Sweet curd pie

Sweet pie that my kids loved so much :)

and why wouldn't they - it had soooooo much sugar in ...

Base is the sweet shortcrust pastry:

160 g butter
100g sugar

220 g flour
1 egg yolk

Filling:
1 egg-white

2 eggs
300g curd

100g sugar
200g flour

1 grated apple

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

a pinch of vanilla sugar

Chantarelle pie second eddition

Few days ago was a pie day in my household :)

I baked 2 (one savory and one sweet) and they both had dissapeared till we went to bed ... we must have been verrrry hungry :D

This time I changed the filling (and it worked for better):
300g cooked chanterelles
1 egg-white
100g cheese in small cubes (although grated probably would have been better)

150g sausage in small cubes

1/2 paprica in small cubes
a pinch of salt and pepper

Base is still the same old shortcrust pastry:
220 g flour
1 egg yolk
160 g butter
2 tbsp cold water
a pinch of salt

Chanterelle pie

A while ago I unexpectedly got a big basket of chanterelles from my hubby's aunt, so I thought I should  make something more interesting than chanterelle sauce and fill up a jar for winter (I did those too, but the pie was a challenge to make something different than usual)...
So I made a savory pie!

Recipe is nowhere near perfect, but to remind myself what I did when I get the next big basket of chanterelles and try to make this pie even better ... :)
This pie tastes better on the second day ... I think it's because when it's right from oven the shortcrust pastry makes it kind of dry ... next time I would add some tomatoes, cauliflower or something to make it juicier right from oven ... to enjoy it while it's still hot :)
