Equipment
Various sizes are ideal, so you have enough bowl space for both dough and filling preparations.

Variations
Gluten-Free Variation:
- Replace the wheat flour with the same quantity of gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it contains a binding agent like xanthan gum for the best results.
Vegan Variation:
- Swap cottage cheese and sour cream with equivalent vegan versions. Opt for silken tofu or coconut yogurt for a creamy texture.
- Use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) as an egg replacement.
These tweaks ensure everyone can enjoy this delightful pastry! 🌱
Faq
- What can I use if I don’t have a sieve?
If you don’t have a sieve, you can use a fine-mesh strainer to sift the flour and baking powder.
- Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
- How do I prevent the pastry from sticking to the baking form?
Greasing the form thoroughly or using parchment paper helps in preventing sticking.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Yes! The dough can be prepared a day ahead and kept in the fridge. Allow it to come to room temperature before assembling.
- How can I make the filling thicker?
Adding a bit more cornstarch or using a thicker variety of sour cream can help achieve a thicker filling consistency.
- Can I add other flavors to the filling?
Feel free to get creative! Lemon zest, almond extract, or a splash of liquor can add fantastic depth to the filling.
