Pancakes are delicious in any form, and we are accustomed to classic round pancakes, which are usually piled up. But there are other ways to serve pancakes; they are mainly used by professional chefs in restaurants. If you learn to serve pancakes beautifully and appetizingly, you will never have a problem how to decorate a holiday table and surprise your guests. In today's master class you will learn how beautifully and unusually you can roll pancakes, in addition to the traditional triangles and tubes. The master class is dedicated to the original presentation of pancakes, and you can involve children in this activity. They are always interested in how a work of art is born from an ordinary pancake...

Pancake baskets

Make pancakes with cream and fry them until crispy so that they hold their shape better. For the dough, beat 4 eggs, 1 tsp. salt and 55 g of powdered sugar, add 1 glass of milk and beat again. Mix 230 g of sifted flour with the egg mixture and rub thoroughly so that there are no lumps. Pour in ½ liter of heavy cream 33% and 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

Fry the pancakes, cover them in upside-down ovenproof glasses or rigid muffin tins, and then place them in the oven, microwave, or air fryer to dry and firm. Turn over the finished baskets and fill them with any filling - meat with vegetables, pieces of fish, vinaigrette, Olivier salad, mushroom appetizer, curd mass, vegetables or fruits. The filling should not be too juicy, otherwise the pancakes will become soggy and the baskets will fall apart. If you fill the pancake basket with fruit, you should do it just before serving.

“Scrambled eggs” from pancakes

For these pancakes, the dough is usually made with sour cream to make them denser and fluffier. However, according to other recipes, the pancakes should be thin and lacy, so the dish turns out to be very tender. Mix 250 g sour cream with ½ tsp. salt, mix in the yolks of 2 eggs and beat the mixture well. Add 160 g of flour, grind well, carefully fold in the beaten egg whites and bake the pancakes in a hot frying pan.

When the pile of pancakes is ready, you can start scrambling eggs. Place the pancake in a greased frying pan, heat it slightly and crack the egg into the middle, making sure to keep the yolk intact. Once the egg has set, fold the edges of the pancake over to create a square. Pancake eggs are ready!

Pancake rolls

Pancake rolls can be prepared with meat, fish, vegetable or sweet filling. The main thing is that it is dense enough, otherwise it will fall out of the rolls. Cheese fillings, pates, caviar, red lightly salted fish fillets, cottage cheese, chocolate or peanut butter are ideal. Many people like pancake rolls, which are prepared in the form of rolls with red fish, cucumber and soft cheese.

Place the filling on the pancake, smooth it out and roll the pancake into a tube. The rolls can be cut into pieces or served whole, decorated with herbs and vegetables (if the filling is not sweet) or fruits, nuts, cream.

You can wrap the rolls in a more reliable way. Place the filling along the edge of the pancake on one side, then cover it with the free edge of the pancake, slightly tuck the side parts towards the middle and twist the pancake into a tube. The filling in such a roll will be completely safe!

“Snails” from pancakes

This is a very beautiful presentation of pancakes, especially if you decorate them with red caviar. For pancake “snails” it is better to bake real royal pancakes, which in the old days were prepared from the best ingredients. Place a dough of 30 g of fresh yeast, 2 cups of warm milk and 2 cups of sifted flour. When the dough has doubled in size, add 4 yolks, mashed with 100 g of butter. Mix 2 cups flour with 3 tbsp. l. sugar and 1 tsp. salt and add to the dough, and then leave to rise again for an hour. Combine 200 ml of cream with 4 whipped egg whites, stir into the dough and let it stand for 15 minutes.

If you plan to make stuffed snails, add 2 tbsp. l. filling on the edge of the pancake, then wrap them in a tube and twist them into a snail. Meat, fish, vegetable and cottage cheese fillings are suitable for this serving; you can also fill the “snails” with dried fruits and nuts.

Pancakes without filling are prepared differently - fold the two edges of the pancake towards the center, and then fold it again. As a result, you will get a four-layer strip that needs to be tightly twisted with a snail.

