Brown Butter Lattice Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF). Roll out the puff pastry to a thickness of about 3mm.

   Tip: Use a pastry brush to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the butter.

3. 3

   Remove the brown butter from the heat and stir in the sugar until dissolved.

   Tip: Let cool slightly before using.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and cinnamon.

   Tip: Whisk until smooth and well combined.

5. 5

   Add the brown butter mixture to the egg mixture and stir until combined.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Stir in the nuts, flour, and any other desired ingredients.

   Tip: Be gentle to avoid developing the gluten in the flour.

7. 7

   Roll out the remaining puff pastry to a thickness of about 3mm. Use a pastry cutter or a knife to create a lattice pattern.

   Tip: Make sure the edges are even and the pattern is symmetrical.

8. 8

   Place the lattice top on the pie and trim the edges to fit.

   Tip: Use a little bit of water to help the lattice stick to the bottom crust.

9. 9

   Brush the lattice with a little bit of milk and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

   Tip: Rotate the pie halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

10. 10

    Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Tip: This will help the filling set and the pastry to firm up.
