Yogurt pie

Yogurt pie is a quick and simple dessert, perfect for any occasion. With a fluffy texture and refined taste, this recipe is sure to become your family's favorite. The total preparation time is about 50 minutes, and this recipe will yield 8 delicious servings.

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 500 g natural yogurt
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar (or 2 tablespoons of vanilla essence)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 200 g sugar
- 150 g flour
- 1 packet of baking powder
- A pinch of salt

To achieve a perfect result, make sure the ingredients are at room temperature. This will help better homogenize the mixture and give the pie a more airy texture.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C. This is the ideal temperature for baking the pie evenly, ensuring it browns nicely.

Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a whisk or mixer until frothy and doubled in volume. This is a crucial step, as the air incorporated into the eggs will make the pie fluffier.

Step 3: Add the yogurt, sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well until all ingredients are homogenized. The lemon zest will add a fresh and fragrant note, perfect for balancing the sweetness.

Step 4: In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. It is important to sift the flour to avoid lumps and achieve a fine texture for the pie.

Step 5: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet composition, gently mixing with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; just enough to combine the ingredients. This technique will help maintain the air in the mixture, which will help the pie be fluffy.

Step 6: Prepare the baking pan. If you are using a non-stick pan, as I do, there is no need to grease it, but if you are using a metal or glass pan, I recommend greasing it with butter and sprinkling a little flour to prevent sticking.

Step 7: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. This will help the pie bake evenly.

Step 8: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the pie; if it comes out clean, the pie is ready.

Step 9: After removing the pie from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then you can transfer it to a rack to cool completely.

To serve, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant look or add a berry sauce for a delicious contrast. You can vary the recipe and add some pieces of fruit (e.g., apples or peaches) to give it a fresh note.

This yogurt pie is not only easy to prepare but also versatile, allowing customization according to the season or your preferences. Try this simple recipe and enjoy a dessert that is sure to impress anyone!
