Ingredients
For the filling you need:
- berries;
- starch - one tablespoon;
- a glass of sugar;
- sour cream - about 400 grams;
- one egg.
Regardless of which berries are used, they need to take about 1 cup. Of course, you can do more, it depends on the fruits and tastes of the hostess. If the berries are small, such as currants or lingonberries, you can take more than a glass.
The fruits need to be washed, remove all unnecessary - ponytails or leaflets, and lay on a paper towel in one layer so that they dry out.
For the test you need to take: a couple of eggs, half a glass of sugar, a packet of butter, one and a half glasses of flour.
Sour cream filling berry pie recipe
The first step is to knead the dough. Previously, the oil should be removed from the refrigerator and put in heat for 20-30 minutes. This is necessary so that it melts and becomes soft. In a large bowl, to make it convenient, you need to grind the butter and flour until small crumbs are formed.
Add eggs to the mixture and grind again properly. After a homogeneous mass is formed, sugar can be added. Now you should knead the dough. Since sugar is added last in this recipe, you need to patiently and for a long time knead the mass. Then put the dough in the refrigerator. It is not necessary to pinpoint the exact time that it must be defended. You can just do the stuffing for now.
The berries have already dried out by this time. They can already be put in a bowl and sprinkled with starch with two or three tablespoons of sugar. Mix everything carefully and gently. Make sure that each berry is shrouded in sugar, but at the same time it is important not to crush or crush the fruits. This is another reason why the recipe for berry pie with sour cream filling can not be classified as simple. It requires some skill.
To prepare the pouring, place sour cream in a separate bowl, add five tablespoons of sugar and an egg. You can put less sweet ingredient, it all depends on the tastes of each family. Beat well, it is better to use a mixer or blender. Sugar should be completely dissolved. The filling is ready.
Pie assembly
The best part is to combine all the components of the dessert. The dough can already be taken out of the refrigerator, rolled out with a diameter slightly larger than the shape, by about 5-7 centimeters. Then you should carefully shift it into shape.
For those who do not like to roll out, there is another way - to put the mass directly on a baking sheet and distribute it with your hands. It is recommended to pierce the dough over the entire surface with a fork, so it will bake better and will be more magnificent.
Gently spread the berries on top. You need to try not to crush them, otherwise in the baking process the juice will leak onto the dough, and the filling will turn out to be too liquid. Distribute the filling evenly throughout the mold. Pour sour cream filling on top. It should cover the berries with an even layer, not accumulate in the middle or along the edges.
Features of baking and serving
The oven must be preheated to 180-190 degrees. Put a pie in it and bake for at least 30-40 minutes. Leave the finished dessert in shape for a while, let it cool. If you try to pull a berry pie with sour cream filling out of the mold hot, then the filling may leak. After all, only when it cools well will it cease to be too fluid.
Then the cake should be refrigerated. So the filling will finally cool down, and it will be more convenient to cut the dessert into slices. Put on a beautiful dish. Berry pie can be decorated with mint leaves. This aromatic herb goes well with almost any fruit.
Berry pie with sour cream filling in a slow cooker
The recipe can be used the same. Calculation of ingredients is made for the same number of servings. In this case, it is more convenient not to roll out the dough, but immediately put it in the form for a multicooker and distribute it by hand. Then lay out the berries and pour sour cream.
There is an opinion that due to the low temperature of heating the multicooker, you must first bake the dough, and then add the filling and bake again. This is not true. Pre-baking the dough does not follow, since a crust will appear on it, both from the outside and from the inside. When adding berries, the crust will not allow the dough to be saturated with juice and sour cream. The taste of the dessert will be far from expectations.
Process
You need to cook the pie in the “Baking” mode for 65 minutes. If necessary, you can add more time, but no more than 30 minutes. The cake should not burn, but there is a chance of it overdrying.
After a signal of completion of cooking, do not open the lid, let the treat cool completely. This is necessary so that when turning it over, it does not deform and, of course, so that the filling does not leak out. Berry pie with sour cream filling is a very delicious dessert. But in order to cook it, you need to show skill. Enjoy your meal!
