About Cottage Cheese Tart (Biezpiena Plātsmaize)

This biezpiena plātsmaize comes from a Latgale culinary heritage collection. Rasma Krumpāne shared the recipe acquired from people in Ūdrīši parish, in Latvia's Krāslava district.

Flour, butter, sugar and baking powder make a crumb mixture. A pressed layer supports a filling of curd cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar, with the remaining crumbs scattered over it.

Baking brings the layers together into a sweet curd tart with a crumbly surface. The soft cheese filling sits between the compact base and its looser topping.
