Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Shortcrust Pastry

Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. In a large bowl, combine *150 grams (5.5 ounces) of butter* and *300 grams (10.5 ounces) of flour* until you get a crumbly texture.

Add *1 egg*, *100 grams (3.5 ounces) of powdered sugar*, *7 grams (0.25 ounce) of baking powder*, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything until it forms a dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In another bowl, combine *150 grams (5.5 ounces) of sour cream*, *150 grams (5.5 ounces) of yogurt*, and *75 grams (2.5 ounces) of sugar*. Mix until smooth.

Add *2 eggs*, *2 tablespoons of flour*, and vanilla extract to taste. Mix well until the filling is well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake

Roll out the chilled dough and press it into the base and sides of a pie tin. Pour the filling mixture over the crust.

Bake in the preheated oven at *180°C (350°F)* for *30-35 minutes* or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool before serving.

Equipment

Mixing Bowls

Use a set of various sizes for efficient preparation of both the dough and the filling. Stainless steel or glass bowls are ideal.

We recommend:
Electric Mixer or Whisk

An electric mixer can save time, but a hand whisk works well if you prefer a bit more control.

We recommend:
Baking Tin

Opt for a non-stick baking tin with a removable bottom for easy pie release.

Variations

Whether you need to cater to gluten-free or vegan diets, we've got you covered: **Gluten-Free Variation** 🌾: - Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour mix. - Ensure the baking powder used is gluten-free. **Vegan Variation** 🌱: - Substitute the butter with a vegan butter or margarine. - Use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) instead of the egg in the dough. - For the filling, use a plant-based yogurt and vegan sour cream or simply extra plant-based yogurt. - Replace the eggs in the filling mix with either a commercial egg replacer or a homemade version using mashed bananas or applesauce.

Faq

  • Why is my shortcrust pastry turning out tough?

    Over-mixing the dough or adding too much flour can make your pastry tough. Be sure to mix just until combined and not over-handle the dough.

  • Can I use a different type of yogurt for the filling?

    Yes, you can use any type of yogurt, but keep in mind that flavored yogurts will change the taste of the filling.

  • How do I prevent the pie from sticking to the baking tin?

    Use a non-stick baking tin, or line your tin with parchment paper. Additionally, lightly greasing the tin can help.

  • Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.

  • How can I ensure the filling sets properly?

    Make sure to bake the pie for the recommended time and check for a slight jiggle in the center. Letting it cool completely helps the filling set.

  • What's the best way to store leftover pie?

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
