Walnut Pie

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake walnut pie in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. Wash the walnuts thoroughly and dry them in a dry frying pan or in the microwave.

2. STEP 2

   

   Using a coffee grinder, blender or other device, grind the walnuts into coarse crumbs. Or you can simply chop the nuts with a knife or roll them in a bag with a rolling pin.

3. STEP 3

   

   The taste of walnuts harmonizes perfectly with raisins, so it’s worth adding a handful of raisins to the pie. Wash the raisins thoroughly, place in a bowl and pour boiling water over them, leave for 15 minutes. Drain the water from the bowl with raisins, place the raisins in a colander, and let the water drain completely. Then roll the raisins in flour. This is necessary so that the raisins are evenly distributed in the pie during baking.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat chicken eggs into a deep container and add sugar. Wash the eggs first in running water with a food grade cleaner.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a blender or whisk, beat the ingredients until thick foam forms. if you want the pie to be especially airy, you can separate the whites and yolks from each other and beat them with sugar separately, and then combine the mixtures.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add baking powder, a pinch of vanillin and sifted wheat flour to the egg mixture. Read more about baking powder and vanillin at the end of the recipe.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour in parts, each time gently stirring the dough with a spoon, as if lifting the dough from bottom to top, so that the mixture does not settle.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place walnuts and floured raisins into the bowl with the dough. Gently stir the dough. The dough should be as thick as sour cream. Remember that you may need a little less or more flour. Read more about the properties of flour in the article on this topic. Link at the end of this recipe.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grease the pie pan with butter. Spoon the dough into the mold, spreading it evenly over the entire surface. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the pie for about 30 minutes. The times are approximate, use your oven and the height of the prepared dough as a guide. Read more about how ovens work in the article at the end of the recipe. Check the readiness of the pie with a wooden toothpick; it should come out dry.

10. STEP 10

    

    To prevent the pie from seeming dry, the finished pie can be soaked in sugar syrup, but this is optional and to taste. Serve the pie with walnuts and raisins at the table with tea, coffee or cocoa. Enjoy your tea!

I baked a pie with walnuts. For me, baking with walnuts brings back memories from childhood, maybe that’s why I couldn’t pass up this recipe. I replaced the baking powder with soda, which I quenched with fruit vinegar. I cut the nuts with a knife, I wanted it to be felt in the baked goods. When adding flour, I got a little carried away and the dough turned out thicker than the author’s, but I didn’t adjust it in any way, so I baked it. The pie rose well and turned out very tasty. With tea - just perfect! Children if with pleasure) Thank you for the simple and delicious recipe!
