Ingredients Serving: 8

  1. All purpose flour 150 gms
  2. Butter 100 gms
  3. Water/Milk as required to bind the dough
  4. Caster sugar as per taste
  5. Salt a pinch
  6. Egg 1
  7. Mihidana 250 gms
  8. Custard Powder 3 tbsp
  9. Milk 2 and 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp
  10. White sugar as per taste

Instructions

  1. To make the Pie Dough, mix the flour and chilled butter (preferably with a fork) until it incorporates well.
  2. Now add sugar, salt and a little water/milk and mix it together. You just need to bind the flour to form a dough (No need to knead).
  3. Make a ball shape and wrap it in a cling film /foil and put it in the refrigerator for 30 mins.
  4. In the mean time, prepare the custard by boiling 2 and 1/2 cup of milk, add sugar as per taste.
  5. Then add custard powder in 2 tbsp of cold milk and make a slurry. Add it to the boiling milk and stir.
  6. When the milk thickens, take it down from the flame and let it cool. The custard is ready.
  7. After 30 mins take the dough out of the fridge and roll it in a round roti shape.
  8. Take a 9"pie mould and set the roti on it. Press the sides and corners with your hands so that no air pockets are left.
  9. Cut the extras from the top and give the top a nice shape. Place it in the refrigerator for 15-20 mins.
  10. Preheat the oven at 180°C for 10 mins.
  11. Now it's time for blind baking. Take out the mould from the fridge, put a parchment/butter paper on the mould and put a good amount of raw rajma beans/ any other lentil. (This will work like a paper weight and not make the dough become a phulka.)
  12. Bake it for 20 mins.
  13. After 20 mins take off the paper and grains. Give the pie crust a good egg wash and bake it for another 10 mins.
  14. Once cooked, let it cool off. Then spread mihidana on the crust and pour the custard on it and cover the top well.
  15. Bake it once again for 30 mins at 180°C in the preheated oven.
  16. Once the top part starts to show brown marks, take it out of the oven.
  17. Let it cool off. Then unmould the ring and serve.
  18. Baked Mihidana Custard Pie is ready to be enjoyed.
