I love a good pie, but I also love trying new things once in a while. AZIZA GOTOVIT over here has a creative spin on a pie that might satisfy both of those cravings.
This recipe is “not a pie”, but it’s very similar to one and it wouldn’t hurt to try it.
We’re starting off with 3 eggs in a bowl, then a pinch of salt and 150 grams of sugar. Then comes 100ml of vegetable oil and 70ml of milk.
Mix the current ingredients with a whisk nice and thoroughly.
Now add 200 grams of flour into the bowl too. Filter it with a strainer if you desire a more even and nice distribution of the flour.
That certainly helps. We wouldn’t just want to dump all those 200 grams of flour in one go now, would we?
And before we get to mixing it, add one more thing: 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
With a trusty turner or spatula, give it a good mix and watch as it starts to look nice and smooth.
Mixing it to look smooth may seem like we just want it to look pretty, but don’t be fooled here: a smooth mixture will do wonders for when the whole thing comes together.
A smooth, creamy mixture will work way better than a coarse, lumpy one. That goes for any recipe, really.
While this may not be a real pie, it still needs a tray much like one.
Find any pie tray you might have around and brush it with vegetable oil. This is where the mixture will sit and transform into the delicious form it’ll take later.
With the vegetable oil brushed on, the mixture won’t stick to the tray. So you won’t ruin the exterior when you try to sample it later.
There’s more things to add, so we’re not quite done. In another bowl, include 250 grams of cottage cheese and 1 egg.
Next, add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of starch and grind them in a bowl.
Mix them nicely with a turner after as well.
That will be the creamy topping for the actual “pie” later. Transfer the mixture into a bag and then top the mixture in the tray with it.
The next step is the most important one: baking it. Into the oven it goes at 180 degrees Celsius for 30-35 minutes.
The moment is leaves the oven is a really, really special moment.
Remember that goopy, yellowish batter you were mixing just a while ago? Well, now it’s risen into this scrumptious, crusty, creamy pastry with a fantastic texture.
And we’re not done topping it off either. If you have powdered sugar, sprinkle it on as a finishing touch.
This recipe was taught by an Arab cook, but can you still call it a pie?
Well, if it’s prepared like one, perhaps. But does it taste like one too? I guess there’s only one way to answer that.