Bags of pancakes with filling

This is one of the most beautiful and easiest ways to serve pancakes, and pancakes can be made in two types - sweet and regular. For sweet pancakes, you can prepare sweet dough with milk or chocolate dough. Melt 80 g of dark chocolate and 4 tbsp in a water bath. l. butter, add 250 ml of warm milk. Separately combine a glass of flour, 4 tbsp. l. powdered sugar, 1 tsp. cocoa powder, a pinch of salt and 3 beaten eggs. Pour 250 ml of cold milk into the mixture, mix with the chocolate-butter mixture, beat well and leave for 2 hours so that the dough thickens a little. For white pancakes, any dough made with milk, kefir, sour cream or cream is suitable.

And now the most important thing - how to make bags of pancakes? The pancakes should be tender and warm, so assemble them as soon as they come out of the pan. Place the filling in the middle of the pancake, then lift the edges up, squeeze the space above the filling with your fingers and tie the bag with thin strips of lemon or orange peel, a feather of green onion, herbs and a cheese braid. Unsweetened pancake bags can be filled with fried mushrooms, vegetables, minced meat and fish, and chocolate pancakes go perfectly with jam, sweet cottage cheese, chocolate, fruits and dried fruits.

How to wrap pancakes in a triangle

All housewives know how to fold pancakes into a simple triangle - you need to put the filling on a quarter of the pancake, then fold it in half and in half again. But there is another interesting way of folding pancakes into a double triangle, thanks to which even liquid filling, such as jam, will remain inside. For this dish, pancakes need to be very thin and elastic, for example made from starch. You will need 4 tbsp. l. flour, the same amount of starch, 2 tbsp. l. sugar and a pinch of salt. Add 4 eggs to this mixture and beat, gradually pouring in ½ liter of milk and 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. Let the dough sit for half an hour and bake thin pancakes.

To roll a pancake into a triangle, place the filling in the middle, fold one edge so that it reaches the middle, then do the same with the other two edges. You have formed a triangle, one of the corners of which you must bend to the base - you get a trapezoid. Carefully bend the second corner onto the previous corner and you will get a rhombus. And finally, insert the second corner of the trapezoid into the gap formed as a result of all these complex manipulations. Pancakes folded into a double triangle with filling look neat and beautiful.

How to wrap pancakes with an envelope

Pancake envelopes are the easiest way to serve if you want to fill them with crumbly or dense filling and are confident that the pancake will hold its shape well. How to fold pancakes into an envelope to make them look appetizing?

This dish requires thin pancakes, the dough for which can be prepared in mineral water. Separate the white from the yolk, beat the white and yolk separately with a blender until thick foam, and then combine them together and beat again. Add 1½ tsp to the egg. sugar and a pinch of salt, pour in 250 ml of mineral water, and the mass will foam. Continuing to beat, gradually add 150 g of flour and at the very end - 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. The pancakes turn out very thin and quite durable.

Place the filling (minced meat, mashed potatoes, rice, cottage cheese) in the middle - now all you have to do is roll the pancake into an envelope. Fold the right and left edges of the pancake towards the middle, then do the same with the top edge and fold the pancake down. You get beautiful pancakes in an envelope, as in the photo, although there are many ways to wrap an envelope.

Tube pancakes: different ways to serve

For tubes they should be tender, thin and elastic. Custard pancakes made with kefir are perfect for this recipe. If you are making open tubes, use a thick filling, and for closed tubes even condensed milk will do. The filling never leaks out of such a tube, and the pancake looks very aesthetically pleasing. So, how to wrap pancakes with a tube correctly? Place the filling along the top edge of the pancake in a long line, then fold the right edge of the pancake over to lightly cover the filling. Do the same with the left edge, and then bend the upper part and twist the tube.

Multilayer tubes with different fillings look very beautiful, which, of course, must be combined with each other. For example, prepare three open tubes, fill one of them with cottage cheese, the second with banana puree, and the third with berries. Place the tubes on the fourth pancake in a pyramid, fold it so that the seam is at the bottom, and nicely align the edges with a sharp knife.

