[purple Sweet Potato Pie with Creamy Pastry] --- about The Beautiful Secret
1.
Raw material diagram.
2.
Wash the purple potatoes, peel them, cut into small pieces and steam them in a pot.
3.
Put the steamed purple sweet potato into a bowl while it is hot, add butter, and use a spoon to press it into a pureed purple sweet potato.
4.
Add milk and condensed milk.
5.
Continue to press and mix well. (At this time, the purple sweet potato is very dark because it has been steamed)
6.
Squeeze in a little lemon juice and mix well. At this time, the color of the purple sweet potato will turn red. It doesn't matter, it will turn back to its original beautiful purple after baking. (The lemon juice I squeezed in is about 10 drops, this can be observed while adding it, and the color will change.)
7.
Open the puff pastry and divide it according to the amount you need. Each serving requires a piece of pie bottom and an appropriate amount of strips to be spread on top.
8.
Take a piece of pie crust, put the purple potato mash into the piping bag, and squeeze it evenly on the pie crust. (When squeezing, there is no need to decorate the mouth. Or you can apply it directly with a spoon. I like to squeeze, so that it is even and won’t get everywhere)
9.
Spread small strips in the same direction first.
10.
Weave the other half of the strips like a basket.
11.
Turn up the small strips on the four sides one by one, smear a layer of egg liquid, and continue to cover after smearing.
12.
Cut off the excess edges with a knife to form a complete pie.
13.
Brush the surface with a layer of egg liquid, and then put it in the baking dish.
14.
After finishing in order, put it in the preheated oven, 200 degrees, middle level, upper and lower fire, about 20 minutes until the surface is golden.
Tips:
Poetry heart phrase:
1: The size of the purple sweet potato is different, and the amount of milk that needs to be added is also different. It needs to be mastered according to the actual situation, when the softness and hardness of the purple sweet potato mash is moderate.
2: When weaving the grid above, try to relax it as much as possible, and don't stretch it too tightly, otherwise the puff pastry will swell during the baking process after baking, which will cause the edges to rise, which is not beautiful.
3: The amount of lemon juice added to the purple sweet potato mash depends on the amount of purple sweet potato, just add it as you go.
