Shortcake with jam: sweets from the pantry. Grandmother's secrets of shortcrust pastry pies with jam

Cooking steps

1. Beat soft butter or margarine with sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well each time. Sift the flour with baking powder and add to the egg-butter mixture. Knead the dough. 2. Divide the dough into 2 unequal parts (1/3 and 2/3). Place both parts in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.

Roll out most of the dough and cut out a circle according to the diameter of the mold. Place the dough in a greased pan (I have a silicone pan, I don’t grease it). Trim the edges.

3. Place a layer of jam on top of the dough and carefully smooth it out with a spoon.

4. Form the smaller portion into strips and place on top of the jam. Carefully pinch the edges.

5. Place the shortbread pie with jam in the oven, heated to 200 degrees, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Cool (otherwise the jam or preserves will spread), cut and serve with tea.

Bon appetit!

This article is good if you want something sweet, but don’t have much at home. Jam can always be found in the pantry or in the refrigerator. Therefore, this is a very good option for baking a pie.

Shortbread dough is one of the simplest types of dough. It is not difficult to prepare, and such baked goods are ready, if not in a matter of minutes, then in an hour for sure.

This pie can be made with any jam, from raspberry jam to watermelon jam. The latter, by the way, will be incredibly unusual and very tasty.

In addition to jam, you can add fruits and berries to the pie if desired. They can even be added instead of jam. But today we will tell you several recipes with the addition of jam. As we said, in case there is almost nothing at home, but you really want something sweet.

This type of pie is prepared very quickly and anyone can handle it, because it’s a mix-and-roll-out-and-ready kind of cake. It is perfect for when unexpected guests arrive and you have nothing to treat them with. Or, for example, if friends come to visit your children, and you need to treat the kids with something. For them, this will be the height of confectionery - tasty and sweet. What else is needed for children's happiness?

What you need to know to make shortbread pie

Each dish has its own nuances. Each dish requires its own approach. This also applies to baking. Also, you need to know some secrets that will help you prepare a divine pie.

It is important to use butter with a high percentage of fat content in shortbread dough. Margarine is difficult for the human body to digest, so it is better to add butter if only for this reason. Plus, the fattier the butter, the tastier your pie will be;
We will need flour with a high level of gluten. If the gluten level is low, the dough will be very crumbly;
Eggs, namely the white, are the “gluing” component in this type of dough. Therefore, to make the dough more crumbly, use only yolks;
Add salt to the dough without any other options. Without salt, the dough will turn out unleavened.

What about baking powder and soda? In general, according to the original recipe, neither one nor the other component is included in the dough. But this is a very individual choice.

I remember how long it took me to learn how to make good shortcrust pastry for baking. I had a lot of recipes and I tried most of them, and each time I realized that, of course, it was tasty, but not right. Now I myself didn’t know what I was looking for and what I wanted from the test. But I didn’t stop searching, there was even a moment when I baked cookies and all kinds of pies with jam and preserves almost every day. It seemed to me that just a little more and soon it would be simply scary to step on the scale. But, my search was finally crowned with success, and I found how to prepare shortcrust pastry, the recipe for a pie with jam is simply ideal, and not only with jam. You can bake any pastry from this shortcrust pastry. Moreover, it is suitable for any stove; I have already tried it both in a gas oven and in an electric oven with a convector. And it’s not that it’s anything special; at first glance, it’s a very ordinary shortcrust pastry recipe, but it has an amazingly precise proportion of baking, exactly the way I like it. But we need to add as much flour as the dough takes, so that it is soft and elastic. As for fat, it is best to take butter, but in principle, you can replace it with margarine. And as a result, no matter what you plan to bake, everything turns out perfectly. So for me this is just a universal dough for any occasion. I really enjoy baking with it or making jam. Moreover, I do this in several different ways, the weight depends on my mood and the consistency of the sweets. If my jam is more liquid, then it’s best to freeze one part of the dough, about 1/3 in the freezer, and then grate it on top of the cake with jam, or my aunt likes to pass a piece of dough through a screw meat grinder and put the resulting pieces of dough on jam. But if I take thick jam, or fresh berries and fruits, then I make a lattice out of the dough and it turns out to be a very beautiful and elegant pie. But the easiest way is to roll out the dough on the table and cut it into cookie shapes. sprinkle them with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, almonds or crushed walnut kernels and bake in the oven. Ingredients: - wheat flour - 2-3 cups, - chicken eggs - 2 pcs., - fat (butter, margarine) - 200 g, - granulated sugar - 1 cup, - vanillin - 0.25 tsp, - baking powder - 1 tsp - jam.

