The Grandmother always knows the truth - La torta della nonna

The Grandmother's pie - la torta della nonna

In Italy (but I think also all over the world) the grandmothers are sacred.
And in my country they make part of the culture, they complete the family, take care of the grandchildren, tell stories of their youth.

And of course, they bake cakes and pies.

So, here's the grandmother's pie... A very simple but super tasty dessert made with cookie dough, pastry cream and pine nuts.

Cookie dough frenzy (voglia di frolla)

Italian cookie dough - la Frolla

There comes the day when you just feel like "I wanna do it".
It's sunny outside, the weather is nice, the temperature is not cold at all.
And you just want to bake or, at least work with the ingredients, make some good pastry basis, and save them in the freezer for the future.
Well, truthfully, today it was that day. So I grabbed the plain flour, some eggs, vanilla beans, icing sugar, butter, and...

The pastry cream. Easy, fun, delicious.

 

The pastry cream is one of the most famous pastry basis... But it's also good to eat the way it is. You just need to add some fruits or chocolate...

But besides this, what you have to do is to try. Because pastry might seem difficult, complicated, time consuming... But it's not like this. I mean, not Always.

For example, in this case you just need some milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar and corn flour... And there it is.

The hardest part is done!

You wanna try it?

Jam cookies with some fruit juice.

 

Ever tried to make some good Italian biscotti with a good cookie dough?

The so called "pasta frolla". An easy recipe with which you can bake good pies and, of course, nice cookies (biscotti).

The thing is, believe me, to first try and, then, bake the dough in the oven.

You'll start feeling a great smell in your house, that you'll look forward to see how your dough was and, above all, to taste some Italian biscottis with a good fruit juice.

Of course, don't forget to invite some people over and enjoy your good food with your friends!
