Charlotte with chocolate sauce. Charlotte: ordinary and unusual recipes Biscuit dough for sweet pastries
Charlotte – very tasty and healthy Apple pie, familiar to each of us since childhood. Despite the simplicity of the recipe, apple charlotte has exceptional taste and contains many vitamins and nutrients. This is why charlotte is so popular, and its recipe can safely be called “folk”.
There are several versions about the origin of the name “Charlotte”. One of the most common is a romantic story about a hopelessly in love cook who dedicated the dessert he invented to the lady of his heart, Charlotte. Another version is closer to reality: the dish appeared at the end of the 18th century and is named after Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III of Great Britain, who actively supported the idea of growing apple orchards.
Whatever it was, classic charlotte, more precisely “Charlotte” is a French sweet dish made from white bread, custard, fruit and liqueur.
Preparing such a charlotte is a very long and labor-intensive process that requires experience and patience, so we will not describe it, but will prepare a classic recipe. Well, if you want to surprise your loved ones, then check out the recipes below.
So, for the classics we need:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
– 1 cup flour
– 1 kg solid sour apples(ideal option - Antonovka)
Let's prepare the dough. Beat the eggs with a mixer as hard as possible, slowly add sugar, then gradually add flour and salt to this mixture at the tip of a knife. You should get a creamy mixture, and the better you beat it, the tastier the pie will be. Peel the washed apples and cut them into small pieces. It is also advisable to peel the apples, although this is not at all necessary.
Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with flour, semolina or breadcrumbs(however, if you use a Teflon-coated mold, breadcrumbs are not needed). Place the apples in the mold, pour the dough evenly over them and place in a preheated oven (180°C) for 30 - 40 minutes. You can easily check the readiness of the charlotte using a wooden toothpick or a match: if, when inserted into the pie, the dough does not stick to it, the charlotte is ready! Let cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
ON A NOTE!
Charlotte is original when served and very tasty if you put a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on a plate next to it.
To prepare desserts you will need:
Blenders and Mixers
Kitchen scales
Baking decor
Brand “S. Pudov” – seasonings, spices, food additives, flour and baking decor
Alternatively, if you want to add solemnity, you can pour syrup over the finished charlotte, pour in jelly, and pour melted chocolate over it. The sauce is whipped sour cream with sugar.
When fruits or berries are juicy, first you need to pour the dough - the ingredient on top, if you do the opposite, i.e. first the ingredient, and the dough on top, the charlotte may turn out “wet”.
These tips apply to all recipes.

SPONGE DOUGH for sweet pastries
Biscuit dough is ideal for a sweet dessert. You can make, say, apple roll from it.
The basis biscuit dough consists of eggs, sugar and flour. To make the sponge cake more fluffy and crumbly, some of the flour can be replaced with starch.
The quality of the sponge cake depends on the freshness of the eggs, the duration of beating and the correct baking mode.
You can add grated lemon or orange zest, vanillin, cocoa powder, chopped nuts. They are pre-mixed with flour.
If water or softened butter is added to the biscuit dough, they are mixed with the yolks.
Bake the dough immediately after kneading. A mold or baking sheet should be greased with cold butter and sprinkled with flour or breadcrumbs. You can put a sheet of white paper on a baking sheet, grease it with oil and sprinkle with flour or breadcrumbs. The mold is filled with dough to 3/4 of the height, since it increases in volume during baking. Bake the biscuit for 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 200-220°.
During the first 10-15 minutes, the sponge cake should not be touched, as it may settle and not bake well. The finished biscuit easily separates from the walls of the mold; when pressed with a finger, the dimple quickly levels out, the top crust is golden in color.
The baked sponge cake is left for some time in the open oven so that it does not fall off. Freshly baked sponge cake does not cut well, so it is recommended to let it sit for about a day after baking. There are several ways to prepare biscuit dough. Here are two of them:
1.Preparing biscuit dough using the cold method.
Carefully separate the whites from the yolks. Add 3/4 of the sugar to the yolks and grind until the sugar grains disappear and the mass increases in volume by about 3 times. In another bowl, beat the egg whites without sugar. The dishes must be completely clean, without traces of grease.
