Today I want to invite you to prepare a variation of grated cherry pie according to my great-grandfather’s favorite recipe. A distinctive feature of this pie is the protein soufflé, which gives it a unique charm. My grandmother passed on the recipe for this pie to my mother, and my mother, in turn, passed it on to me. Previously, this pie was prepared only on holidays, so all the cooking processes were done by hand and took a lot of time. But since our kitchen assistants will come to our aid today, preparing a delicious Polish pie with cherries and protein soufflé will not take much time.
Pie ingredients:
- Margarine 250 g
- Eggs 4 pcs.
- Sugar 4 tbsp + 1 bottle
- Flour 3 cups
- Potato starch 2 tbsp.
- Soda 1 tsp.
- Vinegar
- Cherries (you can use fresh, frozen or canned)
Recipe for grated cherry pie (Polish):
1. First, separate the yolks from the whites. We use only yolks in the dough.
2. Add yolks, 4 tablespoons of sugar, slaked soda with vinegar and flour to margarine at room temperature. Knead the shortbread dough until a dense lump forms.
3. Separate a small piece from the dough, wrap it in cling film and put it in the freezer. Let's put the main part of the dough in the refrigerator for now.
4. Let's start preparing the highlight of our pie - protein soufflé. Beat the whites to sharp peaks, add 1 cup of sugar in several stages. Beat the whites until the sugar is completely dissolved. In order for the whites to beat well, the mixer container and beaters must be completely dry and clean. Before beating, add a pinch of salt or a few drops of lemon juice to the whites. Add starch to the whites and mix gently.
5. Next, roll out our dough on a pre-floured surface and place it in a springform baking pan. We form the sides. The dough will crumble and hold poorly, but thanks to this we will get a crumbly pie that melts in your mouth. It is best to use a mold with a diameter of about 30 cm. In this form, the layer of proteins will be thinner and they will settle less when the pie cools.
7. Take the rest of the dough out of the freezer and grate it on a coarse grater. Distribute the grated dough over the surface of the pie and sprinkle with a little sugar.
Hello, friends! When the birds are singing outside the window and juicy cherries are ripening in the garden, it’s hard not to resist and treat yourself to a delicious pie. Among all the famous grandmother's recipes for pies, one of the simplest and most delicious can rightfully be called grated cherry pie. So...

Mix all the ingredients, add soda, slaked with vinegar, and a little flour. Gently begin to knead the dough, adding flour and rubbing the butter with your hands. To prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers, wet your hands with water.
Attention! If you don't have sour cream on hand, you can put mayonnaise in the dough. The taste of the cherry pie will not change.
Divide the finished dough into two unequal parts. Wrap the smaller piece in film and put it in the freezer, and the larger part in the refrigerator. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preparing the cherry filling
For the pie filling, choose only ripe and juicy cherries. Wash the prepared cherries well with water and remove all the seeds. Then squeeze juice from cherries, otherwise during baking it will leak onto the baking sheet and burn.
Advice! If you don't have cherries, you can use berries (such as black currants), cherry or... for the filling.

I have half cherries with cherries, because the latter was spoiling and I needed to use it urgently. Pick out the pits from the cherries. I always do this with a pin, taking out the bone from the side of the leg.
Next we make the dough for our future grated cherry pie. The butter should be softened (not melted!).
In a bowl put butter, powdered sugar, a couple of drops of vanilla essence (or something vanilla), salt, eggs. And I turn everything into a homogeneous mass.
Sift the flour and baking powder and add to the bowl to the butter-egg mixture. Continue mixing with the mixer for another 10-15 seconds until crumbs form. That's it, stop.
Now quickly form everything into a ball with your hands, and then divide the resulting dough into two unequal parts. I always make one a little more than the other. One part is 2\3, and the second, respectively, is 1\3.
Now wrap both balls in film or put them in bags and put them in the freezer for an hour so that the dough hardens a little.
Set the oven to heat up, 180". I always cover the pan with baking paper.
Drain the juice from the cherries (if any) and carefully mix with cinnamon and powdered sugar. For more flavor, you can add, for example, lemon or orange zest. Sprinkle the berries with starch.
Take out most of the dough and grate it on a large beet grater over the entire surface of the mold. Spread cherries over top.
Then we take out the second, smaller half of the dough and three on top.
Place the pie in the already preheated oven. It is important! Otherwise, the butter will simply melt and flow out, and because of this, the cake will become harder than it should be.
So. Oven 180" - and bake for about 40-50 minutes. Depends on the oven. I baked for 40 minutes in my electric one.
Let the grated cherry pie cool and enjoy!
Cherry shortbread pie is a real summer treat for all ages. We offer several options for its preparation.
For shortbread dough:

- flour - 3 cups;
- baking powder - portion sachet.
Pie filling and decoration:
- cherry - 2 cups;
- sugar - 2 table. l.;

Shortbread dough is very easy to prepare: you just need to mix all the ingredients by hand so that you get a dense porous circle. We divide it into two parts, one should be smaller. We put the smaller part in the freezer for a quarter of an hour - this will be enough for it to harden and be easily rubbed in the future.
Place the larger part of the dough into a mold sprinkled with breading, flour or covered with parchment.
Wash the cherries well and remove the pits from the berries. Place them on the base in the mold, sprinkle with sugar and spread with frozen dough. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 200 degrees. oven for half an hour. Before serving, sprinkle with powder.
On a note. To prepare shortcrust pastry, butter is always used. In any recipe, it can be replaced with a budget option - margarine.

First of all, prepare the dough: cut the butter into cubes, sprinkle flour and baking powder on top, add sugar. Rub it thoroughly by hand. At the end, add the yolks and knead the dough again. Knead and roll into a uniform, smooth ball. Separate a third of the dough and leave to cool for 40 minutes. Roll out the rest of the dough and place it in a mold lined with parchment. We make small sides around the edges. We bake the base for about twenty minutes at 180 degrees. Let him cool down.
While the base cools, beat the whites into a stable foam in a convenient way - with a mixer or a whisk. When the foam becomes very dense, not runny, add both types of sugar little by little, without stopping whipping. Pour in the oil in a thin stream, while reducing the whipping speed. A minute or two is enough for the oil to mix well with the protein mass.
Spread the finished meringue over the baked base, distributing it evenly over the entire surface.
Wash the cherries, leave them in a colander for a few minutes, remove the pits and spread them evenly over the surface of the meringue. If frozen berries are used, they do not need to be completely thawed. Spread the chilled dough on top of the entire filling. We bake at 180 degrees. within 35-40 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