Recipe with photos step by step:

To prepare shortbread dough for a pie with jam, heat the butter until it melts and then cool it, because kneading the dough with hot fat is strictly forbidden. I don't melt the butter, I just take it out of the refrigerator ahead of time and it becomes soft.

Mix well. You can add a pinch of salt to enhance the taste. Mix the sifted wheat flour with baking powder and carefully pour it into the liquid base, kneading this way to get our dough.

If necessary, remove it from the bowl and stir it on the table, adding flour as needed.

We divide it into 2 parts (1 part more than the other). The smaller ones go into the freezer.

We form a cake out of most of the dough and spread jam on it.

Now take the second piece of dough out of the freezer and place it on top of the pie. Place the pie in a preheated oven and bake at 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

This is how the dough for a pie with jam is prepared, in fact, like the pie itself. Bon appetit! Try cooking it the same way

Today I propose to prepare “grated” shortbread pie with jam

.
It is called “grated” because part of the dough for the top layer of the pie is grated - simple and delicious. The shortcrust pastry for this pie is as simple as possible and does not require a large amount of ingredients. And for the filling you can use any jam, the main thing is that it is not too liquid. The result is a delicious and aromatic pie, probably familiar to many from childhood. Ingredients:

200 gr. margarine or butter
1 tbsp. sugar - if the jam for the filling is very sweet, you can put less sugar in the dough
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
on the tip of a knife
2.5-3 tbsp. flour
300 gr. or
1 tbsp. l. starch - optional
1/4-1/3 tbsp. tea
sunflower oil

Preparation:

Melt margarine or butter and cool.
Beat eggs with sugar with a fork or whisk.
Pour melted margarine or butter into the eggs, add vanillin, mix.
Add sifted flour (mixed with baking powder) to the resulting mixture little by little, kneading the dough. The dough should be elastic so that it can be gathered into a ball, but not too stiff, so you should not overdo it with flour.
Cut off a third of the dough and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes - 1 hour. Place the remaining dough in a shallow baking dish greased with sunflower oil. Distribute it in shape, pressing lightly with your hands or using a rolling pin. You can pre-roll the dough on the table, but do not add a lot of flour when rolling so that the finished product does not turn out tough.
If you want to make the pie filling thicker, add starch to the jam and stir. Spread the filling onto the dough in an even layer. Fold the edges of the pie inward.
We take the remaining third of the dough out of the freezer and rub it on a coarse grater directly above the pie, trying to ensure that its surface is covered evenly.
Place the shortbread pie with jam in a hot oven and bake at 180º for 25-30 minutes. Take the finished pie out of the oven and lightly pour tea over its surface using a tablespoon, paying special attention to the edges. This will make the cake softer and more tender. Let the pie cool a little.
Then cut the pie into portions and place on a plate. Serve "grated"

In the morning I baked a grated pie, at lunch I wanted to drink tea - and I couldn’t find what to put on the plate. Sadness! However, I console myself with the fact that since the grated “happiness” so quickly disappears into the depths of the stomachs of my household, it means that it actually deserves an excellent rating.

I bake grated pie according to my grandmother's recipe. My mother cooked it the same way. My sister and godmother do the same, and I hope my daughters will bake in due time. I am sure that most housewives with experience know this recipe - they know it and cook it quite often. Nevertheless, I want to remind those who know how and do it once again (what if you haven’t baked it for a long time?), and for those who are just setting off on a grand voyage across the vast ocean of cooking, I’ll tell you what I myself know.

