I would like to assert that the classic mannik with kefir is the simplest dessert pie in Russian cuisine. There are enough cooking variations for our semolina pie, but there is one constant ingredient - semolina.

Semolina, when combined with dairy or fermented milk products, ideally replaces wheat flour. So semolina makes incomparably delicious baked goods.

There is an assumption that the first semolina pie appeared in the 12th-13th centuries along with the advent of this very semolina. Since then, the taste of the pie has remained virtually unchanged. It's all about a simple selection of products.

So, to prepare classic manna with kefir without flour, take the products from the list.

Add the entire portion of kefir to the bowl. Kefir must be brought to room temperature. I recommend removing it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before preparing the dough.

Pour semolina into kefir.

Mix thoroughly with a plastic spoon or spatula. There should be no lumps. Leave the semolina with kefir in a warm place to swell. 30 minutes will be enough.

Beat chicken eggs with sugar until foamy. Add sugar to taste. Half a glass was enough for me, but those with a sweet tooth can use more. Place the beaten eggs into a mixture of swollen semolina and kefir.

Stir the dough until smooth. Add baking powder, a little salt and mix well again. Leave the dough for another 15 minutes and move into the baking pan.

Prepare a baking dish. To make the manna into a cake, use a container that is small in diameter but tall. Pre-lubricate it with butter and sprinkle with a light layer of dry semolina.

Bake the manna until done at 180°C. Cooking time - 40-50 minutes. Check doneness with a knife blade or wooden skewer. If you pierce the finished semolina pie, the dough will not stick to the knife or skewer.

After baking, the cake needs to be cooled slightly. Cover the form with manna with a plate and quickly turn it over. Properly prepared manna will jump out of the mold like this cute cake. How smooth and beautiful it turned out...

Look, friends, what a golden brown crust it has! It’s even a pity to cut it, but what can you do if the kettle has already boiled and the whole home “team” is waiting at the table.

Cut the classic manna with kefir without flour into portioned triangles, like a cake.

The pie is perfectly cut into even triangles. Help yourself to the manna before it gets cold. When warm, our simple dessert pie tastes amazing and has a very tender base. Enjoy your tea!

For those who are not yet familiar with such a wonderful pastry as manna, we suggest doing it right now. Why a miracle? Because the pie is so simple and easy to prepare that even a novice cook can handle it. With semolina, the sponge cake is not as capricious as with flour, and the cake always rises well.

Mannik - general principles and methods of preparation

The recipe necessarily includes semolina, which is why the name “manna” appeared. As well as flour, butter, sugar and any dairy or fermented milk product, sometimes cottage cheese. To add flavor, candied fruits, dried fruits, pieces of chocolate, poppy seeds, honey, apples, pumpkin, and berries can be added to the dough.

To give the pie a beautiful appearance, it is sprinkled with powdered sugar, smeared with fondant, icing, and jam. And to improve the taste and make it more juicy, the manna is cut into two halves and smeared with sour cream, condensed milk, jam, and soaked in rum or cognac. It turns out to be a real cake.

Mannik - food preparation

To make a tender and tasty pie, the semolina must be soaked so that it is saturated with moisture and swells well. It is left in the liquid for at least an hour, more is possible. Otherwise, the semolina will not spread well, and the grains in the finished pie will crunch on your teeth.

Today I invite you to try a very tasty semolina pie for dessert - this is mannik. Delicate, crumbly, with a light vanilla aroma and a crispy crust. It is prepared simply, from readily available and very inexpensive ingredients. This recipe is classic and uses only basic ingredients. Their proportions should not be changed, since the recipe has been proven over the years and you can only ruin everything. But you can experiment with additional ingredients as you wish. For example, you can add dried fruits, raisins and nuts, or you can make chocolate manna with cocoa. What I also like about this recipe is that manna can be given to young children (from 2 years old). I won’t say that the product turns out to be very dietary, but it also doesn’t contain anything harmful. If you are preparing manna for children, you can remove the baking powder from the ingredients and halve the amount of butter - these products are not very healthy. The mannik will, of course, not be as fluffy, but for kids it’s what you need. And you can serve a simple classic manna with jam or fresh berries and fruits.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp. kefir;
  • 2 tbsp. semolina;
  • 1 tbsp. Sahara;
  • 150 g butter at room temperature;
  • 3 eggs;
  • 3 tsp baking powder for dough;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • 2 small pinches of vanillin.


Recipe for classic manna with kefir

1. Pour kefir into the dough bowl and add semolina. To begin with, it is better to use 1.5 cups. From my own experience, I noticed that semolina swells differently. For a glass of cereal from one manufacturer you need 1 glass of kefir, and from another you may need 1.5-2 glasses of kefir. Of course, the thickness of the kefir itself also plays a role here. Mix.


2. Leave for 5-10 minutes while we work on other ingredients. The semolina should absorb some of the liquid and our “porridge” will thicken. The step-by-step photo shows the mass as it should be: it is not liquid, but not dry either. If the porridge has thickened, but it mixes easily, that’s it, move on to the next step. If the mass turns out to be very thick, dry and dense, add a little more kefir.


3. Transfer the butter to another bowl and rub it with sugar using a fork. It is very important that the oil is at room temperature, this makes it much easier to work with.

I also want to say a little about butter. It is better to take oil that is not very fatty, about 72%, so that the manna does not turn out to be too fatty. And don’t be afraid if during the baking process you see a thin layer of oil “bubbling” on top. It will boil away, and a delicious and slightly crispy golden crust will remain on top of the manna.


4. Break eggs into a bowl with butter and sugar. Add 3 tsp. baking powder for dough, add 2 small pinches of vanillin.


5. Mix everything thoroughly with a fork.


6. Pour the egg-butter mixture into the semolina with kefir.


7. Mix with a whisk so that there are no lumps. Please note: the mass should be liquid, its consistency resembles biscuit dough.


8. Lightly grease the baking dish with vegetable oil. I use a springform pan with a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 6.5 cm. It is just perfect for the given amount of ingredients.


9. Pour the dough into the mold and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 35-45 minutes (depending on the height of the mold). The mannik rises just a little. Therefore, you don’t have to be especially afraid that he will run away from the form.
