Cooking

Step 1

Prepare dough. Mix sifted flour, yeast, sugar and butter. Beat the yolks with 1 whole egg, pour into the flour mixture. Add rum and knead the dough. Roll it into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the cream. Boil milk. Grind the yolks with sugar until smooth. Add flour, mix thoroughly. Whisking constantly, pour in hot milk in a thin stream.

Step 3

Continuing to beat, put in a water bath and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove cream from heat and let cool.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll out one part into a thin layer, lay out in a round shape with low sides.

Step 5

Pour the prepared cream into the mold. Roll out the remaining dough, cover the pie with it.

Step 6

Roll the edges of the mold with a rolling pin to remove excess dough. Lightly beat the remaining egg, brush the top of the pie. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
