Sweet Cheese Pies
One bite and you'll be transported to heaven!
Our pies are made with a deliciously flaky crust and filled with a creamy, rich cheese filling.
Directions
Steps
|
Combine the cottage/ricotta cheese, milk, oil and salt in a small bowl. Sift the flour, corn starch, baking powder and guar gum in a large bowl, gradually adding the cheese mixture and mixing with a wooden spoon. Add another 50 ml of oil and milk, if necessary.
|
|
Tip the mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes to a smooth and pliable dough. Shape the dough into a ball that you need to transfer back into the bowl and cover with cling film. Leave in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
|
|
In a different bowl, whisk the cottage/ricotta cheese, sugar, egg, corn starch and lemon peel. Add more corn starch if you think that the mixture is too liquid, as it should be quite thick and silky.
|
|
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Divide the dough into 4 equal sizes and roll it out to a 2mm thick squareshaped sheet. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into 4 squares. Pour a tablespoon of the mixture onto each square, adding raisins or dried fruits.
|
|
Grab the top left corner of the square and bring it over the bottom right one. Press down the edges with a fork in order to seal the pies. Brush the pies with an egg yolk and bake for 15 minutes.
