A quick recipe for cookies without baking "Eggs - quick thinkers"

And if there is no time to bake, then you can not even bake it, but buy everything in the store.

We will need:

• round cookies with a diameter of 8 - 10 cm - 300 - 400 gr
• canned apricots or peaches - 1 can
• vanilla icing - 1 - 2 sachets

Cooking:

1. The size of the purchased cookies will depend on what you buy - apricots, or peaches. Ideally, apricots are needed, their half will just match the size of the egg yolk.

But it happens that it is difficult to buy apricots, then you can look for medium-sized peaches in halves. Or maybe you have stocks from the summer, and you made compotes from apricots for the winter, then you can use them on such an occasion. If you have not prepared, then prepare them next year for sure. Open in winter!

2. Choose thicker cookies, oatmeal is good. And I also want it to be completely flat.

3. Open a jar of apricots and put them on a napkin to drain excess liquid.

4. Dilute the icing as written on the package. It usually only takes a couple of minutes.

5. Put the cookies on the wire rack and cover their tops with still hot icing. Let it cool and put the apricot halves on top.

Canned apricots and peaches may darken slightly when exposed to air. Therefore, do not put them on cookies in advance. It is best to do this before serving.

This cookie looks like fried eggs. Original and interesting performance. And I am sure that such an idea will certainly please everyone present.

Glaze for painting Easter cakes, gingerbread and cookies

As we have noticed today, many pastries for the holiday can be decorated with icing. A holiday is a holiday, so the more colorful the table is, the better and tastier it will be.

And so I decided to include in the article a video with a master class on how to prepare such a glaze, how to color it, and how to use it.

Such knowledge will be useful not only for Easter, but also for other occasions when you need to decorate pastries.

All the recipes offered today are baked for a church holiday, both with and instead of Easter cakes. If you are tired of baking Easter cakes every year, then adopt an alternative option. Having decorated such pastries according to the holiday, you will certainly please all the guests and all your family.

For example, for the holiday I bake a lot of all kinds of pastries and only three small Easter cakes. I put one on the table, laying colored eggs around it, and I bake the other two to give them to my mother and my daughter's family.

Baked alternative pastries are so tasty and beautiful that they are always eaten first. Kulich is usually eaten last. At first, everyone cherishes it as a symbol of the holiday, and then they manage to eat so many pastries that they no longer want to. But interestingly, if a good dough is used for its preparation, then it can be stored for up to 3 days. And even after that, it remains very tasty.

A must have oven for Easter. Do not be lazy, do not buy on the very last day of the store, and do not say that you do not know how. We must observe a good good tradition, bake for the holiday ourselves, and teach this to our daughters and granddaughters.

So that the house smells of fresh bread, delicious aromas of vanilla and spices. All this brings comfort, goodness, joy, prosperity and well-being to the house. Therefore, take note of the recipes, use them, and let your house always be like this, and not otherwise.

Happy Easter to you! And all the best to you!

Easter is a big Christian holiday. One of the main attributes is Easter baking, the recipes of which I present to you.
Forty days after Easter are festive, but the first week, which is called Bright, is most clearly celebrated. Services, open royal doors, ringing of bells…

There was a smell of hyacinths in the dining room,
Ham, Easter cake and Madeira,
It smelled of spring Easter of Christ,
Orthodox Russian faith.
It smelled of the sun, window paint
And lemon from the female body
Inspirational merry Easter,
What around the bell buzzed.
Igor Severyanin

When you read the stories about Easter of past centuries, you discover, for the first time with surprise, that Easter curd has always been the centerpiece of the table. For some reason, I am sure that not only for children, but also for adults of modern Russians, the first attribute of the Easter table is Easter cake. In the south of Russia and in Ukraine, Easter cakes are lovingly called "pasochka". With what impatience we waited in childhood, when grandmother, in a huge boil-down, wrapped in two or three warm blankets, put the dough on paska. It was always possible to improve the moment of excavation of a huge pan: the blankets were thrown back, the lid was lifted almost a meter in diameter, the dough was kneaded. Of course, I immediately managed to pinch off a piece of raw, but fragrant, delicious dough reaching for my fingers ... Pasochki were baked in tin forms, cooled, waiting for the most crucial moment - covering the tops with snow-white protein glaze and sprinkling with colorful sugar confetti. More! More!.. Admit it, this is the most delicious part of the cake.
Easter cake - bread - is of great importance. Baking will succeed - the whole year will pass like clockwork. The crust will crack, fall off - expect misfortune. Talk later, reassure yourself that the recipe is unsuccessful, and you just need to do it your own way and not listen to anyone.

