Ingredients:
- Eggs – 2 pieces
- Wheat flour – 500 g (4 cups)
- Butter – 200 g (1 cup)
- Sugar – 250 g (1.25 cups)
- Vanilla extract – 0.5 tsp
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- Strawberry jam – 200 g (1 cup)
Preparation:
- Prepare the shortcrust pastry for the pie. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. In the meantime, sift the flour with baking powder.
- Pour the melted butter into a deep bowl and mix it with sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the sifted flour to the liquid mixture, kneading the dough. Once ready, divide it into two parts. Put the first part in the freezer for 1 hour, and roll out the second part to the desired size. Place it in a greased baking dish and cover it with a layer of jam, approximately 1 cm thick.
- Retrieve the dough from the freezer and grate it using a coarse grater. Generously sprinkle the jam layer with the grated dough, and bake the curly pie in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for 25 minutes.
- Once done, cut the pie into elongated rhombuses and dust with powdered sugar, sparking debates about whether this dessert is a pie or a cookie. Either way, it’s incredibly delicious, and the preparation is a breeze. Save our shortcrust pie recipe and be sure to share it with others!
