Cooking steps

1. Sift the flour through a fine sieve, gather it into a mound, make a well in the center, and add sour cream, a raw egg, sugar, softened butter, and vanillin. Knead the dough and place it in a cold place for a while. On a floured board, roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/2 cm and place it on a metal sheet. Place a large plate upside down on top of the dough, cut around it with the tip of a knife, then remove the plate, leaving the dough on the sheet. Combine the cut pieces of dough, roll them out again, and cut into strips 2 cm wide. Arrange these strips along the edge of the circle, greased with egg, pinching them into a crest shape.

   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Sugar: 3 tablespoons
   • Butter: 150 g
   • Vanillin: 0.3 teaspoon

2. After that, brush the pie with egg yolk and place it in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Once the dough is browned, reduce the heat, and after another 5-7 minutes, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on the sheet. Place the sorted strawberries on the cooled circle and pour apple or apricot jam over them. Then transfer the pie from the sheet to a plate, sprinkle the edges with powdered sugar, and serve.
