Full recipe below:
Ingredients
For the crust:
130g flour
80g cold butter
1tbsp vodka
1tbsp mustard

For the filling:
3 eggs
300g grated Västerbotten cheese
300ml cream
1 pinch of salt

Method
Preheat the oven to 170 °C.

To make the crust, combine the flour, cold butter, vodka and mustard, and mix until a ball forms. You can use a processor if you have one or simply mix the ingredients by hand in a large bowl if not.

Roll the dough out on a well-floured surface so that you have enough to cover the base and sides of your pie dish and so that the dough is nice and thin.

Once you've placed the pastry into your pie dish, prick it with a fork a few times to allow it to breathe, then place in the oven for around 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

For the filling, whisk up your eggs, then stir in the cream, cheese and the pinch of salt.

When the crust is ready, pour the filling into it evenly, then place back in the oven for another 30 minutes. Garnish to taste and allow to cool — Västerbotten pie is usually eaten at room temperature, but you can place it in the fridge to chill if you like.

ABOUT VOGUE SCANDINAVIA
At Vogue Scandinavia, we are obsessed with telling stories and not all stories are best told the same way. While we have a shameless love for print, we have the same admiration for digital content. Everything we do, from podcasts to short documentaries, TikTok videos to fashion editorials, long-form journalism to quippy op-eds, is treated with the same meticulous care.


To strengthen our commitment to digital — and in keeping with our sustainability vision — we will only publish our print magazine bi-monthly. This ensures that we can dedicate resources, including our time and creative energy as well as our budgets, to our digital channels. Our editorial team is not siloed into “digital” and “print,” instead all members move freely between mediums, contributing to our print publication, digital magazine and even our social media.
