Charlotte is a delicious dessert that is easy to prepare.

The basic recipe involves using 3 eggs, a glass of sugar and flour, a little baking powder. But the main component is berries or pieces of fruit. This treat is baked for about 45 minutes at 180 degrees.

You can serve the dessert with ice cream, sour cream and other additives that make tea drinking more aromatic and delicious.

But it often happens that all the berries sink to the bottom in a wet lump, and dry dough rises above them. As a result, you can forget about an appetizing treat for the arrival of guests.

Experienced housewives know one trick that will help them always get the perfect charlotte.

To do this, you don’t need to pre-soak the berries in a starch solution or turn the pie over.

All you need to do is add one extra spoon of flour while preparing the dough.

Thanks to this, the mass does not allow the berries to “drown”, and the dough becomes a little denser and has time to bake.

The taste and texture of the finished dish do not change.
