pies from
the city of Lier
The Lierse vlaaike is perhaps more than 300
years old. The original pastry had a bottom
with dough of flour and water. This dough
was pushed into wooden molds and allowed
to dry for a few days. The demoulded hard
dough tray was then filled and baked in the
oven. The result was a tasty pastry, but hard
as concrete.
Butter cupcakes in and pollinate with flour. Put
circles out of the crumble dough and cover the
molds with it. Puncture the soil. Put the filling in
a piping bag and fill the molds to the edge.
Bake the vlaaikes (pies) in an oven preheated
to 185°C for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to
evaporate.
