Ingredients
- For the Dough:
- 2 eggs
- 140 grams flour
- 60 grams melted butter
- 60 grams sour cream
- 60 grams sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Vanilla to taste
- For the Custard:
- 250 ml milk
- 1.5 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 egg
- 50 grams sugar
- Vanilla to taste
- 30 grams butter
- For the Jelly:
- 100 grams blueberries
- 60 ml water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 30 ml water
- 6 grams gelatin
- Additional:
- Seasonal berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, pitted cherries)
- Prepare the Custard: Combine milk, sugar, corn starch, egg, and vanilla in a saucepan. Whisk until smooth. Cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring continuously. Remove from heat, whisk in the butter, and cover with cling film touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool.
- Bake the Biscuit Base: Preheat your oven to 175°C. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar. Add melted butter, sour cream, vanilla, and baking powder. Gradually mix in flour until smooth. Pour the batter into a 20 cm baking dish (grease if not non-stick) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Make the Berry Jelly: Simmer blueberries with 60 ml water and sugar until berries are soft. Strain through a sieve to form a puree. Mix gelatin with 30 ml water, let it swell, then microwave briefly until dissolved. Combine with berry puree.
- Assemble the Pie: Trim the cooled biscuit if needed and optionally moisten with some warm milk. Spread the cooled custard over the biscuit. Tightly pack the top with seasonal berries. Brush the jelly mixture over the berries to seal.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for 2-4 hours, or overnight for best results.
