Preparation

Step 1

Grease the baking pan with a special mixture or butter and sprinkle flour on top.

This way, removing the finished pie will be quite easy, and the charlotte itself will remain whole and smooth.

Step 2

Sift the flour, then add soda, salt and baking powder.

Step 3

Add regular sugar and vanilla sugar to the softened butter. Beat with a mixer at high speed for about 3 minutes. The mixture should become lighter in color.

Step 4

Add eggs one by one to the same mixture and mix the mixture thoroughly after each one.

Please note

The eggs must be at room temperature, because if they come from the refrigerator, our pie may lose its fluffiness.

Step 5

Add cottage cheese to the mixture and mix thoroughly until smooth.

If you are using regular cottage cheese rather than pasty cottage cheese, you should first rub it through a sieve.

Step 6

Add flour in two stages with the remaining dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the dough is thick.

Step 7

Add the chopped pears to the finished dough and mix. The firmer the pear, the smaller the pieces should be.

Step 8

Place the dough into a pre-prepared pan and smooth it out.

Step 9

Place the pan in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

Then we take out the finished pie, immediately remove it from the pan and let it cool at room temperature.

Step 10

Sprinkle the finished pie with powdered sugar and decorate to your taste.
