Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients listed in the recipe. Remove butter, eggs and kefir from the refrigerator in advance. The butter should have time to soften, and the kefir and eggs should be heated to room temperature.
Step 2:
Pour semolina into a bowl. Pour kefir and leave at room temperature for 35 minutes to make the cereal swell.
Step 3:
In a separate container, mix soft butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Stir thoroughly with a whisk or mixer so that the sugar crystals completely dissolve. Sugar can be replaced with a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use vanillin (at the tip of the knife). It is important to be careful with its dosage, because if you overdo it with vanilla, the taste of baking will be bitter.
Step 4:
Add eggs. Stir until smooth.
Step 5:
Pour the kefir-semolina mixture into the egg-butter mixture and mix until smooth. Pour baking powder into the dough and mix again. You can replace the baking powder with baking soda (1 tsp. l.) extinguished with 9% table or apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp. l.)
Step 6:
Prepare the filling. Which apples will work best? Take green sweet and sour fruits. Wash them, dry them with paper towels. Cut into small pieces. 2 apples were enough for me, since one was quite large, and the shape I used was low.
Step 7:
Pour the apple squares into the dough. Mix it up.
Step 8:
Cover the heat-resistant mold with high sides with oiled parchment paper, lightly lubricate it with vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature. Pour out the dough. Level the surface. Do not take a detachable container, as the batter will leak. It is not necessary to lubricate the silicone container with oil, baking in it will not burn.
Step 9:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance. Bake the mannikin for about 40 minutes. Please note that the baking time and temperature may be different for you, since everyone's technique is different. Check readiness with a wooden toothpick. Pierce the pie, if the toothpick came out dry, then the baking is ready. Remove the mold from the oven, let the mannikin cool down a little, then transfer to a flat plate.
Before serving, the finished mannikin can be sprinkled with powdered sugar, poured with melted bitter chocolate or smeared with sour jam.
You can add lemon zest and chopped walnuts dried in a dry pan to the dough.
You can serve mannik with fragrant tea, coffee, a mug of milk or with a ball of ice cream.
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.
Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
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 the useful information in this article !
In order for the oven to have time to heat up to the desired temperature, turn it on in advance (10-20 minutes before the start of cooking).
Any heat-resistant mold is suitable for this recipe. If you use a silicone mold, then you do not need to smear it with butter or margarine. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the baking does not burn.
