Hurry-up grated pies have long won the hearts of all the sweet tooth who love delicious, but do not want to waste time on lengthy preparations and complex recipes. It is noteworthy that this type of pastry is actually a Viennese cookie, which is prepared exactly according to this recipe, it is simply cut into small pieces. This type of cake is also popularly called "Curly Pie" or "Crumb" because of its top layer. This article contains some simple recipes with a photo of a grated pie and with step-by-step instructions for making it.

List of required ingredients

The recipe for grated pie with jam (photo below) does not differ in special frills or unique ingredients, which is why it is so loved by all housewives.

It is prepared quickly, the products are always at hand, and it is very difficult to spoil it. So, to prepare the base for the grated pie, according to the recipe you will need:

• 20 grams of good quality margarine;
• 2-3 eggs;
• 1 glass of sugar;
• 2 tbsp. spoons of sour cream;
• 700 grams of flour;
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda;
• vanillin optional.

How to choose the rightstuffing?

Filling for baking this kind can be varied: cottage cheese grated with sugar, grated apples or quince, berries (fresh or frozen), boiled condensed milk, but the classic version of grated pie is especially good: with jam.

What is inside the pie does not play a special role, the only condition is that the filling should not flow, otherwise the pie will turn out sticky, not baked and completely unsightly in appearance. Therefore:

1. If marmalade, jam or preserves are used, they should be thick. It happens that there is no product of the required quality in stock, but this can always be corrected: drain the excess from the liquid jam, thicken the jam by boiling over high heat for several minutes (be sure to stir so as not to burn).
2. When using berries, it is necessary to mix a couple of tablespoons of potato starch with them, especially if frozen ones are used. When baking, the starch will absorb the released juice and retain the necessary quality of the filling and the entire baking as a whole.

Step cooking

The dough for grated pie is prepared in the usual way, which is used for making shortbread. Softened in a warm room, margarine is ground by hand with flour and soda to a state of fine crumbs. There is no need to spare strength for this process, because the taste of the finished product will depend on the quality of the base. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, sugar and vanilla with a blender, beat until light foam and add sour cream to it. Combine this mass with mealy crumbs,kneading a lump of dough. In no case should you knead the dough for a long time, achieving an ideal structure - shortbread products do not like this.

Divide the finished dough into two equal pieces: wrap one in polyethylene and place in the freezer for half an hour or an hour, and roll out the second with a layer 1-1.5 cm thick and put on a square baking sheet, lightly sprinkled with flour, be sure to do sides so that the filling does not leak out of the pie. Cover with cling film or a towel to keep it warm while the second part of the dough is frozen.

Forming and baking

When the freezing time comes to an end, on the surface of the dough, which is rolled out on a baking sheet, lay out jam or jam, smearing it with a spoon in an even layer. Those who saw the finished grated pie with jam or its photo noticed a non-standard, disheveled look. This is achieved using a conventional grater with large holes: we rub the frozen piece of dough directly onto the jam layer, trying to distribute the mass evenly over the entire area of the pie. You should not rub the dough into a bowl, and then try to scatter it over the surface of the filling: it quickly becomes soft, thawing, loses its friability. The finished cake will not be as pretty as expected.

Place the cake pan in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, and bake until golden brown. This process takes no more than half an hour, but you should not immediately remove the cake from the mold. Its structure is very delicate and the cake canjust break into pieces. You need to wait for it to cool completely and only then cut into portions.

Cheese Pie

The same principle can be used to prepare a grated pie with curd filling. It is easy to prepare: mix two hundred grams of fat cottage cheese with four tablespoons of thick sour cream, the same amount of sugar and two eggs. The whole mass is ground with a blender and spread on the dough prepared according to the recipe above.

Next, the grated frozen dough covers the filling and the cake is baked in the oven. Incredibly tasty and he althy!

Grated pie can be made without animal products by substituting coconut butter for butter or using lean margarine. To prepare the dough, you need to take the following ingredients:

• 120 grams of coconut oil;
• two and a half cups of flour;
• 100 grams of sugar;
• 0, 5 tsp baking soda + 1/4 tsp citric acid;
• a pinch of vanilla;
• a little ice water;
• two cups of cranberries + 100 grams of sugar + 2 tbsp. spoons of starch for filling;
• 50 grams of powdered sugar.

Cooking

Grated pie from lean dough is prepared according to the principle described above: grind the butter with flour, vanilla and sugar into crumbs, add quenched soda and water so much that the dough forms into a lump. Let him lie down for half an hour under a towel, and then divide into two parts, send one of which tofreezer. Roll out the second piece and put it on the bottom of a baking sheet or baking dish, not forgetting to form low sides. You don’t need to grease it, because the dough is already quite greasy and definitely won’t stick to the bottom.

Any berry is used in this pie: frozen, fresh, mashed. Mix it with sugar and starch, distribute it over the dough on a baking sheet. Next, rub the second piece of dough on top, distributing it evenly, and place the cake in the oven. Bake until cooked at a temperature of 180 degrees and cool directly in the mold. The finished cake can be decorated with powdered sugar, coconut or chocolate chips if the sourness of the cranberries seems too bright. If there is no cranberry, then it can be replaced with currants or blueberries, as well as plums, mashed with sugar to a puree state.

Meringue and raspberry pie

If you want to cook a grated pie in an unusual way, then you can add a layer of meringue with raspberries to it. No one will refuse such a tasty treat. The dough is kneaded in the traditional way: from 150 grams of butter and 280 grams of flour, three tbsp. tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of soda, you also need to add three egg yolks, and leave the whites for meringue preparation. Divide the dough into two equal parts, send one to the freezer, and roll out the second on a baking sheet, making bumpers. The dough needs to be placed in the oven for 20 minutes so that it bakes a little. The oven temperature is 180 degrees.

While the baked base is cooling, prepare the meringue by whipping the remaining whites withthree tablespoons of sugar and vanilla. At the end of whipping, be sure to add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and 15 grams of vanilla pudding (dry mix) and one tbsp. a spoonful of unscented vegetable oil. Beat the mass again thoroughly and put on the baked first layer of the pie. Drown 200 grams of fresh raspberries in meringue, placing the berries evenly over the entire surface, and grate the frozen dough on top, following the classic recipe. Place the mold in the oven and continue baking for half an hour at the same temperature, let the cake cool completely, and then cut into portions for serving with tea.

As you can see from all the proposed recipes, there is nothing difficult in preparing this wonderful pie, and the options for fillings for it can be so varied that baking does not bother you at all, even if you cook it twice a week. The only negative of this dish is the high calorie content. It is from 350 calories per 100 gram serving (depending on the filling), but if you compensate for sports and an active lifestyle in general, then no excess weight will be terrible.
