Easy Raisin Pie Recipe



Materials:
 

1⁄2 cup confectioners’ sugar

 
4 tablespoons water
1 large egg yolk
For the filling 
10 tablespoons butter 
2 pounds gooseberries 
1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
3⁄4 cup sugar 


6 servings


Prepration:

1. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips, then mix in the confectioners’ sugar and egg yolk. Bring the dough together and squeeze it into a round, then put it in the fridge for half an hour to chill. I find this pastry works well in the food processor too; first blitz the flour and butter, then mix briefly with the sugar and egg yolk.
2. Top and tail the gooseberries, then put them into a nonreactive saucepan with the sugar and water and simmer until the fruit has softened slightly— it will go paler in color too. But stop before the gooseberries collapse. Lift the fruit into a bowl with a slotted spoon, then turn up the heat and boil the liquid down to a thick syrup, stopping before it caramelizes.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll out half the pastry and use to line an 8-inch tart pan, pushing it up the sides. I use a crinkle-edged tart ring with a removable bottom or an old-fashioned metal tart pan. Chill thoroughly, or freeze for fifteen minutes, then bake for fifteen minutes, baking blind, if you wish, until the pastry is dry and pale-biscuit colored.

4. Transfer the drained berries to the pie shell, pour over the thickened syrup, and leave to cool a little.

5. Roll or press out the remaining pastry into a round. Lift it on the rolling pin and place it gently on top of the pie, pressing the edges down to meet the bottom crust. Cut two air holes in the top crust.
6. Bake for twenty minutes until the pie is pale gold. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with superfine sugar, and return for a further five or six minutes. Leave the pie to cool a little before serving with a pitcher of heavy cream.

BENEFİTS OF LEMON ZEST

Today we will talk about the lemon peel and grated One of the easiest ways to infuse a citrus flavor into a baked good of some kind is to add lemon, lime or orange zest to it.  Zest is not the same thing as the peel, or rind, of a lemon, although it is a part of the peel. The zest is the colorful outer layer of the citrus peel. The soft, white part of the peel just underneath the zest is the pith. The reason that the zest is so desireable is that it contains lots of essential oils that make for a strong, pleasant flavor. The pith has a bitter flavor, with very little citrus taste when eaten on its own. The pith can actually give your baked good a bitter or slightly unpleasant taste if you incorporate it into a recipe (there are some recipes that call for using a whole fruit, but those usually compensate with extra sugar), so it is important to remove only the zest from the citrus rind when you are using it. The zest can be removed very carefully with a sharp pairing knife, ...