Pancake cake

A multi-layer pancake cake looks impressive and is prepared very quickly, so if you want to surprise your guests, prepare this unusual and versatile dish. Whether the cake will be an appetizer or dessert depends on the filling. Add spices and seasonings to the dough for a snack pancake cake; for a sweet cake, increase the amount of sugar or add cocoa to the dough. The good thing about this cake is that you don’t have to follow a strict recipe, so you have a lot of room for creativity. Place the pancake on a plate, cover it with filling, place a second pancake with filling on top, and so on - the height of the cake may vary. For a snack cake, the filling is made of minced meat, chicken, fish with vegetables, mushrooms and cheese, and you can decorate it with herbs, chopped hard-boiled eggs, olives, fresh vegetables and grated cheese. The sweet dessert cake is very tasty with fruits, nuts, jam, curd mass, mascarpone, chocolate, whipped cream and cream.

Blitz review of unusual pancakes

If you stick skewers with olives into a pancake cake made from several pancakes, cut the cake into small squares according to the number of skewers, you will get pancake canapés.

Pancake bags are made from pancakes cut in half. Place the filling on one edge, and then wrap the pancake in the shape of a cone. The cookies can be served in beautiful glasses.

Pancakes in a glass are a very beautiful and impressive presentation of pancakes. They can be cut into shapes, layered with pieces of meat and fish, and if you are preparing dessert, decorate the pancakes with fruit and whipped cream.

Pancake roses are made from a roll that is not completely wrapped - there should be a small frill left. The pancake is wrapped in a ring, and the frill is inside.

From thick small ones you can make boats with filling, piercing them with a wooden skewer to better hold their shape.

Tube pancakes can be served like candy by tying them on both sides with thin strips of fruit peel or sprigs of herbs.

You can come up with your own ways to beautifully serve pancakes or draw funny faces on them so that children will immediately get an appetite. Pancake rolls, fanned out on a large platter, or pancake roses in a glass glass look beautiful. Give yourself over to creativity and delight your loved ones with new pancake masterpieces!

Maslenitsa is a very atmospheric holiday that both adults and children love! The celebration of Maslenitsa means farewell to the cold winter and the approach of the long-awaited spring. Therefore, this wonderful holiday is quite worthy of inviting guests, gathering the family and having a real feast! And what is a feast without a beautifully set table? “Eating at Home” and “House in the Village” will share ideas on how to set the festive table for Maslenitsa.

Step 1: textiles

Both beautiful themed tablecloths and napkins, and just textiles in white or pastel colors are suitable. You can add bright details yourself: for example, sew the edge of the napkins with thick red thread. But if you prefer classic tablecloths, then bright original accents can be placed using decor, dishes and even dishes.

Step 2: Dishes

We set a sweet table with desserts and pastries. As a compliment for adults, you can provide glasses for alcohol based on their preferences.

We mainly focus on the “sweet three”: a tea cup, a saucer and a medium plate for desserts. Don't forget about the devices!

Step 3: decor

If space on the table allows, then add decor: it could be fresh fruit, beautiful candles, flowers. The most important thing is that the decor does not interfere with guests doing the main thing at the table - trying different dishes, easily seeing each other and communicating!

Have a delicious Maslenitsa!

The most famous and easiest way to fold pancakes

©
So, the most well-known way is to remove the pancakes from the frying pan and place them in a neat pile on a dish, brushing them with butter so that they don’t stick together. But don't think it's easy. In order for it to turn out as beautiful as in the photo, all your pancakes must be exactly the same - identical, even and without distortions.

Fold the pancakes in half

©
Let’s complicate the task and fold the finished pancakes in half. This option can be either without filling or with a hidden surprise inside. Simple and beautiful.

Pancake corners

©
Now let's fold the pancake three times. You can leave it without filling, let each guest choose it according to their taste. Or you can cleverly stuff the outside - the pancake seems to be empty, but it also seems to have filling.

