Snail pie with cherries is made from unsweetened dough without adding eggs. The sweetness of the baked goods comes from filling and dusting with powdered sugar. It is advisable to “free” cherries (fresh or frozen) from juice as much as possible. Leave it in the strainer for an hour and a half to drain.
Prepare the basic ingredients for making snails.
Sift the flour into a bowl, combine with baking powder and salt. Stir. Add soft butter, grind flour and butter into crumbs.
Remove pits from fresh cherries and defrost frozen ones.
Pour kefir into the dough and knead into a soft dough. If necessary, you can add a little more flour.
Roll out the dough into a layer 3 mm thick. Cut into strips 7-8 cm wide and 20 cm long.
Place sugar and cherries on the strips.
Pinch each strip tightly, including the ends.
Place all the “strips” in a spiral, starting from the edge, in a greased pan.
In a round mold with a diameter of 20 cm, 4 “strips” are placed along the bottom. There is enough dough and filling for about 7 “strips”.
Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake the snail pie with cherries at 180 degrees for about half an hour, taking into account the characteristics of the oven.
