Description
If after 45 minutes the crust on the pie is still light, you can leave it in a bit longer, as the zucchini may make the batter moist.
Ingredients
- Courgette - ½ piece
- Wheat Flour - 7.1 oz
- Butter - 3.5 oz
- Sugar - 3.5 oz
- Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - ¼ teaspoon
- Farm fresh eggs - 3 pieces
- Orange zest - 1 piece
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 374°F.
Step 2
Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater (if it is tender and young, you can leave the skin on; if it is autumn zucchini, remove the seeds and skin), let the shavings drain in a colander.
Step 3
Meanwhile, turn the frozen butter into thin shavings using a knife. Place it in a blender, add granulated sugar (it’s better to use fine sugar). Add the eggs to the butter and sugar and blend until smooth.
Step 4
Wash the orange thoroughly and zest it using a fine grater.
Step 5
Sift the flour, add the baking powder and salt, then the zest.
Step 6
Combine the butter mixture with the flour and gently mix, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Step 7
Thoroughly squeeze the zucchini shavings and add them to the batter. Mix again and pour into a greased baking dish.
Step 8
Bake for 45 minutes.
