This delicious recipe brought to you by Sheri Silver I love to weigh my ingredients – and so does Christina Tosi. I noticed, in searching other sites’ adaptations of this recipe, that the corn powder is almost always omitted. I have no idea why this (or powdered milk) features in so many of the book’s recipes. Green’s and put it in my food processor, grinding it to a powder. I used my 13 x 18 half-sheet pan, lined with a Silpat, and spread the cookie batter on one half.Ĭorn powder – I know – what the what? I bought a bag of freeze dried corn at Mrs. I do not have a 10 x 13 (also known as a “quarter-sheet”) pan. Dust with confectioners sugar prior to serving (can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month). To serve, defrost in the fridge for at least an hour. Freeze for at least 3 hours, or overnight – this is important to condense the filling and achieve a dense final product. Close the door and bake for 5 more minutes, or till the pie is set around the outer edges, yet still jiggly in the dead center. Open the oven door and reduce the temperature to 325. Divide the filling evenly between the two crusts. Add the egg yolks and beat on low speed till just combined – do not overbeat (can be stored covered, in the fridge, for one week). Add the heavy cream and vanilla and beat on low speed for 2-3 more minutes. Add the melted butter and beat for 2-3 minutes, or till evenly incorporated. Combine both sugars, powdered milk, corn powder and salt in your mixer. Press the crust firmly and evenly into each tin, covering the bottoms and sides (can be stored wrapped, at room temperature for three days, or in the fridge for two weeks).ģ/4 cup(180 grams) packed light brown sugarġ/4 cup (24 grams) corn powder, made from freeze-dried corn (see Notes)Ģ sticks (16 tablespoons, or 1/2 pound) unsalted butter, melted Transfer to a bowl, add the butter, and knead until a ball is formed (you can add 1-2 more tablespoons of butter if needed).ĭivide the mixture evenly between two 10″ pie tins. Pulse until cookie is broken down and the mixture resembles wet sand. Cool completely (can be stored in the fridge, well-wrapped, for up to one week).īreak up the cookie to fit into a food processor, along with the brown sugar and salt. Bake for 15 minutes, or till caramelized on top and puffed slightly, but firmly set. Spread cookie batter evenly, about 1/4″ thick (it will not cover the entire pan). Line a 10 x 13 pan with a Silpat, or spray with non-stick cooking spray (see Notes). Mix on low, till all ingredients are incorporated, about one minute. Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the egg yolk and beat on medium-high for 1-2 minutes (or till mixture is pale white). Beat the butter and both sugars in your mixer on medium-high for 2-3 minutes. Just be sure to start with the crack pie.įollowed to the letter from Momofuku Milk Barġ stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperatureġ 1/2 cups (120 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats My lovely friend Leslie gave me Momofuku Milk Bar for my birthday, and I look forward to making basically everything in this fabulous book.* I encourage you to do the same. Salty, gooey, buttery, with a divine oat cookie crust that is the perfect complement to the filling. And I finally did – at Smorgasburg, last summer. I remember reading about the pie and simply dying to try it. I prefer one of my favorite Dane Cook lines:
Why? Well, you can use it in some of the recipes in the book, or “put some in a plastic bag and take it on the go as the best snack ever”. It’s essentially crushed cornflakes mixed with melted butter, salt and sugar. See what I mean? The stuff that sounds so insanely good, but that most pastry chefs would turn up their noses at (Ritz crackers? Seriously? But you know you love them). I’m talking about things like cornflake crunch.Ĭakes made with copious amounts of malted milk powder. But what really sets her apart is that she doesn’t let snobbery or fanciness get in the way of recipes that also just sound plain amazing. Which is not to say that she can’t do all of those things (and more). When I think about the very best pastry chefs, I envision swiss meringue buttercreams, icing sugar flowers and multi-layered, intricately designed cakes. Christina Tosi is my kind of baker, with a mind that works in incredible ways. If you know what crack pie is you’re probably not even reading this, having skipped right to the recipe (or maybe even running out to get the ingredients right now!).Ĭrack pie is the creation of one of the most talented and creative pastry chefs.
