If you have prepared for this winter such a wonderful berries as cranberries, then you can not only prepare vitamin refreshing fruit drinks, but also bake small delicious pies. Who will refuse such wonderful baking if you serve it with fresh tea?
The stuffing for pies is best made from cranberries melted or grated with sugar (with these processing methods more useful substances are stored). You can make a filling for pies with cranberries and fresh apples. Let's cut them finely right before stitching the patties so that apples do not have time to darken.
Pies with cowberries can be made from a simple, simple yeast or puff pastry .
Recipe for pies with cranberries from yeast dough
Ingredients:
- wheat flour high-grade - about 4-5 cups;
- yeast dry - 2 tsp (or 25 g fresh);
- granulated sugar - 2-3 tbsp. spoons;
- milk natural medium fat content - 200 ml;
- Chicken egg - 1-2 pcs .;
- butter, natural - 100 g;
- salt - 0,5 tsp.
- cranberries canned - as much as needed.
Preparation
First opara. Lightly heat the milk in the saucepan and melt the butter and sugar in it, but do not bring it to the boil. Milk should be a temperature of not more than 40 degrees. We put yeast, add 2 tbsp. spoons of flour, stir and place in a warm place for about 20 minutes. When the opara has approached (it will almost double in volume), we pour it into a bowl and sift the flour. We knead the dough, roll it in a com, cover it with a towel and put it in the heat for 2 hours. During this time, we knead it a couple of times and mix it with our hands.
When the dough is good, roll it into sheets about 0.5 cm thick, cut out the circles with a glass and make small patties with cowberry stuffing. If we make roast pies with cranberries - we need to tear the edges so that the filling does not leak into the pan, and if the oven, you can leave the hole in the middle.
Well, if you want to fry - take out a frying pan and - forward, fry until a beautiful brownish-golden hue.
But baked is more useful than fried, so we put pies on a greased baking sheet (you can spread it with oiled baking paper), give pies 15 minutes, then grease with beaten egg and send it to a Russian oven or a preheated oven. Bake cakes at medium temperature for 25 minutes. Readiness is determined by the color of the test. Finished pies with a brush brush the butter.
Puff cakes with cranberries are made from puff pastry. The process, in fact, preparing pies looks almost the same. Puff pastry can be bought ready-made in supermarkets, home kitchens and public catering establishments. It is better, of course, to cook it yourself, to be sure that it does not contain unhealthy margarine.

- butter - 100 g;
- sugar-sand - 1h. a spoon;
- salt - 1/4 tsp.
Preparation
On the working surface, we sift the flour into the hill and make a depression. In cold water, we dissolve sugar, salt and stir properly. Heat the oil. Pour the melted butter (until boiling it is not possible, of course) and water in the groove in the hill of flour. Knead the dough. We carefully mix it.
The dough is placed in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours (or overnight). Before styling patties with cranberries divide the dough into 4 parts and roll out layers about 0.5 cm thick, lubricate with oil and stack the sheets on each other, roll out and repeat the cycle 2-5 times more. After the interlayering, it is possible to start cutting and making pies. We put the patties on a greased baking tray and bake in a heated oven at an average temperature for about 25 minutes. We determine visibility visually by the shade and by the smell. Ready pies can be smeared with butter.
Note: small patties are cunning, here they lie on a platter, and you drink tea with them, and it seems that you ate very little, but in fact ...
