Each landlady has its own branded way, for which festive pastry is prepared. This recipe is often passed down from generation to generation and honed to perfection. But if your family did not make a stove, this does not mean that you will not be able to please your loved ones from the first or second time. Baking, the recipe of which we will describe in this article, will help you to discover the talent of the pastry cook.
Poppy cake
Baking, the recipe of which involves the use of a mass of delicious ingredients such as poppy, cocoa, nut and quality sour cream, simply can not be great. This sponge cake you do not need to permeate with syrup: it will surely be possible and without doubt it will turn out to be soft and moist. It is better to bake three cakes so that you do not have to cut one into three pieces. Take into account that biscuit baking, the recipe of which we quote, should be infused, before you smear the cakes with cream, for several hours. Better five or six. You can decorate the cake at your own discretion: coconut shavings, flowers from the cream (then it must be done twice in advance, as indicated in the recipe, and buy food coloring), ready-made shop-made chocolate sweets cut into neat pieces. So, we are preparing. Whip three eggs with three hundred grams of sugar until the state when the mass becomes uniform and the crystals dissolve. Pour a half cup of 20% sour cream and add melted butter - two tablespoons. Stir all together. Pour a few spoons of pre-steamed poppy (draining the water) and stir again. Bake, dividing the mass into three cakes. After they cool down and brew, grease them with a cream of cream cheese or cream, decorate, put in the refrigerator for a day.
Danish Puffs Envelopes
This insanely aromatic pastry can decorate both breakfast and gatherings for tea. Its a big plus is that you can buy frozen dough. Many recipes of puff pastry make it possible to use ready-made semi-finished products and not to waste energy on cooking home. These envelopes are no exception. Pay attention to the manufacturer of the finished puff pastry, it should be checked. Read the composition on the package, it should in no case contain cheap vegetable fats. Prepare to then roll out the dough will need to be as thin as possible. And, of course, you will have to make sure that you do not overeat the products in the oven. Traditionally, Danish puffs are stuffed with curd cream. You can replace it with cream cheese. But that unique aroma, which has curd pastries, whose recipes are popular in the Scandinavian countries, can not be confused with anything. So, roll the dough thinner, cut it into small rectangles. Prepare the filling. Half a kilogram of dough will need one hundred and fifty grams of cottage cheese, one yolk, a pinch of salt and as much flour, sugar to taste. Mix everything, grind it through a sieve. Fill the envelopes with the curd mixture and bake for fifteen minutes in the oven.
