Walnut Pie - Tips and Tricks
• Nuts will be tastier and more aromatic if you pre-fry the kernels. But stored in this form is not recommended and you need to eat roasted nuts in the next few days.
• Nuts are prone to spoilage if they are not sufficiently dried. Before storing the kernel, you need to hold it in the sun, then fold it into a sealed and dark container.
• Nuts can be greased not only with an egg. Perfectly suited for this liquid honey. It is applied with a brush on the product after baking.
• Any dough will be softer, lighter and softer if you sift the flour before filling it up. In the process, it will become loose, dry out and easier to mix with other components of the dough.
• If you do not want the nut filling to crumble, then you can add egg white to the joint. It is simply poured into the total mass or pre-whipped until the foam, you can immediately with the prescription sugar for the filling.
