Ingredients:
For the pastry:
- white flour250 gr
- milk, lukewarm, 1 dl
- unsalted butter, molten, 50 gr
- sugar, 20 gr
- fresh yeast (12 g, or 6 gr if dry)
- egg, 1
- salt, one pinch
Filling:
- sugar*, 250 gr
- fresh cream, 1 dl
- eggs, 2
- Make the pastry: dissolve the yeast in the milk; mix well flour and sugar, add the milk and mix; add the salt, the egg and the molten butter.
- Knead well on a floured surface, let to rest, covered, for 1 and ½ hour.
- Roll the pastry out with a rolling pin, on a floured surface, until 3-4 mm thickness; line the bottom of a pie dish, well buttered.
- Sprinkle the sugar on the uncooked pastry; beat the eggs with the cream and distribute the mixture on the sugar
- Cook the pie in a pre-heated 180° oven for about 20-25 minutes
*Sugar: the traditional Belgian recipe uses “Cassonade”, a brown powder sugar obtained by a mix of fruit and vegetable syrups; this is difficult to find outside Belgium. You can use brown or white sugar instead.
