Charlotte is a very simple and delicious pastry. There are many recipes for its preparation. Here are three simple, but no less attractive, options using blueberries.

Charlotte recipe 1 (with blueberries)

This option will allow you to cook especially delicate pastries with a thin crispy crust. This is achieved thanks to a small amount of eggs and starch. Soda and baking powder are not added to the dough. As for the baking dish, in this case the recipe is for one small cake, and therefore you should not take dishes with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters.

So, this charlotte with blueberries will require for its preparation:

• sugar, 100 grams;
• eggs, three pieces;
• flour, 100 grams;
• starch, 2 tablespoons;
• vanillin, 1 sachet;
• blueberries, a third of a glass;
• vegetable oil, 10 grams.

If the berry is frozen, it should be thawed. In a clean bowl beat eggs until frothy. Then mix the flour and starch and add this mixture little by little to the egg substance. Next, mix gentlythe help of a spatula. When all the flour is gone, you need to bring the dough to a homogeneous state.

Now we prepare the form. Ideally, you need to cover its bottom with baking paper, and then grease with oil and sprinkle with flour. Excess flour can be shaken out by simply turning your mold over. When it is ready, you just need to pour the dough into it. But in order for you to get exactly blueberry charlotte, after pouring, you will need to add the thawed berry to the dough and distribute it carefully. The dish now needs to be put in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Our charlotte with blueberries will be baked for an hour, and if there is a lot of dough, then a little more.

It is very important not to open the oven for the first 25 minutes. After about forty minutes, you can check the readiness of a product that has risen strongly by that time using a wooden knitting needle. If the blueberry charlotte is not yet ready, then you need to bake longer, checking the readiness every 10 minutes. However, it must be taken into account that the finished product will not leave a completely dry trace. When you realize that your pastries have reached the norm, turn off and open the oven. Let the form with the pie stand in it for another five minutes, after which you need to transfer it to the table and leave it for another quarter of an hour, covering it with something light. This is a very important point, because otherwise the crust may crumble, and the most delicate crumb of the pie can fall off. When the cake has rested a little, all you need to do is carefully remove it from the mold, decorate and cut it.

Charlotte recipe 2 (with blueberries and apples)

Charlotte with apples and blueberries inthis version is prepared a little differently. The recipe will require us to:

• 2 apples;
• blueberries, 200 grams;
• sour cream, 250 milliliters;
• sugar, 250 grams;
• eggs, 2 pieces;
• soda, 0.5 tsp;
• flour, 250 grams;
• vanillin, one sachet;
• cinnamon (to taste).

Now we make the dough. To do this, grind the eggs with sugar, then add vanillin and sour cream. When a homogeneous mixture is obtained, gradually mix it with flour, previously sifted and combined with soda. At the end, add blueberries and mix again. Put the sliced apples into the form and fill them with dough. Further, the process is identical to how blueberry charlotte is prepared, the recipe that we suggested above.

Charlotte recipe 3 (with blueberries in a slow cooker)

Charlotte with blueberries in a slow cooker is extremely easy to prepare. The recipe below calls for:

• flour, 1 cup;
• sugar, 1 cup;
• eggs, 3 pieces;
• blueberries, from 200 grams (more possible).

To cook a pie in a slow cooker, you must first grease its bowl well with butter. Eggs need to be beaten together with sugar, then add flour and bring everything to a homogeneous state. After you need to evenly lay the blueberries on the bottom of your slow cooker and pour it with dough. Next, turn on the "baking" mode on the panel and cook for 40 minutes. After the cake is baked, you need to let it stand for about 20 minutes, pull it out of the mold and serve it to the table. As you can see, it is much easier to cook a pie in a slow cooker.

Charlotte decoration

One more tip for novice cooks: to make your charlotte not only tasty, but also beautiful, it is recommended to decorate it by sprinkling it with powdered sugar or semolina. On top, you can beautifully lay out nuts, pieces of marmalade, berries or mint leaves. Bon appetit!
