Black Forest Pie
Are you a pie person or a cake person? Me personally, I prefer pie. I don't just prefer it, i love pies, all kinds! And i really enjoy making them, there is something about the buttery and fruity smell combined, that makes me really happy and i feel all warm and cozy.
For the crust, I always follow this recipe and it has great tips and tricks if you don't have a lot of experience with pies, so check it out! https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/all-butter-pie-crust/
- 2 and 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more as needed (spoon & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (230g; 16 Tbsp) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup (120ml) ice water, plus more as needed
And for the filling i never follow a recipe, I always use whatever fruit I have at home or whatever i'm in the mood for.
This time I used around 4 cups of mixed forest fruits: blackberries, chokeberries and sour cherries and I cooked those with 4 tbsp butter and 1 cup of brown sugar and vanilla. The sugar amount is also a personal preference, you can add more or less depending on how you like it, however with these kind of berries i suggest a bit more sugar because they are very sour. I cooked them on a medium heat for about 20 minutes and then the filling needs to cool before adding it onto the crust.
I baked the pie for about 1 hour - the first 15 minutes at 220'C, and the rest of the hour on lower heat - 180'C.

American Pancakes
I've been making these pancakes ever since i found the recipe many years ago, and it's really the easiest recipe i've seen. I just realized i had never made a blog post about it.
So, here it is:
1 cup flour
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
vanilla
Mix everything together. If the batter is too thick, add little bit more milk. If it's too runny add more flour.
Cook them on a non-stick pan, on a medium heat until they reach light golden brown color.
And that's literally it, so easy.
Until Soon.
