Gingerbread with jam

25 minutes

Kovrizhka with jam is a fragrant and tender pastry from the depths of Russian cuisine. This simple yet surprisingly delicious pie was traditionally made in homes during the autumn-winter period when warm and comforting treats were desired. The dough made from flour, sugar, and jam gains a rich flavor thanks to the addition of tea and spices, filling the home with a cozy aroma. Baking at high temperatures makes the kovrizhka airy, while powdered sugar adds softness and tenderness. This dessert is perfect for tea and can be served both on weekdays and at festive tables, adding a touch of home warmth and tradition.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour: 7 tbsp
• Sugar: 5 tbsp
• Tea: 1 glass
• Jam: 3 tbsp
• Sunflower oil: 3 tbsp
• Spices: to taste
• Slaked soda: 1 tsp

Cooking steps

1. Mix all the ingredients — the mixture should be liquid. Pour into a mold (or a deep baking tray) greased with vegetable oil and flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 7 tablespoons
   • Sugar: 5 tablespoon
   • Tea: 1 glass
   • Jam: 3 tablespoons
   • Sunflower oil: 3 tablespoons
   • Spices:  to taste
   • Slaked soda: 1 teaspoon

2. Bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes (you can use a toothpick or match to check readiness — when the pie is fully cooked, the dough won't stick to the stick). Remove from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. The cake turns out very juicy!
