grated pie with jam can be safely attributed to delicious and simple homemade cakes. It is prepared on the basis of shortcrust pastry, and got its name due to the fact that its top layer is rubbed on a grater. The classic grated one is always prepared with homemade jam, although there are also recipes for a pie with curd filling or a combination - cottage cheese and jam. In addition to these ingredients, the filling of a grated pie may consist of condensed milk, dried fruits, nuts, fresh fruits, poppy seeds, berries, and chocolate.

Ingredients:

• Butter - 1 pack,
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Eggs - 1 pc.,
• Vanillin - 1 sachet,
• Baking powder for dough - 1 sachet,
• Flour - about 3 cups
• Currant jam 350-300 ml.

Grated pie with jam - step by step recipe

We proceed to the preparation of the grated pie from the manufacture of shortcrust pastry. Take the butter out of the freezer (refrigerator). Once the butter is soft, cut it into small cubes with a knife. You can speed up the defrosting of butter using a microwave. Put it in a bowl and turn on the microwave at medium power for 2-3 minutes. Margarine can also be used to make a grated pie, but since the percentage of fat in margarine is much lower than in butter, it must be taken twice as much.

Add the required amount of sugar to it. In the event that you like sweeter pastries, the amount of sugar can be increased.

Beat in an egg.

Add vanilla for flavor. Add, literally, a pinch of salt.

Use a spatula to mix all the ingredients for the shortcrust pastry. You can use an immersion blender or mixer to facilitate this process.

Pour in the sifted flour.

Add baking powder for dough.

Knead shortbread dough. The finished dough should be smooth, elastic in structure and moderately oily.

Divide the dough into two even parts. Put in bags or wrap with cling film. Put one part of the dough in the refrigerator. Send the other one to the freezer. Remove the dough after an hour. Heat the oven up to 180C. Prepare a rectangular cake pan. Line it with parchment. Brush with sunflower oil using a pastry brush.

Roll out the dough that was in the refrigerator into a thin layer on a table sprinkled with flour. Cut out a rectangle with a knife, the sides of which will be 2 cm longer than the sides of the form. Thus, you will get the base of the pie with sides. Put the dough into the form. Smooth it out with your hands in an even layer.

So, the base of the pie is ready. The next layer of the pie will be the filling. Any jam you like is suitable for grated pie, as long as it is thick. As for me, currant jam is ideal for such a pie, as well as for waffles with condensed milk. Fragrant jam with a slight sourness will be an excellent addition to sweet shortcrust pastry. Spread or jam. The main thing is not to overdo it with the thickness of the layer.

A thick layer of jam can cause the bottom layer to not cook through properly. In addition, such a cake will be difficult to cut into even pieces, the jam will simply float out and the pieces will break. Grate the second piece of dough on a coarse grater on top of the jam in an even layer. Try to rub so that there are no gaps and jam does not glow in the cake.

Place the cake tin on the middle rack of the oven. Bake 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Ready sand grated pie with currant jam take it out of the oven.

After it has cooled, cut into rectangles or squares. Before that, you can additionally crush it with powdered sugar. Serve with tea, coffee or cocoa. Enjoy your meal. I would be glad if this recipe for grated pie with jam you will need in the future.
