There are many recipes for batter for pie. It is made with or without eggs, based on fermented milk products or mayonnaise. Regardless of the chosen variant of the batter, the technology of its preparation will not change significantly. Knowing a few moments will give an impeccable result.
- Flour must be sieved before making the dough. This is done not only to clean the product from small litter. The main task is to saturate the flour with oxygen. Then baking from it turns out more air. It is also easier to mix light and loose flour with liquid ingredients, as it forms fewer lumps.
- If the dough contains eggs, they are shaken before combining with other ingredients.
- Dry and liquid components of the dough are usually mixed separately, and then combined. Sugar and salt are sometimes added to a liquid base without mixing with flour.
- Flour the flour into the dough in parts, each time mixing it well with a wooden spatula or spoon. This is the only way to achieve a smooth and uniform consistency. Pastry batter should resemble sour cream in density. If it turns out too dense, add some more eggs or fermented milk product to it. If the dough seems too thin, a little more flour can be added to it, even if you have to exceed the amount of this ingredient.
- Most often, baking powder is added to the cake batter, which can be soda, quenched with vinegar. If the acidic kefir serves as the liquid basis of the dough, you can not extinguish the soda.
- For the pies with sweet and savory fillings, the same types of batter are suitable, it is enough just to adjust the amount of sugar and salt.
When making the cake from the batter, the filling is spread in a greased form and poured over it. Another option is possible: first, pour half of the dough into the form, then put the filling and pour the remaining dough. Bulk cakes are conveniently baked in detachable or silicone molds, from which baking is easily removed. They bake such products at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Baking time depends on the size of the cake and the nature of the filling. It is usually 35-45 minutes.
