Pies with jam as an ornament of any festive table

Pies with jam, being an unusual meal, have been prepared in Russia for a very long time. Pies as an independent dish of Russian cuisine have reached our time, not succumbing to foreign influence.

The word "pie", derived from the word "feast," indicates that in ancient times without pies, no festive feast could be treated. And at that time, this dish was prepared only for a celebration or a holiday.

Pies with jam, for example, were an independent dish, and many types of unsweetened pies were served as a snack for various main dishes, such as ears, soup and rassolnik.

Nowadays, for the preparation of pies, mainly wheat flour is used, and originally the pies were made mainly from rye flour, to which later a little wheat flour of a lower grade was added, and in time wheat flour of the highest grade. It was such a mixture of different varieties of flour that gave pies a special, unique taste.

The invariable popularity of pies was influenced not only by high taste qualities, but also by their nutritional value. Pies all love. Whether it's sweet pies for tea or pies as a snack for anything, or pies as an independent dish.

We suggest trying a fairly simple and relatively quick way to prepare pies with jam. To do this, you will need to prepare a mixture of two glasses of flour, one glass of sugar and strong brew. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable refined oil, a teaspoon of hydrated soda vinegar and a half teaspoon of salt.

All must be thoroughly mixed until homogeneous. Bake at a temperature of not more than 220 degrees in oiled or margarine form.

Ready cake cut into cakes, which smeared with any jam.

A lot of popular pies with rice and eggs. For their preparation, 500 ml of cow's milk, 4 chicken eggs, 600 grams of flour and 300 grams of rice are required. And also sunflower (20 ml) and cream (50 grams) oil, 15 grams of yeast, 65 grams of sugar and 15 grams of salt.

Rub hands with yeast with flour until a homogeneous crumb is formed. Pour, stirring, warm milk, vegetable oil with yolks. Add butter (pre-melted), salt and sugar. Mix everything thoroughly (at first with a mixer, then with hands).

Place the dough in a high pan and leave for 3 hours, covered with two kitchen towels. Put the dough on a table covered with a thin layer of flour, separate the pieces and shape the cakes.

For the filling, mix the rice cooked in advance with the boiled eggs, cut into cubes.

Wrap the stuffing in flat cakes and form the patties. Put them on a baking sheet, sprinkled with flour a little, and then top the pies with a beaten egg. Bake at 180 degrees in the oven.

As a dessert for tea, you can bake not only pies with jam, but many others. For example, berry pies.

For their preparation, take 500 grams of flour, 160 grams of margarine, 4 yolks, half a glass of milk and 30 grams of yeast. Also two tablespoons of sugar, half a glass of fatty sour cream, to the taste of vanillin and 500 grams of berries. From these ingredients, you can prepare very tasty, fragrant and at the same time quite beautiful and unusual open pies with berries that will decorate your dining table.

So, add the margarine with flour, adding yeast, diluted in advance in warm milk, and yolks with vanillin and sugar. Knead on the sour cream lavish dough. Roll out the cake, put it on parchment and oil with protein. Over lay out the berries and put the cake in some warm place for an hour. Bake 45 minutes in the oven at a temperature of about 220 degrees. Sprinkle the baked finished cake with powdered sugar.
