Thin pomegranate pie with lime glaze

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 6.3 oz
Baking Powder - 1½ spoons
Salt - ½ spoons
Butter - 3.5 oz
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Pomegranate Seeds - 3 pieces
Orange zest - 4 spoons
Yogurt powder - 3.5 oz
Vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon
Powdered Sugar - 6.3 oz
Mint - 3 stalks

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Juice two pomegranates, peel the third one, and separate it into seeds. In one bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well with a mixer after each addition. Then, pour in half a cup of fresh pomegranate juice and add 2 teaspoons of lime zest, mixing again. Add the flour mixture, combine, then add the yogurt and mix again.

Step 2

Grease and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour, pour the batter onto it, and place it in a preheated oven at 356°F for twenty-five minutes. When the pie is baked (you can check this using a toothpick: the batter is ready when the toothpick comes out clean), remove it from the oven and let it cool for about fifteen minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, pour the powdered sugar into a bowl, add a quarter cup of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, add vanilla extract, a teaspoon of lime zest, and mix everything together.

Step 4

Use a fork to poke holes in the pie, spacing them 2–3 centimeters apart. Pour lime glaze over the pie, spreading it evenly across the entire surface. Allow the pie to cool completely, and before serving, generously sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, finely chopped fresh mint, and a teaspoon of lime zest.
