How do you make a delicious strawberry pie in the oven? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Start cooking with the dough. Take the top grade flour. Sour cream with a fat content of 15% or higher. Butter should be room temperature, so take it out of the fridge beforehand.

Combine the soft butter with the sugar and whisk with a mixer until fluffy.

Add the sour cream and whisk again.

Pour in the flour sifted with baking powder and knead the soft, pliable, elastic dough. Depending on the humidity of the sour cream and the quality of the flour itself, the flour may need more or less.

Then you can roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. While the dough is pliable, I distribute it over the bottom and sides of a detachable baking mold (Ø 18-22 cm, I have 20 cm). The smaller the diameter of the mold, the higher the dough sides should be. After that, put the dough tin in the fridge.

Now prepare the sour cream fill. It is better to take sour cream fatter, from 20% and higher. Eggs can be of any size, I have large ones. Sugar can be adjusted to suit your taste. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can add a pinch of vanillin or a few drops of vanilla flavour.

In a bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs, flour, sugar and vanilla sugar.

Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until homogeneous. The mixture should be half-empty, but fluid. If you want the berries to stay on the surface of the pie, like mine, the filling should be thicker. This is possible if sour cream is fatty. You can reduce the sugar to your taste. First, pour in half the sugar, then try the pour to taste and, if necessary, add more.

Now prepare the filling. Strawberries can be used fresh or frozen depending on the season. Remove the tails from fresh strawberries, rinse the berries and dry. Defrost the frozen berries slightly and drain the released juice.

Pour the sour cream mixture onto the chilled dough. If you wish, you can put several berries on the bottom of the pie before pouring the sour cream mixture.

Spread the prepared strawberries on top. If you wish, you can form the pie differently: cut the strawberries into slices, put on the dough and pour the sour cream mixture over the top.

Bake the cake for about 40-50 minutes at 180 ° C until the sour cream filling has taken hold.

Remove the finished cake from the oven and cool completely without taking it out of the tin. The sour cream filling should be compacted. Where there are many berries, sour cream can remain moist and not as dense. This is especially true of the center. This is permissible, because juice from berries does not give sour cream a proper grip. Chilled pie cut into pieces and serve. Enjoy your meal!
