Mannikin on milk without flour

The mannikin turns out to be loose, crumbly and very tasty! If you like mannikins, this one must be prepared. Of all the mannikin recipes that I cooked (on kefir, on sour cream, on water), this one is probably the most successful. It turns out to be quite moist and at the same time crumbly and light. With a light vanilla flavor. The perfect combination. The main thing is to keep the semolina in milk longer before baking so that it swells properly. If you keep it smaller, the mannikin will turn out not so lush and airy.

Mannikins got their names from the main ingredient that is involved in cooking - semolina. The cereal itself is obtained from wheat. During the grinding of wheat into flour, a larger grain is additionally formed, which is called semolina.

In Russia, mannikins appeared around the 12th-13th centuries, it was then that semolina became publicly available. According to another version, Slavic housewives learned how to cook mannikin, thanks to a traveler who brought a recipe from the East. In the Arab world, a similar Basbusa pie appeared long before the spread of cereals in Russia. It is noteworthy that over a long period of time, the mannik recipe was not lost, unlike many culinary traditions of those times.

The indisputable advantage of mannikins is that this pie never burns. It can be stylishly browned, but in order for it to specifically burn or even turn into inedible embers, you need to try very hard.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !

So that the oven has time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).

When the top layer of baking is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places, if the skewer comes out dry, then the mold (or baking sheet) can be taken out of the oven.
