The word pie in the cuisine of our country comes from the same root word “feast”. That is, baked goods were prepared, as a rule, for a celebration or for the arrival of guests. But it is worth distinguishing between festive and ordinary pies.

Ceremonial baked goods include products made from sweet dough with the addition of berries or fruits. As a rule, these pies are prepared for the tea ceremony. Ordinary pies are made with meat and cabbage filling to feed a large family.

Pies with berries and fruits are considered a dessert dish. They were baked as a replacement for cakes, for which the population did not have the money.

Now we bake pies for fun, to please our loved ones.

Berry Pie Ingredients:

• chicken eggs – 3 pcs.;
• berries – 100 g;
• salt – a pinch;
• baking powder – tsp;
• sugar – 12 tbsp. l.;
• flour – 12 tbsp. l.;
• vegetable oil – 12 s. l.;
• milk – 12 tbsp. l.

Preparing the berry pie:

Combine eggs, salt and granulated sugar in a container, mix the products a little. Add vegetable oil and milk to the sugar egg mixture and continue stirring until the ingredients are combined.

We integrate baking powder into the flour, sift the bulk products into the egg mass. Knead the dough, not particularly liquid, but not thick either.

Pour the dough into a mold with a diameter of no more than 20 cm. Fill the dough with berries, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Bake the berry pie for 40 minutes, let cool for about 10 minutes.

The cake can be sprinkled with powdered sugar and served for the tea ceremony. You can use any available berries for baking.