Egg whites do not whip well if they contain a little fat or yolk. If they are not whipped well, they need to be cooled, add a little salt, citric acid or a few drops of vinegar. The whites should be beaten slowly at first, and the beating speed gradually increased.
At the end of whipping, add the remaining sugar. When the whites increase in volume by 4-8 times and do not spill out when tilting the bowl, stop beating. Overly beaten whites have small bubbles, and the dough “shrinks” during baking.
Add 1/3 of the beaten whites to the mashed yolks, mix carefully and, while stirring, add flour or flour with starch. Then add the rest of the whites.
2. Preparing heated biscuit dough.
This method is used when the yolk is poorly separated from the white or if the yolk gets into the white. Beat the eggs into a bowl and grind with sugar. Place the bowl in another bowl with hot water, in other words, “in the bath,” and, whisking continuously, heat to a temperature of 40-50°. Then remove the bowl “from the bath” and continue whisking until the foam cools and gets stronger. After this, gradually add flour, stirring gently. With this cooking method, the sponge cake does not fall off during baking and turns out more crumbly than a sponge cake without heating.
Check the readiness of the baked goods with a thin wooden stick (toothpick).

“A glass of flour, a glass of sugar, three eggs” was written in the margins of I don’t remember which cookbook. Charlotte is one of the few dishes that I have been preparing since childhood. In the proposed recipe, for more splendor, I increased the number of eggs to five.
Surely everyone makes charlotte, I’m just reminding you: the joys of family tea drinking don’t require complicated delicacies.
For charlotte we need:
For the test:
5 eggs
1 cup flour*
1 cup of sugar*
1 tsp baking powder
*a glass of 250 ml is taken as a measure.
For filling:
3 medium apples
1-2 tbsp. sugar (depending on the sweetness of the apples)
A couple of lemon slices
For the vanilla sauce:
1 egg
400 ml. milk
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tbsp. Sahara
2 bags of vanillin (1.5 g each)
30 g butter
For sprinkling:
Powdered sugar, cinnamon
What we do:
Grease the mold with butter and set the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.
Cut the apples into thin slices, place them in a circle in a mold, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent the apples from darkening, and sprinkle with a couple of spoons of sugar.
For test Separate the yolks and whites into separate bowls. Beat the yolks with sugar. In another bowl, beat the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Sift flour over the mixture of yolks and sugar. Add soda, slaked with vinegar, combine with flour. Mix the flour and sugar-yolk mixture. Carefully add the whites in portions.
Spread the dough onto the apples and place in the oven. Shake the pan so that everything bakes evenly.
The charlotte is baked for 35-40 minutes. We check the readiness with a wooden stick - if the stick is dry, the pie is ready. While the charlotte is baking, do not open the oven (otherwise the dough will fall off).
How to easily remove charlotte from the mold(and any other pie in general):
Option 1: Lay a wet towel on a wooden board and place the pan with the cake. Let it cool a little. Then cover the pan with a large flat plate, turn the pan over, shake and carefully remove the cake. It looks like it's upside down. Then again carefully (so as not to crush it) cover the charlotte with a large plate (or stand on which you will serve it) and turn it over again. At first glance it seems that it is difficult, but in fact everything is very simple, you get the hang of it the first time.
Option 2: Cut out a circle from baking paper along the bottom of the mold in which we will bake the charlotte. We do everything according to the recipe. Place the baked charlotte on a plate, remove the paper and turn it over again using the technology described in option 1.
Sprinkle the cooled charlotte with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
For the sauce:
We take two saucepans. In one saucepan, thoroughly mix the flour and egg until the mixture is homogeneous.
In the second, mix milk and sugar and bring to a boil.
When the milk begins to boil, pour the flour-egg mixture into the mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly. Cook over low heat until thickened.
Add vanilla and butter. Boil a little more.
To make the sauce completely homogeneous, rub it through a sieve.
Cut the charlotte into portions and serve with sauce (also with strawberries, by the way, it turned out to be a song).
