There are a wide variety of split baking tins that differ in coating, size and configuration. They are used for baking casseroles, biscuits, pies, Easter cakes, etc. In addition, split molds are convenient to use for the formation of cakes and puff salads.
Baking in a split form
In a split form, products are baked, the dough for which is not kneaded by hand and has a liquid consistency. The mold is collected and greased with vegetable or butter. Then the dough is poured into it and placed in a well-preheated oven. Having brought the baked goods to readiness, they, along with the form, are left to cool. Then the side surface can be removed and the pie can be transferred to a dish. Only in this case the baked goods will not be deformed.
Charlotte with apples is a classic example of baked goods prepared in a split form. The first step is to prepare apples (1-2 pcs. Depending on the size). They are washed, dried, cut into 4 pieces and cut out with pits. If the peel is tough and ugly, it should be peeled. After that, the apple is cut into thin slices and sprinkled with lemon juice so that they do not darken.
Eggs (4 pcs.) Should be beaten with a mixer or whisk until fluffy. While whisking, add one glass of sugar in a thin stream. Do not stop the process within 10 minutes. After that, sift one glass of flour onto the surface of the mass and mix the contents with a spatula in vertical movements.
Then grease the baking dish and pour in half the dough. Apples are laid on top and poured over with the remaining dough. The dough should be leveled, and put the future charlotte in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 35-40 minutes. When the baked goods acquire a golden color, and when pierced with a match, there will be no noticeable traces of raw dough - the charlotte is ready.
Useful Tips
If your split mold is leaking, then you can use one of several tips to fix the problem. Some housewives advise to cut off a sheet of baking paper to a size slightly larger than the bottom of the form, place it on the bottom of the structure, and then put it on top and snap the removable part.
Another way out of the situation with a poor-quality form is to completely close the bottom and side of the form to the middle with several layers of foil, firmly pressing it to the walls. After that, the dough is poured into a split form and put in the oven for 15 minutes. When the dough sets slightly, remove the foil and continue to bake the contents without it.
If you don't have baking paper or foil on hand, you can try spreading all the joints with a raw egg with a brush. The mold must be placed in a preheated oven for 5 minutes for the egg to set, and then pour in the dough.
