Ingredients:
DOUGH:
250 g (0.5 lb) flour
150 g (5 oz) margarine
100 g (3.5 oz) sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
FILLING:
500 g (1 lb 2 oz) cottage cheese
200 g (7 oz) sugar
1 tsp vanilla
4 Tbsp flour
3 egg whites

Preparation:

1. DOUGH: Combine all ingredients, mixing them gently just until they are blended together - enough to be able to press the dough into the bottom of the pie plate and up the sides. Do NOT overwork.

 

2. FILLING: Beat egg whites until stiff. Add remaining ingredients.

 

3. ASSEMBLE: Devide the dough in half. Roll out the dough. Spoon in cheese filling. Cover with the top crust.

 

4. Bake at 190 (375 F) for 25 minutes until the crust is golden.
