Recipe presentation
Today is one of those days I think about my grandma and I miss her like the air.
For this reason I honored her with a cake.
With care and without scruple, I made it with “scientific” love and nostalgia.
Method
I made the pastry with the cold butter.
I mixed and wrapped and let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
I prepared the cream.
I buttered a baking tin, I add a layer of pastry and I pitted it.
I poured the cream and covered with other pastry.
Then I scattered the pine nuts and the icing sugar.
I baked in preheated oven at 170 degrees for 50 minutes.
Then for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.
