Smart Pie

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Separate the whites from the yolks.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the yolks with sugar, vanilla and water. Melt the butter and cool slightly. Pour the cooled butter into the yolks and beat. Add flour in 3 additions, whisking thoroughly each time. Pour in half the milk, beat thoroughly, then the remaining milk and beat again.

4. STEP 4

   

   Gently fold in the egg whites, moving from top to bottom.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease the mold with butter and sprinkle with flour (the mold must be ONE-piece!). Pour in the batter (the batter will be even thinner than for pancakes). Place in the oven at 175C for 40 minutes - 1 hour 20 minutes. Some will need less time, others more time, it all depends on the oven. Focus on appearance: the top should be nicely browned and the contents should ripple just slightly. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into portions.

I’ve seen this masterpiece on the Internet for a long time, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. When I see it, sometimes I think, what if it doesn’t delaminate..?

I baked this pie, but added cocoa to the dough, because I heard reviews that the taste was reminiscent of an omelette. The children ate it with pleasure, but the adults, to be honest, were not delighted.

It separates itself into dough and a creamy layer in the middle.
