Strawberry and custard pie

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   First, let's prepare the custard. For it you will need: Milk, mine is 3.2% fat, at room temperature. Yolks at room temperature. Corn starch, sugar, salt, vanillin.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a thick-bottomed saucepan, combine the yolks, salt, vanillin, sugar, starch, 50 grams of milk (room temperature) and mix the mass...

3. STEP 3

   

   So that there are no lumps.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then the remaining milk. I mix again...

5. STEP 5

   

   And on the stove over low heat, with constant stirring, I brew the cream.

6. STEP 6

   

   I bring it to a boil.

7. STEP 7

   

   I take it off the heat, let it cool slightly, cover it in contact and set it aside for now.

8. STEP 8

   

   Baking dish size 20*20. I greased the bottom and sides with vegetable oil and covered it with parchment. And I immediately turned on the oven to preheat to 170 degrees.

9. STEP 9

   

   Next is the biscuit dough. For it you will need: Sifted flour. Sugar, salt, vanillin. Baking powder. C1 category eggs, room temperature.

10. STEP 10

    

    I combine the sifted flour with baking powder. I stir. I'm leaving it aside for now.

11. STEP 11

    

    I separate the eggs into yolks and whites. You don’t have to do this and beat everything at once, but I think it’s faster. Dishes and whisks must be dry and clean. Also, not a drop of yolk should get into the white. I add salt, vanillin and half the sugar to the white. Add the second half of sugar to the yolks.

12. STEP 12

    

    I beat the whites first at minimum speed, gradually increasing until a dense, stable foam.

13. STEP 13

    

    Beat the yolks with the same whisk, without washing, until lightly whitened and increased in volume.

14. STEP 14

    

    I combine the yolks and whites. I stir. For convenience, I pour more into the container.

15. STEP 15

    

    In 2 additions, sift the flour and baking powder into the egg-sugar mixture. I mix it carefully.

16. STEP 16

    

    The dough is ready.

17. STEP 17

    

    Berries or fruits can be absolutely anything. It’s also very tasty with apples. I have strawberries. I don’t recommend taking more (by weight) because it is quite watery and the finished cake may be wet. I wash the strawberries, dry them, peel them, and cut them.

18. STEP 18

    

    Add starch and mix.

19. STEP 19

    

    Add the filling to the dough and mix gently.

20. STEP 20

    

    I level it.

21. STEP 21

    

    The cream will become thicker after cooling, although it is still quite warm.

22. STEP 22

    

    For convenience, I transfer it to a pastry bag.

23. STEP 23

    

    I place a wire rack on top of the pie.

24. STEP 24

    

    Place in a preheated oven at 170 degrees, bake until done, approximate time 35-40 minutes. I check the readiness with a wooden stick; it should come out dry and clean.

25. STEP 25

    

    I let it cool completely in the form, then transfer it to a dish, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, and you can invite everyone for tea.

26. STEP 26

    

    Enjoy your tea!

Author, please take a look, there must have been some kind of glitch in the ingredients... Milk 2500 g seems to be too much for such an amount of cream, in addition, all the ingredients are indicated in grams, including eggs - 2 g instead of 2 pcs., which is more likely everything should be)))

The pie tastes good. But I would advise taking 2 times more dough. It turns out to be not enough biscuit in my opinion. I want more.
