You can celebrate Maslenitsa with the simplest pancakes without filling. If you knead the dough with kefir, they will turn out rich, soft, in a hole.

Ingredients

  • 400 ml kefir;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 2 tablespoons sugar;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 170 g flour;
  • ½ teaspoon of soda;
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil.

Preparation

Break the eggs into kefir, add sugar, salt and whisk. Kefir can be used either at room temperature or slightly warmed. In the second case, the holes are slightly larger than in the first.

Add flour to the egg-kefir mixture and knead the dough. Let it sit for 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix baking soda with a little cold water. Pour the soda solution into the rested dough. Add sunflower oil. This will allow you to bake pancakes in a dry frying pan (it will need to be greased with vegetable oil only before the first pancake). Mix the dough well and start baking.

From the specified amount of ingredients you will get 14-16 pancakes, depending on their thickness and the diameter of the pan.

And here comes 4th place: Cheesecake that doesn't need BAKE!

Yes, it was the unnecessaryness of baking that bribed me to put this recipe in fourth position.

For the basis we must acquire:

  • 150 g butter
  • easily crumbled cookies 250-300 g

For the filling you need:

  1. Gelatin, 20 g
  2. Half kg mascarpone
  3. 100-150 g sugar
  4. Glass of heavy cream

With a slight movement of the hand, pour the gelatin with cooled boiled water and forget about it for an hour. We make powder from cookies using either a meat grinder or a blender. Melt the butter in a saucepan. We pour the unusual powder with heated oil. We put what we got into a mold and send the mold to the refrigerator.

Next, remember about gelatin and heat it without bringing it to boiling point. switch to cream and sugar. Combine them and beat with a mixer. Add mascarpone to the whipped mixture. And the final touch is adding gelatin to the whipped mixture.

We take out the mold with the base and put the filling on it and put it back in the refrigerator for several hours.

Besides the fact that it makes an amazing dessert, this masterpiece does not need to be baked. This saves time + a less fatty dessert, which cannot but please those who are watching their waistlines.

Three winners are next in line, and we can already say that Anastasia Skripkina’s culinary recipes are distinguished by their individuality and simplicity of approach.

Hawaiian Toast has our top bronze!

The reasons for placing this dish in third place are as follows:

  1. The time spent on cooking is kept to a minimum; you can make it in literally 5 minutes!
  2. Non-standard combination of products, due to canned pineapples. The combination opens up unidentified taste preferences for us.

We go to the hypermarket and buy the following:

  • Ham, I took half a kg
  • Hard cheese, preferably in slices, so as not to cut
  • Special bread for toasting
  • A jar of canned pineapples

The operations we perform with all this stuff

Place several pieces of bread on a wide plate. Topped with sliced ​​ham. On the third floor are pineapples (when choosing, give preference to pineapples that are cut into rings). And the last layer, as you may have guessed, is slices of cheese. This beauty goes into the microwave for 5-7 minutes and voila! +5 to the taste will be when decorating the sandwich with either an olive or a cherry tomato, or herbs.

Until I came across this culinary recipe, I thought that a sandwich was an ordinary thing and would not surprise anyone. Now I realize how wrong I was.

Culinary recipes from Anastasia Skripkina that won the heart of the Secret Culinary

I decided to make the TOP 5 of these recipes. Of course, this list is small, because you need to choose the very best recipes, and not all, although in my opinion there are very few bad recipes.

Recipe that took fifth place: “Fish with sorrel sauce” extra dish!

The recipe looks unremarkable if it weren’t for the unusual sauce. This changes things dramatically!

Products that should be on hand:

  1. Fish carcass (from 300g) the type of fish does not matter;
  2. Egg
  3. Salt
  4. Oil for frying
  5. Standard flour

For our mega sauce:

  • Onion, gram 100g
  • A glass of milk cream 20% fat
  • Salt and a tablespoon of flour
  • Sorrel leaves, 50 grams is enough

The essence of cooking comes down to the usual frying of fish, previously immersed in flour and an egg. It is, of course, salted.

But the sauce is prepared in several stages:

  1. Finely crumble onions and sorrel
  2. Onions go for frying in oil
  3. After a little frying, a small amount of water is added to the pan and only after that the sorrel is placed. The mixture needs to be simmered.
  4. What we have stewed, we move the pan with cream, which we begin to heat up.
  5. Salt the almost finished sauce, add a spoonful of flour and bring to a temperature of 90 degrees.
  6. Next, the sauce is not placed on the fried fish, but in a blender container and whipped.
  7. And the final touch is the filigree basting of the fish with a delicious-smelling sauce that will not leave you indifferent.

I won’t lie, the recipe lured me into making it only with the sauce, but believe me, it’s better to try it: just fried fish in flour and egg and the same fish with the same sauce - 2 completely different things!

This is what I got, armless =)

Silver in the soup) in cheese soup with porcini mushrooms

As a child, cheese soup gave me more pleasant taste sensations than any other, so I gave this recipe second place, and even with mushrooms. In a word, gourmet soup.

  • Potatoes, 500-700 g
  • 50-100 g dried mushrooms, if you have fresh ones, then 200 g is enough
  • 100-150 g carrots
  • 300 g cheese, processed cheese is best
  • 100 g onions or leeks
  • spices and salt to taste

Let's take care of the mushrooms: fill them with warm water and take a break from them for half an hour. After soaking, chop them and throw them into boiling water, cook for about 20 minutes. Cut the onion as best we can, grate the carrots on a not-so-fine grater, and turn the already peeled potatoes into diced ones.

In reverse order, add everything that was chopped to the boiling mushrooms. And when the soup is on the verge of being completely cooked, add cheese. It is advisable to chop it too, then it will spread much faster and more evenly throughout the entire volume of the soup.

Cheese is the key product in this recipe from Anastasia Skripkina.

Helpful Tips and Tricks

Frying pancakes correctly is also an art. French crepes are very thin and pale yellow in color. They are cooked in a special frying pan with low edges. Usually nothing else except crepes is fried on it.

Pancakes can also be baked in a regular frying pan, frying brighter on one side and leaving them light on the other. The filling is placed on the fried side, the pancake is wrapped, and with further frying it will not burn, but will acquire a golden color.

Filled pancakes should not be kept in the refrigerator for more than 1-2 days. Due to condensation collecting on the lid of the pan or plastic container, they will become damp during long-term storage.
