We lighten the mood to tasty

It is no secret that the easy way to lighten itself the mood is to eat something tasty.
I very much love home-made pastries. But you will not force to bake in the summer when there is a heat, me not for all the tea in China.
But here the fall with cold weather and rains comes, and soul just asks hot to tea with something tasty.
At this time I like to bake pastries with apples and plums which there is a lot of in the market.



This year I was surprised by the low price of bananas therefore I several times baked banana muffins according to our Marinochka's recipe from New Zealand.
Here too is where to experiment. For example, once I added raisin, then plums to muffins. It turned out very tasty.


Generally I like to try new recipes. And every fall I try to bake something brand new.
This year the fall to us came early. Usually we until the end of October still sunbathe and we go to swim in the sea. But not now. People walk in jackets for a long time, often there are rains, in the apartment is cold.

Today since the morning the sky was tightened by clouds, periodically broke small dozhdichek. At heart it was somehow cloudy too.

Also there was a wish to lighten me the mood tasty plums pie.
Also at my place there was a cottage cheese, and I just adore pastries with cottage cheese.
Here found the recipe of plum pie with cottage cheese filling. Decided to bake.
It turned out very tasty therefore I want to share the recipe with you.
And the mood was lightened even during cooking.
When you put in something heart and soul, it turns out automatically.

And here outside the window it is drizzling, cold …
And I have tea in warm kitchen which became permeated with the smell of aroma of cinnamon, I eat wonderful gentle plums pie, and at heart so warmly …
I hope, and this pie will be pleasant to you.



Cottage cheese and plum pie


So, it is required to us:
Shortcake dough
• Wheat flour — 200 g
• Butter — 130 g
• Sugar — 60 g
• Egg — 1 piece.
Plum stuffing
• Plum (weight with a stone) — 350 g
• Cinnamon — 2 tsps.
• Sugar — 50 g
Cottage cheese filling
• Cottage cheese (pastelike) — 400 g
• Egg — 3 pieces.
• Sugar — 100 g
• Starch — 50 g

I will tell at once that I did not weigh plum, just took so much to cover a pie bottom. The Sahara I would put less, and that strongly with pleasure turned out.
And still I had no starch. I even specially behind it went to shop, but also there it was not. Therefore instead of it I filled a little semolina and allowed it to inflate.

First of all it is necessary to make dough. For this purpose to fill flour the hill, to add sugar, to grate cold butter and to grind everything in a crumb.

To create the hill and in deepening to break egg.

To knead dough and to create from it a sphere, to wrap it in food wrap and to remove during cold for 30 minutes.

During this time to wash and divide plum into segments.

To prepare cottage cheese filling: to shake up the blender cottage cheese with eggs and sugar. To add starch and to shake up once again.
To get dough from the refrigerator. To prepare a detachable form with a diameter of 20 cm, to oil it and to powder with a few flour, to lay out dough and to level, forming a bottom and sides.

To lay out on a plum cake layer bottom in one layer. To strew them with sugar and cinnamon.

To fill in from above with cottage cheese filling.

To put in the oven warmed up to 200 degrees.
To bake about 1 hour – 1 hour 10 minutes.
We wait - page.

From above to strew ready pie with icing sugar.

To pie to allow to cool down and only after that to cut on pieces.
Frankly speaking, I could not wait when pie cools down, and cut it still hot.



And a form I took not that, here detachable, of course, is necessary.
But it did not affect taste of pie.
It was pleasant even to my cat who and lasted it to smell aroma of pie.


At heart after such tasty tea drinking became warmer, the autumn melancholy disappeared.
And to you I wish not to be depressed and find more pleasant moments in life!



Enjoy your meal!
