12.06.2023 12:00
Any housewife has encountered the situation when the filling just tries to “run away” from the pie, which significantly spoils the baked goods.
This is easily explained by the fact that the jam turned out to be more liquid than we expected.
However, even in this case, you can prepare excellent baked goods.
What tricks will help with this?
Starch
You can simply add a spoonful of starch to the jam and cook it for a bit. In this case, heat treatment is needed to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant aftertaste, and also to help the starch distribute more evenly.
If we are talking about a pie, then you can do it even easier. First, spread a thin layer of powder on the dough before putting in the jam. On top, you also need to "cover" the filling with a small layer of starch.
These tricks will help keep the filling in place.
Other products
You need to add any products to the jam that absorb excess moisture well and have a neutral taste. Semolina, crushed oatmeal, shortbread cookies or even flour can be excellent options.
