Tricks and secrets of making yogurt pies with cherries
Before starting to prepare the dough, kefir is better to warm up a little, then it will be better to react with soda. It is best to warm in the microwave, adding half a minute and checking that the liquid is only slightly warm. Before heating, you can pour sugar into kefir, it will dissolve faster.
Kefir can be replaced with yogurt, fermented baked milk, jam, yogurt.
If the eggs, or rather whites, beat sugar well, the cake will be very lush. If you simply mix, the biscuit will come out lower.
It is advisable to sift the flour before cooking - the cake will be more magnificent.
If there is no special device for cleaning cherries, a pin, a toothpick will do.
Fresh cherries can be sprinkled with starch or flour before being placed in the pie - then the juice will not leak out and soak the dough.
Cherry pies are good both warm and cold. However, it should be noted that the hotter the pastries, the more acidic it will appear due to the cherry filling. When cooling, the cake becomes more sweet.