Grated pie with jam

List of products:

Margarine	200 g
Yolk	2 pcs.
Salt	1 pinch
Thick jam	5-6 tbsp. l.
Sugar	180 g
Flour	550-600 g
Soda	1 tsp.

Kitchen appliances and equipment: container for dough, grater, mold.

Cooking sequence

Dough

The margarine should be removed from the refrigerator and softened at room temperature. I like margarine for baking, but regular margarine will work.
Sift the flour into a bowl and mix it with a pinch of salt and sugar.
Place margarine and yolks in flour and extinguish soda over a bowl.
Knead the dough, which does not stick to your hands and is soft. If necessary, add a little flour.

Decoration and baking Option 1

Divide the dough in half and, wrapping it in film, put one part in the freezer for half an hour, and spread the second part with your hands over the greased pan, raising 1-2 cm of the sides.
Make a layer of jam.
We take out the frozen dough, grate it with a coarse grater and sprinkle it over the pie.

Option 2

Divide the dough in half, put each half in a bag or wrap it in film and put it in the freezer for half an hour.
Grease a mold (I have a rectangular 30x20) or a baking sheet and with a large grater, immediately into the mold, rub one part of the dough.
We level it (if you do it on a baking sheet, then pick up the edges) and add jam. You shouldn’t put a lot, excess jam will leak out of the pie when heated. A thin layer is enough. Take thick jam, or even better if it is jam or marmalade.
Rub the remaining dough on top.
Bake the grated pie with jam for about 30 minutes at 180°.
Let the finished grate cool slightly and cut into portioned cakes.

Preparation

Take the butter out of the refrigerator. We are not preparing chopped dough, but regular shortbread dough, so we don’t need frozen butter, we leave it in the kitchen for a while. When it is quite easy to cut with a knife, divide it into 6-10 parts (exclusively for convenience) and place it in the bowl of a food processor.

We measure out the sugar. If you do not have a sweet tooth and prefer discreetly sweet desserts, feel free to reduce the indicated amount.

Break eggs into a bowl, add salt and soda. Please do not neglect salt - it is simply necessary for the ideal and balanced taste of shortcrust pastry: without it, it turns out insipid, flat, uninteresting.

Mix the contents until smooth. No creamy structures or airy-smooth masses are required, you just need to combine the butter with the eggs.

And we start adding flour. I never measure the amount, I always pour it “by eye”. You should have a smooth dough that comes together completely and does not stick to the sides of the processor. If you squeeze it into a fist, your fingers will also remain clean (greasy, but not in the dough). This is two glasses of flour. Not enough, the dough is liquid. Of course, if you bake it, the product most likely will not spread, but this is far from what we need, and not what is required for a grated pie.

Two and a half glasses. Better, much better, but still not the same. The dough is soft, but does not hold its shape; it is almost impossible to form the product we need from it.

Three glasses. Almost perfect, but pay attention to the sides of the bowl - they are a little oily. In principle, you can stop at this stage, however, purely intuitively, I added two more tablespoons of flour.

And now I think that what was needed was achieved. The shortbread dough is ready. Elastic and soft, tender and pleasant.

We divide it into two parts – a little larger and a little smaller. We create with the larger one, while we send the smaller one straight to the freezer.

We roll out the one we are working on into a rectangle. The dimensions of the rectangle should be equal (plus or minus) to the dimensions of the pan in which you will bake the cake.

Carefully transfer the dough layer into the mold. If something breaks somewhere, don’t worry - it’s absolutely not important and not fundamental. By and large, you can skip the rolling step altogether and immediately stretch the dough in the mold with your fingers. It takes a little longer, but you don’t have to wash the rolling pin. Choose your option. So, we transfer it, if necessary, we straighten the edges, and press the torn places.

