And everyone probably remembers the taste of this dish, and this amazing aroma of freshly baked bread and warm cutlet. Your whole family will be delighted with this dish, because if you have cutlets in dough in the kitchen, then no one will remain hungry, even if some main dish is not ready yet.You should start preparing the dish by preparing the cutlets, because they must cool well. To prepare cutlets we need: meat, it is better to take two types, loaf, milk, eggs, onions, garlic, onions, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs and vegetable oil for frying. For cutlets, it is best to take two types of meat, pork and veal. In this case, the cutlets will be more juicy and not so fatty if you use only pork. The loaf must first be soaked in a small amount of milk. Of course, you can soak it in plain water, but if you use milk, the cutlets will turn out especially tender. The meat needs to be ground in a meat grinder, grated onions and a couple of cloves of garlic. When the loaf is already soft, squeeze out the excess milk and add it to our minced meat.Mix everything very thoroughly. Beat the eggs with a whisk, add a little more salt and pepper and pour into the minced meat. Knead the minced meat like dough, then the cutlets will stay inside better and will not fall out. Let the minced meat sit for a while and then begin to form the cutlets. It is better to make cutlets that are oblong in shape and not too large in size. Roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs and fry on both sides in vegetable oil. Place the finished cutlets on paper towels to remove excess vegetable oil.The second step in preparing our dish is preparing the dough. As a rule, here we use yeast dough, but there are housewives who use puff pastry, then it turns out very tasty too. It is better to knead the dough with milk, so it will be softer and more tender. Sift the flour well and check whether your yeast is fresh; this directly determines what kind of dough you get. Dissolve the yeast in milk, add a little sugar and half a cup of flour and let this mixture brew for about twenty minutes. Then add flour, eggs and melted butter and start kneading. It's no secret that the longer you knead the dough, the better it will taste. Make sure that the dough does not turn out too clogged, then the dish will not be as tasty. Let the dough rise well, then it will be completely airy after baking.Preparing the dish itself is quite simple, you just need to follow a few tips. Form small balls from the dough, then roll them into a rectangle and place the finished cutlet on the edge. The cutlet must be cold. Wrap the cutlet in the dough and press the edges to prevent the dough from unfolding during baking. Brush the resulting pie with yolk and let it rise a little more on the baking sheet. Don't forget to grease the baking sheet with butter and sprinkle a little flour, then our dish will have a very soft crust underneath. Bake the cutlets in the dough for about forty minutes. Can be served hot....
Everyone loves dumplings and this is no secret to anyone, because this is one of the most popular dishes in our country. We all know how many types of dumplings there are, all of them with different fillings and different options for preparing the dough. The most popular options for salty fillings for dumplings: potatoes, cabbage, cottage cheese, mushrooms, meat. But there are also sweet fillings: blueberries, cherries, sweet cottage cheese, apples. In fact, there are a lot of fillings, because housewives often combine fillings, such as cabbage and mushrooms, cottage cheese and berries. Today we will share with you the best recipe for making blueberry dumplings. They are very simple to prepare, but you need to know a few tips and all of them will be in our article.As always, we start preparing dumplings by preparing the dough. For this we need: flour, eggs, water, a little salt. It is best to take good quality wheat flour, because then the dumplings will turn out soft and snow-white. You can also sift the flour through a sieve several times, because after that the flour will contain more oxygen. Sift all the flour into a deep bowl, then make a large depression in it, try to make the sides as high as possible, then the liquid will not run away and spill throughout the bowl. Using a spoon, carefully and gradually begin to combine the flour and water so that the flour absorbs all the water, then add the egg and a little salt, mix everything well again.Then start kneading the dough; to make it more convenient for you, transfer the contents of the bowl to a table that is well sprinkled with flour. You need to knead the dough with both hands and for as long as possible, then it will be more elastic. Be careful with flour, if you add too much, the dough will be hard and tasteless, and it will also take much longer to cook. If you make the dough too soft, it will fall apart. When the dough is ready, divide it into parts, form a ball and start rolling, roll out the sheet half a centimeter thick and squeeze out round cakes with a glass.When you have already prepared the dough for making dumplings, you can start preparing the filling. In our case, the filling is very simple - blueberries with sugar. Attention, a very important tip to prevent blueberries from releasing too much juice, add a couple of spoons of semolina to it. The semolina will absorb excess juice and this will make it more convenient to sculpt the dumplings, and during the cooking process, they will not come apart from the juice. When sculpting the dumplings, make sure that all the edges are well molded and the filling is not visible. You should cook the dumplings immediately after you have stuck them on, because they can get soggy or stick to the board. Cooking dumplings is quite simple, but the main thing here is to throw the dumplings into boiling water. Stir the dumplings very carefully so as not to damage them.Make sure that they do not get overcooked; as a rule, dumplings are cooked for no more than fifteen minutes. Dumplings need to be drained well and rinsed with cold water, then they will not stick together. Dumplings are served with blueberries sprinkled with sugar and sour cream....

Stir the flour with baking powder and gradually add to the yolks with water. Now mix gently with a whisk until the mixture is homogeneous. Make sure that no lumps form. If this happens, take a wide sieve and strain our mass.At the very end, add the protein foam and mix very lightly, we need to keep as many air bubbles as possible in the dough, this will make the cake more airy and soft to the touch. Grease the baking pan with butter to make the cake easy to take out. You can check the readiness of the cake using a toothpick..After the cake has cooled, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
