Ingredients
Crust:
- 2½ cup / 300g Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 7 tablespoon / 100g Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sweetener of choice
- ¼ cup / 60ml Water or milk
Filling:
- 1 lb / 500g Cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon Honey or sweetener of choice
- 2 Eggs
- Optional: 50g dried fruit
Kitchen equipment:
Ø9½" / Ø25cm Baking tray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- Prepare tray with parchment paper/baking paper or with some butter and flour so it will be easier to cut slices as the dough won't stick to the tray.
- Put flour, baking powder, butter, egg, sweetener and the water or milk into a medium size bowl. Dough them together by hand. If the dough is too dry and flaky, pour a little bit more liquid to the mixture. If it still sticks to the bowl or onto our hands after 5 minutes of kneading then add a bit of more flour to it.
- Divide the dough into two: approximately ⅓ and ⅔ pieces.
- Form the bigger dough into a disk, the size of the tray.
- Put it into the tray pressing the pastry to the sides of the tray.
- Make the filling. Put cottage cheese, eggs, honey, vanilla essence and dried fruit into a medium size mixing bowl and mix them well.
- Pour it on top of the pastry into the tray.
- Roll out the other piece of the pastry and cut it into stripes.
- Place stripes on top of the cottage cheese filling like a lattice.
- Brush top with egg yolk.
- Put it into the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- When it is baked leave it to cool down before serving it.