We are looking for jam, preserves or jam (we make grated pie with jam, remember?). In my opinion, it tastes best with currant jam - it has a pleasant sourness, which “looks” simply amazing when combined with shortcrust pastry. This time I had apricot jam with rosemary - bright in taste, with a pleasant pine aftertaste, barely sour, but very aromatic. If the jam you find is runny, I recommend mixing it with a tablespoon of starch or flour. Or - boil it down to a “thick drop” that does not spread.

I deliberately did not write the amount of jam - focus on your shape, the thickness of the jam, its fluidity. Usually 4-5 tablespoons are required, no more - the jam will flow. Of course, you can pour out half a jar from your heart (after all, we’re trying for ourselves, why be greedy?), but in everything, moderation is required: excess jam will leak out, fry, and burn.

Spread the jam evenly over the surface of the dough.

We take the second “ball” out of the freezer and begin to grate it on a coarse grater. This process is not the easiest, inconvenient and unpleasant. If you place a grater on a board, the dough will fall into one place and inevitably stick together, so you need to keep it suspended. You can use the services of a meat grinder, but the “worms” that come out of it must be immediately caught and assigned to a permanent place of residence.

The dough you rub should be spread evenly over the pie.

Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until nicely golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Remove the finished grated pie from the oven and leave it alone for 3-5 minutes, after which you must cut it with a sharp knife. After cooling, you can only break it into pieces, so don’t forget about this point.

When the pie has cooled completely, transfer it to a dish and invite everyone to drink tea. However, I’m sure that the latter is superfluous: by this moment, the household members will already be sitting at the table and starting to nervously bang their spoons.

Cooking process:

To prepare shortcrust pastry, sift the flour into a deep bowl. Add granulated sugar and baking powder, salt. Mix dry ingredients until smooth.

Grate the cold butter on a coarse grater. Add the yolk of one egg and start kneading the dough with your hands. You need to act quickly so that the oil does not have time to heat up from the heat of your hands. Mix dry ingredients with oil and egg. The dough will be sandy and loose. Add a few tablespoons of cold water for viscosity.

The dough should come together into a ball. At first, you may think that the dough lacks moisture. The dough will literally be sandy and crumble slightly.

Gather the dough into a ball. Place in a bag and refrigerate for 1 hour. During this time, the butter will harden again and the dough will become more elastic.

After a while, divide the dough into two parts (70% and 30%). Roll out most of the dough into a layer and place it in the mold. If the baking pan is not silicone, then it is better to cover it with baking parchment. This will make it easier for the cake to come out of the pan.

Prick the dough with a fork so that the sand base does not swell during baking. Spread the jam evenly.

Use a coarse grater to grate the rest of the dough. Distribute the dough crumbs evenly on the jam layer. There is no need to compact the dough. I used the extra dough to make a decoration. You can make your own kind of cake decorations. Everything is your choice.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake the pie in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. The degree of baking of baked goods can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Remove from the mold and serve.

This is such a golden brown and beautiful grated pie. I recommend trying to make this homemade pie at home. I think the result will please and surprise you. Such beauty is obtained from such simple products.

I wish you good results. Try it.

Photo recipe for grated pie from Varvara Sergeevna especially for the site good recipes.

Options are possible!

If you think that grated pie might get boring, I hasten to disappoint you: there are so many ways to vary the standard grated pie recipe that you could make it every other day for a year and not be disappointed!

Fillings in grated pie recipes

The easiest way is to experiment with the filling. In addition to preserves, jam, marmalade and confiture, you can use: - cottage cheese, curd masses and various pastes based on it; - poppy; - nuts; - various dried fruits (raisins, prunes, dates, dried apricots); - fresh berries (cherries, sweet cherries, currants, blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries); - condensed milk; - chocolate; - coconut flakes; - meringue; - twisted lemon mixed with sugar; - fresh apple, cut into small pieces or grated on a coarse grater.

Experiments with dough

You can also experiment with the dough. It’s great to add chopped nuts to the part that “goes” on top of the pie (grated crumbs). Works great with a little oat flakes - they add incredible crunch. In addition to the fact that the pie is sprinkled with grated dough, you can prepare the streusel separately - it will be extremely tasty, elegant and even festive.
