This is the recipe for the curd casserole my mom always makes for me. Tea casserole – fragrant, tender, juicy. What could be tastier and healthier? Make a curd casserole and you won’t regret it.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Separate egg whites from yolks.
Add sugar and vanilla sugar to the egg yolks and beat with a mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and thick.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with salt using a mixer for 3 to 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
Place curd in a bowl and beat with a blender until smooth (or rub through a sieve for a smoother texture).
Add the egg yolk mixture to the curd and beat with a blender. Add semolina and mix thoroughly.
Add softened butter and beat with a blender. Gently fold in the beaten egg whites using a spoon. Rinse raisins in hot water until softened, drain, then add to the mixture and stir gently.
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and sprinkle with semolina or flour. Pour the curd mixture into the dish. Place on the middle oven shelf and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 40 to 50 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set.
Remove from oven and let cool. Cut into portions and serve.
