Recipe-Ingrediants

An easy, quick, and delicious walnut pie. I have plenty of walnuts, so I'm going to make a walnut pie. It's the traditional walnut pie that our mothers used to serve on holidays and Sundays, and there wasn't a single crumb left! Let the house be filled with its aroma as I sweeten the hearts of my loved ones.

Ingredients:

400g sugar

400g all-purpose flour

110g fine semolina

110g coarsely chopped walnuts

6 egg whites (beaten to meringue)

6 egg yolks

2 yogurts (Greek-style)

16g baking soda

1 vanilla extract

 

For the syrup: 750g sugar

650g water

½ lemon

1 cinnamon stick

4-5 cloves

Directions

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until they form meringue. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar. Then add the yogurts, semolina, baking soda with vanilla extract, chopped walnuts, and finally sifted flour. Mix gently with a spatula to incorporate the ingredients.

Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered and floured baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown.

While the pie is baking, prepare the syrup. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, lemon, cinnamon stick, and cloves. Bring to a boil and let the sugar dissolve. Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool.

Check the doneness of the pie by inserting a knife or toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow the pie to cool slightly before cutting it into pieces. Pour the syrup over the warm pie using a spoon, gradually.

Serve the walnut pie plain or with a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!

Good luck!