... On a large tray - on it I can lie down - Easter cakes darken, Easter turns white. Roses on Easter cakes and red eggs seem black ... Easter and Easter cakes, in flowers, are studded with raisins.

The man chose bread and an Easter egg as the main attributes of the holiday. In our family, Easter breakfast starts with a selection of colorful eggs.

In other words, according to the Orthodox tradition, each member of the family must eat a piece of an egg consecrated in the church in silence, but we do not succeed.

colored eggs

As soon as craftsmen do not decorate eggs! Easter eggs are called multi-colored eggs, which are painted with wax. Krashenki are one-colored and my favorite eggs. Drapanki - eggs painted with a scratched pattern. Drawings are most loved by children - brushes, felt-tip pens, and pencils are used.

In Rus', not only bird eggs were painted, but also wooden, stone, and clay ones.

Each ornament on the egg has its own meaning, as does the color. Here are symbols of eternal life, male and female principles, symbols of the sun and fire, eternal life.

A red egg always symbolizes life and joy, health and strength - blue, spring and the awakening of nature, strength - green, brown and gold shades mean the earth and its gifts to humanity.

The Easter egg was endowed with unusual and magical properties. According to legend, an egg can put out a fire, make seedlings friendly, and cure livestock from ailments.

Give each other colored eggs!

Do you know the legend?

Mary Magdalena gave the Emperor an egg with the words:
- Christ is risen!
The emperor replied in surprise:
- Is it possible to rise from the dead? It is impossible, just as this white egg cannot become red!
And suddenly the egg turned bright red.

Since then, people have been giving each other colored eggs. Moreover, there are many games and fun. In our family, “battles” are accepted. Each selects his battle egg for the final duel. Who will win? The game is called differently in the regions of Russia: cue balls, taps, taps.

... I examine the testicles presented to me. Here is crystal-gold, through it - everything is magical. Here - with a stretching fat worm: it has a black head, black bead eyes and a tongue of scarlet cloth. With soldiers, with ducks, carved bone ... And now, porcelain, father. Wonderful panorama in it. Behind the pink and blue flowers of immortelle and moss, behind a glass in a blue rim, a picture is seen in the depths: a snow-white Christ with a banner has risen from the Tomb. The nanny told me that if you look behind the glass, for a long, long time, you will see a living angel. Tired of strict days, of bright lights and ringing, I peer through the glass.

Cottage cheese Easter without baking

Cottage cheese Easter is a sweet mass of cottage cheese, sour cream, cream, butter, spices, candied fruits, raisins, nuts, almonds. Cottage cheese Easter is being prepared without baking in special forms of pyramids of different sizes. Forms have recently been sold absolutely everywhere, it is difficult to choose the volume, there is no pattern.

“... Tolsty Voronin and the baker roll up the cottage cheese in a wide tub, roll up their hands, poke the cottage cheese with their red fists, pour raisins and sugar into it and deftly press it into the pastries. They give me a try on my finger: well, how? Sour, but I praise out of courtesy. We have crushed almonds in the dining room, you can hear it all over the house. I help grate the cottage cheese on a sieve. Golden worms fall on the dish - completely alive! They wipe everything, in five sieves; we need a lot of Easter. For us - the real one, smells like Easter. Then - for the guests, the front door, still a "small" Easter, two for people and another for poor relatives.

I show the preparation of mine for which I choose fresh home-made cottage cheese from whole milk, fragrant vanilla, selected candied fruits from exotic fruits. The choice of high-quality dairy and sour-milk products is the basis for success and excellent rich taste.

You and your family will love homemade raw.

Easter baking: recipes and traditions

All Christians celebrate Easter, and every corner has its own culinary traditions. Hardly any other holiday can boast an abundance of baking recipes, except perhaps Catholic Christmas.

