To make the dough, we will need softened butter. It is advisable to get it out of the refrigerator in advance. Or heat a little in the microwave in defrosting mode. It is advisable to sieve the flour in order to remove lumps, various impurities, as well as saturate it with oxygen. If you have nothing to sift through the flour, then you can slightly beat it with a whisk. Thus, the flour, of course, will not be purified from impurities, but will be saturated with oxygen and lumps can be broken. Combine flour and butter. Add baking powder. If it is not there, then you can add soda slaked with vinegar. And we rub everything well. Add sugar and egg. We mix everything. It should turn out a soft elastic dough. Do not mix it for a long time. We separate about 16 part from the dough. We put it in the freezer. And we send most of the rest to the refrigerator for half an hour. While the dough & amp; laquo; is cooling down & amp; raquo; in the refrigerator, let's do the filling. For filling, we take fresh or frozen berries. We wash them. Let's drain the water. Next, there are several options for preparing the filling. First option. This is to use whole berries sprinkled with sugar. Second option. Grind the berries with sugar using a blender. Third option. Cook the crushed berries with sugar a little. And already use cranberry jam as a filling. I like the second option. So I fill the berries with sugar and grind everything with a blender. After half an hour, we take out the dough from the refrigerator. We roll it out. Put in a tin greased with oil and lightly sprinkled with flour. We form the sides. We lay out the filling, evenly distributing it. We take out a small piece of dough from the freezer and rub it on a grater. Sprinkle the grated dough over the berry filling. The sides can be bent a little inside. Send the cake to the preheated oven and bake the cake at a temperature of 180 degrees 40-45 minutes. Once the pie is ready, let it cool a little and can be served. You can decorate with icing sugar and whole cranberry berries on top. Cook with pleasure!
