We were out on a picnic today with my friends. The weather has been so nice last three days, and so warm! I love sitting in a park and wathcing to the ocean and listening to the screaming seagulls. That's truely summer! So I wanted to bake something delicious for us today and this idea of the pie came to me. I modified originally a kind of brownie recipe into this recipe - I had to remove the chocolate from it because one of my friends is allergic to it. So these came out - and I was very satisfied. Everyone praised these.
Ingredients:
For the batter:
2oog butter
3 eggs
3dl brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
5dl plain white flour
1 dl potato starch
2 tsp baking powder
3 dl blueberries
1 dl soymilk or ordinary milk
For the frosting:
50g butter
1 dl vanilla sauce
about 4 dl powdered sugar (to make frosting thick enough)
For the decoration nonpareils or coconut flakes
1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Melt the butter, let it cool down a bit. Beat the eggs with the sugar into a foam. Mix the flour, potato starch and baking powder together.
2. Add the flour mixture, milk, vanilla extract and the melted butter by turns to the sugar-egg mixture, carefully, add the blueberries. It's not so serious if the berries colour the batter a bit, you can't avoid it. I think it looked lovely, when the batter was all purple!
3. Spread the batter over a baking sheet, covered with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes, depending how thick is the batter. Remove, cool down well.
4. To make the frosting, melt the butter. Add vanilla sauce and powdered sugar, mix well.
5. Spread over the well cooled base, be careful - if it's still warm the frosting pours over the edges.
6. When the frosting is set, decorate! And then, cut to pieces and enjoy :)
Looks delish!!!
