Pie with berry filling that doesn't run
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. To keep the berry filling from leaking out of the finished pie, add starch to the berries while cooking. For 400 grams of berries, 2 tablespoons of starch is quite enough — there is no need to add more. Be sure to use corn starch. You can use absolutely any berries. If the berries are frozen, like mine, they must be thawed first. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