Traditional pancakes

©
This “packaging” is suitable for the filling, which strives to get out. Place the minced meat in the middle of the pancake, cover with the nearest edge, then the right and left, and then wrap it in the remaining space of the pancake.

Dummy envelopes

©
The same method, but done with empty pancakes, will allow you to arrange them more compactly on the plate. You can coat the inside of the pancake with jam and place the desired filling on top.

Tube pancakes

©
It's simple: spread the filling along the edge of the pancake and roll it into a tube.

Pancake rolls

©
Here the filling is placed in the center of the pancake and is not wrapped, but folded over the top with the left and right edges.

Neat rolls

©
If you tuck one edge of the pancake and roll it into a roll, you will get elegant rolls with neat, even edges that will look impressive on the table. And where to soak your pancake, each guest will choose independently.

Stuffed rolls

©
A similar method, but fold the pancakes in half and stuff them with filling before rolling. For reliability, such pancakes can be tied with a sprig of greenery or a feather of green onion.

Triangular pancake envelopes

©
Another way to effectively stuff pancakes is to fold them in four, carefully bend the top edge and fill them with filling.

Pancake cones

©
After the pancake is folded in half, generously and generously fill it with filling and wrap it into the edges of the pancake.

Pancake cones

©
Place a lot of homogeneous and dense filling (curd cream, whipped cream, soufflé) on the edge of the pancake. Then carefully roll the pancake in a circle, as if making a bag out of paper.

Pancake triangles

©
The minced meat is laid out in the middle of the pancake, and the edges of the pancake themselves are pulled towards the center, forming a triangle. To prevent it from falling apart, you can mold the edges or secure them with skewers.

Double pancake triangles

©
We complicate the task and alternately pull the ends of the triangles obtained in the previous paragraph to opposite sides. This way, even liquid filling will be securely packed into the pancakes.

Pancake fan

©
We take the finished pancake and assemble it with an accordion, and then fold it in half. On the plate we get an original corrugated composition.

Pancake nests

©
We roll the thin pancakes into a spiral and put the filling on top - we get cozy and delicious stuffed nests.

Rose pancakes

©
These pancake flowers can be made from very thin dough, or regular pancakes can be cut in half. The principle is simple, although it requires some skill: do not roll the pancake into a tube too tightly and turn one edge over the other, forming a rose.

Pancake bags

©
The filling is placed in the center of the pancake, and the edges are gathered together and secured with a feather of green onion, a sprig of herbs, suluguni cheese fiber, boiled spaghetti or a toothpick.

Stuffed pancake pie

©
This is simply a culinary masterpiece! We stuff some of the pancakes with different fillings and roll them into tubes, and stuff the other part with now ready-made rolls and put everything in the oven - we get a pancake pie stuffed with stuffed pancakes.

And finally, we don’t fold at all...

©
And we throw pancakes onto the plate in chaotic waves, pour over them with butter, syrup, honey or sauce. The main principle here is to prevent the pancakes from sticking together. And carelessness on the plate also has its own twist.
Bon appetit!

Games and jokes await us, don't sit for a minute.
Get ready for our holiday, dress up as soon as possible!
We have many glorious and good holidays left from the past,
According to the tradition of our great-grandfathers, we must spend the winter.”

Teacher :

Today our lesson is dedicated to the Maslenitsa holiday ().You will learn about this holiday, its history, rituals. We will try to reproduce some of them.

Maslenitsa is one of the pre-Christian holidays that has survived to this day.

Maslenitsa is a purely Russian creation, even the French writer Jules Jagen speaks about this. In his words: “Maslenitsa was probably born in the north - she is the daughter of frost. A man saw her hiding behind a snowdrift and called for help during the harshest and saddest time of the year. She appeared with fat, rosy cheeks, with a sly eye, and not with a smile on her lips.

