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
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!
