Ingredients:

- 1.5 cups of boiling water
- 1.5 cups premium wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 110 g softened butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs category CO
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Berry jam (see recipe below)

For berry jam:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1.5 cups, plus 2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 1 split vanilla bean
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 23cm diameter baking pan with butter and dust with flour.
Place the oatmeal in a bowl, pour boiling water over it, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Strain well.
- Sift flour onto parchment paper, then add baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a shortcrust pastry attachment and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time and beat until smooth. Add the cooked oats and mix. Add the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 40 minutes. This pie is best served warm. Serve with warm berry sauce and a generous dollop of creamy varenets.
- Berry sauce: Dissolve cornstarch in 2 teaspoons of orange juice. Combine 1.5 cups of orange juice, honey, and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for 2 minutes, until the honey is completely dissolved. Add the blueberries and huckleberries and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the cornstarch and cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the raspberries. Discard the vanilla bean. Serve warm. Makes 6-8 servings.
