Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, *whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar* until you achieve a pale, fluffy mixture. This process will incorporate air, giving your pie a light texture. Ensure that the mixture is well combined and airy before moving to the next step.

Step 2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, *combine the flour and baking powder*. Slowly add half of this dry mixture into the egg mixture, gently folding it in. Be careful to maintain the lightness of the batter while mixing.

Step 3

Heat the Milk Mixture

In a saucepan, *heat the milk with the butter* until it is warm and the butter has melted completely. This will add richness to your pie. Once combined, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly before using.

Step 4

Combine Ingredients

Now, to the egg mixture, *gradually add half of the warm milk mix*. Stir well to combine, and then alternate adding the remaining dry flour mixture and milk, continuously mixing. Start with the flour, then add milk, and repeat until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly.

Step 5

Bake the Pie

Pour the batter into a greased pie dish (24-26 cm or about 9.5-10 inches). *Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)* and bake for around 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during baking to avoid overcooking.

Step 6

Prepare the Soaking Mixture

While the pie is baking, prepare the soaking mixture. *Combine the milk and boiled condensed milk in a small saucepan*. Heat gently until it comes to a simmer, ensuring all ingredients are well blended. This will enhance the flavor of your pie once it’s soaked.

Step 7

Finish and Serve

Once the pie is baked, *remove it from the oven and pour the soaking mixture over it*. Allow the pie to absorb the liquid for a few minutes. Then, spread additional condensed milk on top and sprinkle with your favorite nuts for added texture and flavor. Slice and serve your delectable milk pie at room temperature!

Variations

For those who are looking for alternatives, don't worry! We’ve got you covered! 🌿 If you're aiming for a **gluten-free** version, simply swap out regular flour for a gluten-free flour blend, and ensure that your baking powder is gluten-free as well. 🥳 If you're seeking a **vegan** twist, you can replace eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water, and substitute milk with a plant-based option like almond or oat milk. 🌱 **Both variations promise to deliver delightful results!**

Faq

  • What if my pie doesn't rise?

    Ensure your baking powder is fresh and that you're whipping the egg and sugar mixture well until it becomes light and airy.

  • How do I know when my pie is done baking?

    Check the pie for a golden-brown color and insert a toothpick; it should come out clean when the pie is fully baked.

  • Can I use alternative sweeteners instead of sugar?

    Yes! You can experiment with honey or maple syrup, but keep in mind that it may slightly alter the texture.

  • Will the texture change if I use cold milk instead of warm?

    Using warm milk helps incorporate ingredients more smoothly, so for best results, stick to warm milk!

  • Can I add flavors like vanilla or lemon?

    Absolutely! A splash of vanilla extract or a hint of lemon zest can add an amazing twist to the flavor profile!

  • How do I store leftover pie?

    Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for about 3-4 days!
