is particularly saturated, but to ensure that there are no lumps and debris that are sometimes found in flour.

Add flour, soda to the bowl and mix again until crumbs form. Next, quickly gather the dough into a ball with your hands. The longer you knead the dough with your hands, the more the butter melts and the harder the dough will be.

The dough is ready, but while we clean everything up, wash the dishes and make the filling, let our dough lie in the refrigerator. To prevent it from drying out, wrap it in a regular cellophane bag.

According to the technology, the cottage cheese is first whipped until smooth; it should become smooth, without lumps. This can be achieved in two ways - grind in a blender or grind through a sieve and then mix with all the other ingredients. The blender is generally simple, with a minimum of body movements - just put all the ingredients in there and beat well. Half a minute and we have a smooth curd mass.

If you see that the cottage cheese is a little dry, add a spoon or two of kefir or low-fat sour cream. I added 2 tablespoons of kefir. I didn’t add soda at all, and in the end the filling turned out quite tender. Moreover, the filling already increases in size during baking and can tear the dough, which is undesirable.

The oven needs to be preheated, so now is the time to turn it on. This is important for shortcrust pastry.

Take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into 10 equal parts. The easiest way is to weigh all the dough, divide by 10 and then weigh out the required amount. If there are no scales, everything is done by eye.

According to the technology, these 10 parts must be divided into two more parts, each of which should be rolled into round cakes. Next, place a spoonful of curd mass in the middle of one, and cover with the second circle, overlapping the edges.

I decided to make it a little simpler: roll it out into a wide oval (the thickness of the dough is a couple of millimeters), and pile the filling on one edge.

Carefully cover with the other half (be careful that the cottage cheese does not “creep”) and lightly press the edges. Next, I pressed it along the edge with a fork, making a sort of Christmas tree.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and place our shortbread curds. 12 pieces is just a whole baking sheet. In theory, you don’t need to lubricate them with anything on top; just put them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees.

Bake for 10, maximum 15 minutes, since even slightly burnt shortcrust pastry is not a tasty pastry. Let it better remain light. My edges turned brown, and I trimmed them a little here and there.

The curds turned out tasty, tender, with a lot of curd filling, and not particularly sweet. I sprinkled powdered sugar on top of them. If you want something sweeter, add an additional half tablespoon of sugar to both the dough and the filling.

Bon appetit to your children and you!
