Sweet cheese pies

Ingredients for the dough :

• 1 kilo flour
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 1 cup of sugar
• ½ dessert spoon baking soda
• 1 cup of oil
• 1 cup of milk
• 4 eggs

 Stuffing:

• 1200 gr. Soft cheese (mizithra)
• 2 cups of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 spoon fresh butter
• ½ dessert spoon cinnamon
• 2 vanillas
• 1 lemon zest
  
  

We mix the ingredients until they become a soft dough and we leave it to “rest”, covered with a kitchen towel for half hour.

We prepare the stuffing, by stirring well all the ingredients.

We shape the dough to be about 1,5cm thick and we use a water glass or a small plate (depending on how large or small we want the pies to be), in order to cut the portions. We place in each portion 1 spoonful from our stuffing and we “pinch” the dough using our index finger and thumb. We sprinkle egg in each one of them and we put them on a greaseproof paper in a pan and bake them for 170^oc for 15-20 min.

Good Luck and Good Appetite!
