Sour milk mannikin

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for baking mannikin. Mannik can be baked using only semolina, then mannik will be more tender and crumbly, or take semolina and wheat flour in equal parts, mannik will taste more dense. You can use additives such as candied fruits, dried fruits, nuts, berries, pieces of fruit and others to taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the butter in a bowl, melt it in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Let the melted butter cool down to room temperature.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add sugar and a pinch of salt to a bowl with butter. Mix the ingredients so that the sugar cools completely. You can add sugar and salt to the oil while the oil is warm, then the first ones will dissolve faster.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour sour milk into another bowl, it should be at room temperature. Pour in the semolina, mix and leave at room temperature for an hour so that the semolina swells well.

6. Step 5:

   

   In the third bowl, beat the chicken egg with a fork or whisk, so that the egg white is completely dispersed. Pour the melted butter and egg mixture into a bowl with semolina. Mix it up.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add baking powder (baking powder can be replaced with soda, slaked with vinegar), a pinch of vanilla and pour in the sifted wheat flour, if we use it for baking. Mix the ingredients thoroughly so that the dough turns out to be homogeneous in texture, without lumps. It turns out a very thick dough.

8. Step 7:

   

   Grease the mannik baking dish with oil and sprinkle the bottom and walls with semolina. Pour the dough into it so that it fills the mold no higher than half. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the mannikin for about 30 minutes. The readiness of the mannikin can be checked with a wooden skewer. It should be dry at the exit.

9. Step 8:

   

   We take the mannikin out of the mold, let it cool on a plate and serve it to the table, with tea, coffee or cocoa. Bon appetit!
