Publication in the group: Recipes in a slow cooker

Mannik cooked in a slow cooker is one of the simplest homemade recipes that even an inexperienced cook can handle. A delicate biscuit is obtained thanks to the main ingredient - semolina, and all other ingredients can be found in any kitchen. Mannik, made according to a classic recipe in a slow cooker or oven, is one of the dishes of traditional Russian cuisine. Semolina is used as the main ingredient of the pie, as evidenced by its name.

Historical information indicates that this product began to be used in Russia in the 13th century. The popularity of dishes prepared from semolina was explained by the simplicity and speed of the cooking process. Today, semolina pie continues to be prepared also because its soft structure is suitable for baby food. In addition, manna is recommended to people for low nutrition. Daily consumption of 150 g of pie allows you to maintain your weight. Dairy products that are used in the cooking process (kefir, milk, yogurt) contain useful substances that help improve digestion.

However, nutritionists advise people with the following diseases to refrain from consuming this product (due to following a protein-free diet):

diabetes;
gastrointestinal diseases;
liver and kidney diseases;
atherosclerosis.

Classic recipe

Mannik in a slow cooker (the classic recipe does not require the addition of fermented milk products) is prepared in a similar way to the cooking process in the oven. Having mastered the traditional recipe, housewives can then add kefir. Milk, curdled milk or other dairy products, since the technology of their use is the same.

During the cooking process, all ingredients are kneaded together until a homogeneous dough is formed, observing the order. First, mix the butter with the egg, then add the semolina. Before pouring the dough into the mold, make sure that the dough is free of lumps. The form with the dough is sent to the oven or multicooker and baked until ready for 30-40 minutes.

Composition of ingredients

To prepare the pie according to the classic recipe, use:

Product	Quantity
Wheat flour	1 tbsp.
Semolina	1 tbsp.
Egg	3 pcs.
Sugar	1 tbsp.
Fermented milk product	1 tbsp.
Soda	1 tsp.
Butter	100 g.
Vanillin or vanilla sugar	10 g.

To make the manna soft and tasty, pay special attention to the choice of cereals.

There are several criteria based on which they choose good semolina:

High-quality, peeled and washed semolina comes in packages marked GOST.
Semolina is not divided into categories and varieties, so pay attention to the marks M, MT or T, which indicate what kind of wheat the semolina was made from (respectively - soft, soft and hard or durum). The “MT” and “T” brands are considered useful because they are made from durum wheat.
Select semolina in transparent bags so that you can be sure of the quality of the cereal. If the semolina was stored incorrectly, lumps or stones will be noticeable.
Pay attention to the color and size of the cereal - it should be the same size, opaque and white or cream in color. T-grade semolina is more yellow in color and slightly translucent.

Step-by-step cooking process

Mannik in a slow cooker - the recipe for its preparation is as follows:

Semolina is pre-soaked for 1 hour for swelling. To do this, use milk, kefir or warm water.
Beat eggs with a mixer until white foam.
Melt the butter, cut into pieces, in a water bath. Mix melted butter with beaten eggs.
Add semolina and sugar to the mixture and mix. Then add flour and vanillin, stir until smooth.
The bottom and walls of the multicooker bowl are greased with oil and sprinkled with semolina so that the cake does not burn. Pour the dough into the bowl. Set to “baking” mode and set the timer to 35 minutes.

What can I add?

Wheat flour can be replaced with corn flour, which will make the color of the pie more saturated and taste like corn cake. Corn flour is suitable for gluten intolerance, as well as for those who follow a diet and engage in regular physical training. In addition, manna made from corn flour will be more satisfying.

During the cooking process, you can add berries, fruits or jam, or decorate the finished pie with them. When adding fruits and berries, choose ones that are not too watery, otherwise the pie will not bake from the inside and will burn on the outside.

How to serve a dish

The finished pie is served either whole or sliced. The whole pie is served if it was prepared in a round form and cut immediately in front of the guests. If the pie was prepared in a square shape, it is cut into pieces and taken out on a common plate or to each guest in a separate portion. As a sauce for manna, jam, jams, and sour cream are used, which are poured over the pie or served in a bowl. Sometimes the finished pie is topped with jam, melted chocolate, or sprinkled with confectionery sprinkles, grated chocolate, and powdered sugar. After this, the pie is sliced and served.

