Ingredients
200g of sugar
250g all-purpose flour
150g unsalted butter (softened)
3 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
150ml milk
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to distribute evenly.
Prepare the Batter: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients while slowly pouring in the milk. Mix until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra sweet finish.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: Serve the German pie warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Storage: Store the pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep it refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