Each product has its own history and legend. Some legends are passed from mouth to mouth by peoples for centuries, accumulating their magical, yes, yes, power. Is that why it becomes joyful when you work with dough, and it is very pleasant to look, touch, inhale the aroma of finished baking? At the same time, I want to know all the details, history, choose the best recipe, select the appropriate ingredients, forms, find printed and video sources.

In my holiday arsenal, there are several successful Easter baking recipes that I share with you. Baking something new every year is wonderful!

I hope you are interested in playful. Cross buns are a sweet and airy muffin, fragrant with spices. Each bun is coated with the thinnest, shiny layer of simple sugar icing. The dough is kneaded with dried currants, raisins or candied fruits, baked in the houses of England, Ireland, Australia and America on Good Friday for breakfast.

Tasty Notes has a detailed recipe and an interesting history of these little buns. I tried to describe in detail the simple cooking process itself, which will pay off with the delight of the home. In the note and recipe you will find not only folklore - songs, poems, signs, proverbs and sayings, but also the very birth of tradition.

I talk about another wonderful tradition in the recipe. Every fourth Sunday of Great Lent is called Mother Sunday in England. At first they visited only their native parish, and then they came to their mothers that day with cupcakes and flowers as a sign of love and respect. The tradition dates back to the 16th century, when bakers used simila, a fine white flour. It is impossible to confirm or deny the name of the symbol. Read the material I have collected - there is not much of it, but it was compiled with the help of historical printed sources.

Simnel is prepared according to the optimal recipe. Famous recipes of ancient Simnel include candied flowers, dried currants, dried fruit pieces, saffron, lemon peel, almond seeds. Over time, Simnel has evolved into an iconic Easter pastry. Marzipan appeared in the design of the cake. Eleven funny egg balls top the Simnel cake. The number of balls according to the number of Apostles at the Last Supper without Judas is eleven.

In the center, you can place a figure of Christ or symbols of Easter - eggs made of chocolate, funny yellow chickens, Easter hares and symbolic flowers. I made almond marzipan with my own hands - tender and not drying out.

The Balearic Islands have their own culinary traditions - pastries My recipe contains only the traditional ingredients of this simple but very tasty pastry - fresh orange juice, aromatic olive oil, lard. The dough is crumbly, tender, does not get stale for a long time.

I was interested in the history of Austrian traditional pastries -. Firstly, there was a suitable cake form in the storeroom, and secondly, I really love rum, and any pastry with it delights me. By tradition, I began to look for a "real" recipe. It turned out that my cake mold “with a hole” is not needed, and the authentic Carinthian reindling has a different shape, and the pastry itself is recognized as the culinary heritage of Austria, as the ministerial website broadcasts. Traditions are maintained, they are tried to convey and pass on to future generations.

Since there was no time to order a form in Austria, I got a nice pan that faithfully served as a form for my pie or roll, I don’t know what to call this unique pastry.

All ingredients are available, the process is simple.

On the pages of "Tasty Notes" you will get acquainted with - Spanish Easter pastries and its unequivocal history, namely the sweet version. Baking molding is interesting, as is a fun story.

However, read on for yourself and try to cook!

Italian Easter bread is fluffy, moderately sweet, rich in taste, layered, soft and airy like a brioche. The bread is flavored with orange peel and anise.

With a delicate sugar-milk glaze and splashes of colorful sweet sequins, children will love it and will decorate the Easter table. They bake wicker bread, braiding braids from delicate pliable dough, and decorate them with multi-colored eggs. I offer you a proven recipe.

The Internet flashes with attractive photographs of all kinds of braids, braids and braids. However, not everyone knows that this is a traditional Greek pastry - tsoureki. Its Easter version, decorated with bright red eggs, as a tribute to the legend, is called lambropsomo. Tsureki contains a couple of rather rare ingredients. But in times of uninterrupted communications, travel, it will not be difficult to find and buy Magaleb cherries and resin from pistachio trees.

The note uses excerpts from the work of Ivan Shmelev "Summer of the Lord", Igor Severyanin "Easter in St. Petersburg". I hope that you will take advantage of my experience and the recipes for the Easter table will come in handy. In total, there are more than 600 proven recipes on my website, I included some of them in the article. The material is being added. Stay tuned!

Happy Easter to all visitors! Live deliciously and cook with pleasure! Don't forget to share the information with your friends!

The secrets of baking the perfect pasta