Often the finished semolina pie is topped with syrup made from pulp or berries. Which were used for decoration or in the cooking process. For example, you can make syrup from orange juice or use ready-made syrup from canned fruit. If garden berries were used, then jam from these berries is served with the pie. One of the serving options is manna, sprinkled with powdered sugar and decorated with fruits or berries and mint leaves. The best options for decorating manna are slices of lemon or orange, currants and raspberries, blueberries, bananas, and strawberries.

Vegetarian manna in a slow cooker (without eggs)

For many, manna is a taste of childhood. At home, in kindergarten, at a party - they were often treated to it and sometimes you want to remember the old days and prepare your favorite delicacy from an early age at home. But not everyone has access to familiar dishes in their original form. For example, some exclude eggs from their diet. The reasons for this may be different - both vegetarianism and the high content of unwanted cholesterol in the yolks. However, sometimes you simply don’t have them at hand, but you really want to cook them.

It turns out that this is not such a big problem, because you can prepare a traditional dessert without eggs, and it’s even better this way - because there will be even more benefits from it. And there is no need to worry that there will be nothing to hold its shape in the pie, because the recipe contains flour, it contains natural gluten - gluten.

Ingredients:

semolina – 1 cup (about 250 ml);
kefir with a fat content above 2% - 1 glass;
refined vegetable oil – 1\2 cups;
baking powder – 2 teaspoons;
premium wheat flour – 1 cup;
sugar – 1 cup or a little less (depending on your love for sweets );
a pinch of salt, vanillin or vanilla sugar.

How to cook?

Soak the semolina. This step in making a pie is always important and always takes quite a lot of time. But what can you do, such is the price of the ideal taste of the product at the end.
Pour a glass of kefir over semolina and leave to swell at room temperature. We don’t need as much time as in the previous recipe – half an hour is enough. So proceed to other parts of preparing the dough or just turn on your favorite TV series for half an hour - after all, cooking should always be a pleasure!
Grease the multicooker pan with butter or vegetable oil to cover all points that will come into contact with the dough to completely avoid unwanted sticking.
Now, another important step is to sift the flour. In addition to the standard reasons, such as removing excess debris, there is another one - saturating the flour with oxygen. This will help make the dough more airy and reveal the best qualities of the product due to the processing of gases contained in the air.
Add sugar, vanillin, salt and baking powder to the already swollen semolina, stir the mixture thoroughly, preferably beat with a whisk. While stirring, add half a glass of oil. This stage is ideal for third-party additives. Many people like to add raisins or dried apricots, banana or some nuts. Add whatever your heart desires; frozen berries also work great.
Gradually add flour, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, constantly stirring the dough so that no extra lumps form. When all the ingredients are used, beat the dough well one last time and pour into the mold. Turn on the baking mode of the multicooker and set the baking time to about 40-45 minutes. Close the lid tightly and leave the cake to bake. After the baking time has expired, do not open the lids for another 15-20 minutes to allow the cake to “ripen”.

Serve with jam, condensed milk or sour cream. Bon appetit!

Tips and Tricks

Many manna recipes do not contain salt. But it is precisely this that will make the taste of the crumb rich and full, so you can safely add a small pinch to the dough.
If the semolina gathers in lumps and cobwebs are visible in the grain, then most likely there are bugs in it. In the old days, such grains were fried in the sun or dried in the oven. It's better not to do this and just throw away the product.
If you need to replace the ripper with soda, then do not forget to extinguish it. The easiest way is to pour the powder into sour kefir, which is used to prepare manna.
If the cake does not want to jump out of the multicooker container, then there is no need to rush. Let it stand in it for a while, get damp, and then it will pop out more easily. But next time you will need to better lubricate the bowl or cover the bottom with an oiled piece of parchment.
If dried fruits are added to the manna: raisins, dried apricots, prunes, then you can pre-soak them in warm water. This technique will increase the amount of filling and make the manna more juicy and tasty.
