Egg Pie
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- ½ cup Arla Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
- 2 Tbsps. granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsps. shortening
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ cup water, cold
For the Filling:
- 4 whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 can condensed milk (396 mL)
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, sift the flour, salt, and sugar in. Mix.
- Chop the chilled butter into large pieces. Add it to the dry ingredients. Scoop some lard and add it in as well. Mix, then drizzle the cold water in. Combine everything together, then gently knead it into shape. Wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it chill for 1 hour.
- Once your dough has been chilled, dust your work surface with flour. Roll it out evenly with a rolling pin. When it has been flattened to the right size, transfer it to a baking pan that has been slathered with butter. Press it down to fit the baking pan, then trim the edges. Chill the crust for 15 - 30 minutes.
- While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling. In a bowl, add the egg yolks, whole eggs, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat it all together. Pour it onto the chilled crust.
- Brush the crust with egg wash. Bake the pie for 45 - 50 minutes at 100 °C.
- Once cooked, let it cool completely before cutting it.
