Pie with cottage cheese and jam

120 min4 serv.21 февр. 2026 г.

Description

Homemade baked goods for tea. The pie is made in the shape of a flower and consists of individual pastries. The center is a single round pastry, and the “petals” are elongated pastries. Sugar can be added to the cottage‑cheese filling if desired. I didn’t do that, because the dough is already sweet enough, and with cottage cheese the filling already contains sweet jam. The pie can be decorated with poppy seeds and sesame, as I did. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
