Bird cherry pie is a fairly simple homemade baked product. There are many recipes for this delicacy, but whichever one you follow, the pies invariably turn out to be fragrant and very tasty.
Simple bird cherry pie
You will need:
- ground bird cherry - 1 glass;
- sour cream - 1 glass;
- chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- sugar - 1 glass;
- soda - 1 teaspoon;
- wheat flour - 1, 5-2 cups (depending on the stickiness of the flour).
For the cream:
- sour cream - 500 g;
- sugar - 1 glass.
Pour the ground bird cherry with sour cream, let stand for about two hours. Pound the eggs with sugar and mix gently with the prepared bird cherry. Sift flour with a sieve. This will not only allow you to avoid the appearance of possible flour lumps, but also saturate the flour with oxygen so that the cake turns out to be fluffy and soft when baked.
Add soda to the egg-bird cherry mixture, then gradually, stirring constantly, add the sifted flour. The dough should not turn out too thick, rather fluid, resembling sour cream in consistency.
Pour the resulting dough into a greased pan or margarine and bake in an oven preheated to 180 ° -200 ° C for about 20 minutes, until the cake turns golden brown. Cool the finished cake, cut in half lengthwise and coat with cream of sour cream, whipped with sugar.

You will need:
For the test:
- flour - 1, 2 kg;
- yeast - 50 g;
- butter - 240 g;
- milk - 2 glasses;
- sugar - 200 g;
- chicken eggs - 6 pcs.;
- salt - 1 teaspoon.
For filling:
- dry ground bird cherry - 3 glasses;
- sugar - 300 g;
- water - 250 g.
First, prepare the sponge dough. It is prepared in two stages. Heat 1, 5 cups of milk to 30-35 ° C, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, yeast to it and mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are completely dissolved. Gradually add flour so that the dough (dough) is not thicker than sour cream.
Place the container with the dough in a warm place to rise, covered with a damp cloth. The dough is ready when many bubbles form in it and its volume increases several times. Now you need to prepare the dough directly. To do this, heat the remaining milk, add sugar, eggs and mix everything thoroughly.
Add the risen dough, melted butter and flour, knead to a thick dough. You need to knead the dough well so that it lags well behind the walls. Put the dough in a warm place for an hour and a half, during which time it needs to be kneaded several times.
Roll out the finished dough 1-1.5 cm thick and put on a baking sheet. Prepare the filling: you need to pour the bird cherry with hot water and close it tightly, let it stand for 1, 5-5 hours. Mix the bird cherry with sugar, put on the pie. Bake in the oven at 200o-210oC for 30-35 minutes.
