Charlotte dough

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to knead charlotte dough? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. It is better to remove all foods stored in the refrigerator in advance so that they are at room temperature. Beat the chicken eggs into a deep bowl or blender.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add sugar and use a mixer, blender or hand whisk to beat the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and slightly white and the sugar has dissolved. There is no need to beat the mixture to a thick foam. Some recipes recommend separating the yolks of chicken eggs from the whites, whisking and grinding them with sugar separately, and then combining them. But in principle, there is no significant difference in the result; in any case, the cake will turn out soft, tender and moderately airy.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the wheat flour to saturate it with oxygen, which will make baking especially successful and tasty. Add baking powder and vanilla to the flour, mix, and then pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the liquid mixture. Instead of baking powder, you can use soda slaked with vinegar. It is better to add flour in parts, stirring the dough each time so that no lumps of flour form in the dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   You may need a little more or less flour than the amount indicated in the composition, since different manufacturers have different quality and density of flour. The dough should have a consistency similar to very thick sour cream.

5. STEP 5

   

   The dough does not need to be kept in the cold or at room temperature; you can prepare apples or other filling and immediately proceed to baking the charlotte. Bon appetit!

To prepare charlotte dough, you need a minimum set of commonly available products: eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder. I kneaded the dough with a whisk. As the author advised, I added flour in parts. The dough turned out viscous, with a consistency like condensed milk. I made the charlotte in a cast iron mold with a diameter of 26 cm. I baked it for 30 minutes at a temperature of 190 degrees. The charlotte turned out tender, tasty, fluffy, aromatic. It was a great tea party with her. Thanks for the recipe!

There are a lot of apples this year, I wanted to bake apple charlotte. I liked this recipe, the ingredients are simple, the cooking process is easy. I made classic charlotte dough using this recipe. Indeed, even a child can cope. I prepared it for 4 eggs using the site’s calculator. I ground the eggs with granulated sugar with a hand whisk until the egg mass turned white, as the author writes. I sifted the flour in advance as recommended by the author. It took one and a half cups of flour into the dough. Add the flour into the egg mixture in parts, stirring well so that there are no lumps. I also added baking powder and vanilla sugar instead of vanillin due to its absence. The result was a homogeneous, smooth and tender dough. While cutting the apples, the dough stood for 10 minutes at room temperature. The consistency became, as the author writes, like thick sour cream. After baking, it rose well, had an airy texture and was quite sweet. The pie came out tender and soft. I advise you to cook! Many thanks to the author!
