Fragrant pumpkin pie

Pumpkin is a versatile ingredient, combining delicious flavor with a low cost. This pie is one of the most budget-friendly options. However, the photos show many authentic English pumpkin pies, all of which look quite delicious. Recipes like these also require no milk, eggs, or butter, making them suitable for vegetarians and Christians who fast.

Pumpkin pie

Ingredients:

  • 400 grams of pumpkin (pulp, peeled and seeded);
  • One and a half cups of flour (wheat);
  • A glass of brown sugar;
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar;
  • 0.5 cups flaxseed flour;
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder or soda;
  • Salt on the tip of a spoon;
  • 1 cinnamon stick;
  • 0.25 cups of sunflower or olive oil.

Recipes like these are simple. First, puree the pumpkin using any method available. Then combine the mixture with sugar, vegetable oil, and salt and stir.

Add baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Grind the cinnamon stick with the back of a knife or in a coffee grinder. Add the cinnamon and flaxseed meal to the dough. Mix the resulting mixture until smooth.

Sifted wheat flour is also added. While kneading the dough, it's important to pay attention to the consistency. The mixture shouldn't be too thick, but rather resemble pancake batter.

The dough is poured into a greased baking pan and placed in the oven for thirty to forty-five minutes.

Looking at the photo, it's hard to believe this pie doesn't contain eggs: it's golden brown, fluffy, and has a sponge-like texture. However, the eggs are replaced with apple cider vinegar and flaxseed meal. These ingredients give the pie its spongy texture and fluffiness.

Quick pie with cottage cheese and strawberries

Cottage cheese and strawberry pie

Cottage cheese and strawberries are a classic combination, and these quick pies are not only delicious but also healthy, thanks to the high protein content of cottage cheese. By exploring the photos, you can find pies with different fruit combinations, and since recipes vary, you can find a mix to suit your taste. The version below is easy for any home cook and works well with both fresh and frozen strawberries.

The filling is made with a delicate strawberry puree. To prevent the pie from being too dry, we add a little kefir, which we use instead of water.

To mix the pie dough, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 150 grams of high-fat sour cream;
  • 500 grams of cottage cheese (low-fat is fine);
  • 2 whole eggs;
  • 1 glass of kefir;
  • 1 cup flour (wheat);
  • 1 teaspoon of soda;
  • Salt on the tip of a spoon.

First, mix the sour cream and eggs until smooth. Add salt and baking soda. Finely grated cottage cheese is carefully folded in. When the mixture resembles pancake batter, gradually stir in the sifted flour. The batter should be thick, but not too dry. If you need to thin the contents of the bowl, use kefir instead of water.

Recipes for "quick" pastry don't offer much variety, but the filling can be customized to suit your preferences and tastes. Strawberries are mashed with a fork until pureed and combined with sugar, honey, and any other flavorings you like (vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom).

If you want a more varied filling, mix strawberries with the same banana puree. This dessert is even suitable for children.

Now it's time to bake. Spread half the dough in an even layer on a well-greased baking pan. Add the filling and pour the remaining dough over it. Recipes vary depending on the filling, but in this case, baking for half an hour is sufficient.

The photo shows several original serving options. Even the simplest and quickest pie can look like a true work of art.