History of the holiday: ( Kulikova Lera ) (slide 2)

- Maslenitsa, who doesn’t know this most playful, riotous and truly universal holiday, so cheerful and joyful. This is an ancient pagan holiday from the 16th century, it is legitimized by the church as a Christian holiday. People celebrate Maslenitsa with jokes, games, dancing, fist fights and hearty feasts. The main place in Maslenitsa was played by pancakes (a symbol of the sun, and the sun is warmth, light, joy, goodness, harvest)
- We prepared for Maslenitsa in advance. Housewives cleaned the huts, cleaned, and washed household utensils. Homes were decorated with festive homespun paths, towels, and tablecloths. They prepared butter, sour cream, cheese, and meat for future use in order to celebrate the holiday with dignity.

And I know that in Scotland they baked “simple flatbreads” for Maslenitsa. A handful of oatmeal was poured into cupped palms, then the flour was squeezed tightly in the palms and immersed in cold water, and the resulting ball was baked in the hearth directly in the hot ashes.
All family members take part in baking pancakes: one greases the frying pan, another pours the dough onto it, the third turns the pancake over...

And I read that in one English city, competitions have been held for women running with pancakes for many years. At 11:45 The ringing of the “pancake bell” is heard. Each woman runs with a hot frying pan and a pancake. While running, you need to toss the pancake in the frying pan at least three times and catch it. The first woman to hand the pancake to the bell ringer becomes the champion of the pancake race for a year and receives the bell ringer's kiss as a reward.

- This holiday is celebrated in the second half of February or early March for 7 days, on the eve of Lent, which lasts 7 weeks until Easter.
- Maslyanitsa week is literally overflowing with holiday dates. Every day of Maslenitsa has its own name.

Monday (Fairushina Diana) (slide 4.5)

Maslenitsa is coming dear
Our guest is one year old
Yes, on painted sleighs,
Yes, on black horses
- Not life, but Maslenitsa.

On this day, in the villages they made a large Maslyona doll out of straw, dressed her in women's clothes and took her to the old high mountain, “so that Maslyona could see where spring will come from.” People wondered, joked, and had fun.

On this day, mountains were built from ice, sleigh rides took place, and children and their elders swung on swings. The swing was made specifically for the first day of Maslenitsa. People made fun of the mummers and buffoons. Also, they went to visit each other, made gifts, but it was impossible to give pancakes from home, since it was believed that you could take out your wealth. Only children were allowed to go around houses and beg for pancakes:“Bring on a wide Maslenitsa!”

Tuesday ( Khabibullina Elina ) (slide 6,7)

Maslenitsa - torticollis,
We welcome you well
Cheese, butter, pancake
And a rosy pie!

In the morning, young men and women rode down the mountains, ate pancakes, played games, and walked through the streets as mummers.

On Maslenitsa they not only baked pancakes, but also everyone gathered together, sang songs and danced. I suggest you get into a round dance and sing a song.

Like during Shrovetide Week
We wanted pancakes.
Oh, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
You are my pancakes.

Our big sister
She's a master at baking pancakes.
Oh, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
You are my pancakes.

She puts it on the tray,
And she brings it to the table herself.
Oh, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
You are my pancakes.

Guests, be healthy!
My pancakes are ready.
Oh, pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
You are my pancakes.

Wednesday - "Gourmand" ( Ziganshina Lilya ) (slide 8,9)

Mothers-in-law invited their sons-in-law and treated them to pancakes, and called all their relatives to entertain their beloved son-in-law.

He can’t sleep, he puffs at night. (dough)

I found the ball, broke it, and saw silver and gold. (egg)

Born in a field, brewed at a factory, dissolved in a glass. (sugar)

Into the frying pan like a stream, out of the frying pan like sunshine. (Crap)

What they pour into a frying pan and bend it in four. (Crap)

We bought a brand new, round one, but it’s all full of holes. (sieve)

Thursday - "Blown out - revelry, Revel" ( Kulikova Valeria ) (slide 22)

On Wide Thursday, Maslenitsa revelry begins (sleigh rides through the streets, singing songs in which Maslenitsa was glorified, fist fights were held - ritual actions symbolizing the struggle between spring and winter, but which had strict rules:

You can't hit someone who's lying down.
You can't hit someone who's crouched.
Hitting from behind is prohibited.
Face to face battle.
You can't hold anything in your fist.

