Instructions
Step 1
Start by beating the eggs with the sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt for about 5 minutes.
This step is crucial as it should create a nice, white foam texture.
Step 2
Next, add the melted butter to the egg mixture and continue to whip for another half a minute.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and then gradually add it to the egg mixture.
Use a spatula to gently fold the flour into the batter until well combined.
Step 3
Cut the mandarins in half and carefully remove any seeds.
For the baking pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, grease it with butter on the bottom and sides, and dust it lightly with flour.
Step 4
Arrange the halved mandarins in a circular pattern on the bottom of the prepared pan.
Pour the batter evenly over the mandarins, smoothing out the top.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the pie for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 5
After baking, let the pie cool before serving.
This pie is not only quick to make but incredibly delightful to taste. You and your loved ones will surely enjoy it!
Servings
When it's time to serve your delicious Mandarin Pie, consider these delightful ideas:
For a fantastic presentation, slice the pie into wedges and dust with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. This **simple touch** makes it look even more appealing! Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a creamy contrast, making your dessert experience truly unforgettable! 🍦
If you're hosting a picnic or a casual gathering, consider pairing the pie with fresh fruit and a chilled beverage. The fruity notes of the pie complement light teas or refreshing lemonade perfectly! 🍋🍉
Don't hesitate to get creative! You can even top the pie with extra Mandarin segments or a drizzle of caramel sauce for that extra touch of sweetness. Your guests won't be able to resist! 😍

Variations
Not able to enjoy the traditional recipe? Here are some fantastic **gluten-free** and **vegan** options for this pie:
Gluten-Free Variation: Substitute regular flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it’s one that rises well to achieve that fluffy texture! 🌾
Vegan Variation: For a delicious vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon of flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and use coconut oil in place of butter. The result will be just as luscious and delightful! 🌱✨
Faq
- What if I don’t have an electric mixer?
You can use a whisk to beat the eggs and sugar, but it will require a bit more elbow grease! Ensure to mix until the mixture is light and foamy.
- Can I use other fruits instead of mandarins?
Absolutely! This recipe works well with oranges, tangerines, or even peaches—just adjust the sweetness to your taste!
- How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is ready when it’s golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Can I prepare this dough in advance?
While the batter is best fresh, you can prepare it a few hours ahead and store it in the fridge before baking to enhance the flavors.
- What if my pie is too soggy?
This can happen if the fruit releases too much juice. Make sure to slice your mandarins carefully and use paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
- What's the best way to store leftover pie?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Just be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving!
