Many experienced pastry chefs use this simple trick to make the perfect apple pie.
The recipe for charlotte is very simple even for beginners. But in practice, half of amateur cooks end up with a flat and tasteless pancake.
The problem is not the oven, poor quality ingredients, or baking temperature.
A little trick
The mistake lies in one preparatory action, which many simply do not pay attention to, and in vain.
The eggs are beaten in two stages. First the yolks, then the whites. The components are brought to the formation of a thick foam.
It is better to use warm eggs. They should be taken out of the refrigerator in advance and kept at room temperature for several hours. Then they will whip better, and the whites will be fluffier.
The nuance with flour
To make the baked goods look like the pictures on cooking websites, you need to add the flour correctly. The sifted product is added strictly to the center, 50 g at a time. Then the flour is carefully mixed to the edges.
