Lingonberry goes Christmas

I'm a Christmas person. I start waiting for it in September. When I was a kid I drove my parents mad when I insisted listening to Christmas songs at June! So little bit of Christmas in baking is okay now.

In this recipe I combined the traditional gingerbread taste with winter´s best berry: lingonberry. It's like sweet and sour mixed with Christmas. Wonderful!








Lingonberry-yogurt pie with a taste of Christmas

1 egg
0,5 dl brown sugar
2 tablespoon dark syrup
100 g melted butter
1 dl wheat flour
1,5 dl spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground clove
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling:

4 dl greek yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
0,5-1 dl sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon corn starch
3-4 dl lingonberries

Preheat the oven to 200 Celsius degrees. First let's make the base. Mix together wheat and spelt flour, spices, baking powder and vanilla sugar. Whisk the egg with brown sugar to make a fluffy foam. Add syrup and mix. Add the melted butter and flour mixture by turns. Take a pie plate, butter and flour it and press the dough evenly into the plate.

Then the filling: Just mix everything but the lingonberries together and add on the dough. Sprinkle the lingonberries on top. And then to the oven for 30 minutes to 50 minutes, test when the yogurt is set.
