White Pie

I made an incredible pie the other day! And nothing less I expected from Branka's recipe. I placed it with my favorites along with Monika's Honey pie. There are a very few desserts that can compete with those two. I only beg you, do not judge it wrong because of the pork fat in a biscuit! It can be made with butter, but that's just not it :)

And you know what Julia said: "Fat gives things a flavor!"

White Pie
(original recipe)

Biscuit: 1 egg, 2 egg yolks, 140 g pork fat, 300 g sugar, 6 Tbsp milk, 560 g flour, 12 g baking powder

Mix egg, yolks, fat, milk and sugar well with a mixer. Add sifted flour and baking powder. Add flour gradually as you want soft, not sticky or hard dough. You might need more or less of this amount. When you knead the dough divide it into four equal parts and flatten each piece as flat as you can on a piece of baking paper. Bake each biscuit in a preheated oven on 180°C for a few minutes. Stay in front of the oven, watch how it bakes carefully and be prepared to take them out fast as they could easily burn. You want it to stay white.

Cream: 1 l milk, 7 Tbsp flour, 250 g butter, 2 bags (20 g) vanilla sugar, 400 g powdered sugar

Boil 750 milk with vanilla sugar. Remove from heat. Mix flour and the remaining 250 ml milk and carefully pour it into the milk stirring continuously. Return to medium heat and cook until it thickens (stirring continuously). Just to let you know - this will take a while :D Let cool and mix in beaten butter with powdered sugar.

Assembling: Divide the cream into four equal parts. Take one biscuit and spread 1 part of white cream. Repeat two more times. Place the last biscuit on top. Don't worry if your biscuits aren't perfectly shaped. Put the remaining cream in a bowl and cover. Cover tight with a cling film and leave in the fridge overnight; just put some weight on it, a cutting board and a bowl with cream. Tomorrow, you will be able to cut through the cake like through butter. Now, you can cut away the non-perfect parts and shape it as you like. Spread the remaining cream on top end enjoy!

Note: Original recipe adds juice of three lemons into the cream.