Friday - "Mother-in-law's Party" ( Nikiforova Nastya )

(slide 23)

Friday - “mother-in-law’s evening”, on this day the son-in-law goes “to his mother-in-law for pancakes, and the mother-in-law welcomes and treats his son-in-law.

“The pancake is a symbol of the sun, red days, good harvests, good marriages and healthy children,” wrote A. Kuprin.

Saturday - "Sister-in-Law's Gatherings"( Fairushina Diana )(slide24)

The young daughter-in-law invited her relatives to her place. She gave her husband's sisters gifts - gingerbread and soap.

On this day, everyone began to visit each other, present gifts, and kiss each other. The brave souls swam in the ice hole. Throughout Maslenitsa week, ditties were recited that are directly related to delicious pancakes. Baking pancakes during Maslenitsa was trusted only to skilled housewives, since this pancake tradition occupied an important place in the celebration of the holiday. On Saturday, young girls and boys organized cheerful gatherings, where they sang ditties and played games.

Forgiveness day ( Ziganshina Lilya ) (slide 25,26)

Sunday - "Forgiveness Day"

They had fun on this day until the bells rang for Vespers. With the first sound of the bell, the fun stopped. Everyone went to church. After the service, they asked for forgiveness from relatives, friends, acquaintances and even strangers in order to cleanse their souls on the eve of Lent. Not performing this ritual means living a whole year in hatred and malice.

Guys, what do you think we should ask for forgiveness for?

It is very important to learn not only to ask for forgiveness, but also to forgive.
(read out)
"What a simple and ready way of salvation! Forgiveness day, what a great heavenly day of God this is! If only we all, as we should

if they used it, then the present day would make Christian societies into “paradise societies” and the earth would merge with heaven” (St. Theophan the Recluse).

On the last day of Maslenitsa week, the effigy of Maslenitsa was usually torn to shreds, buried in the snow or burned, saying:

Burn, burn clearly so that it doesn’t go out
So that all the snowstorms fly away at once
So that the birds sing and the grass turns green
The skies turned blue and the ears of corn were ripe
Burn, burn clearly so that it doesn’t go out.

This is how the noisy Maslenitsa week ended.

This year, Maslenitsa week lasted from February 27 to March 6. What else do you know about Maslenitsa?

Teacher:

Pancakes appeared so long ago that no one remembers when. They were a ritual dish among the pagan Slavic peoples. It is a symbol of the sun and a sacrifice to powerful idols. But their most important role is as a treat for Maslenitsa, a cheerful holiday of the Eastern Slavs. Maslenitsa with its pancakes is a meeting of the sun and spring, farewell to winter.

Pancakes are baked every day for Maslenitsa: day 1 - pancakes, day 2 - pancakes, day 3 - pancakes, day 4 - pancakes, day 5 - pancakes, 6 - pancakes, 7 - royal pancakes.

Test classification (types of pancake batter)

- What type of dough do you think pancakes can be made from? (yeast and without yeast)

All dough products must have a porous structure so that hot air penetrates into the product during baking. Substances that create this structure are called leavening agents.

- What is a leavening agent for yeast dough?(Yeast.)

Yeast dough recipe

KNEADING – FERMENTATION – CUTTING – PROOFING – BAKING.

When kneading the dough, the flour is sifted (oxygen enrichment, primary processing), salt and sugar are dissolved, the yeast is stirred in warm water (35-37 ° C).

All components are combined and left to ferment.

Flour proteins absorb water and, swelling, form gluten, which gives elasticity to the dough. When dough is fermented, yeast ferments substances called saccharides (glucose, fructose, maltose) to form alcohol and CO2. The alcohol evaporates during baking, and CO2 creates a porous structure. During fermentation, lactic acid is also formed, which improves the elasticity of gluten.

Excess sugar, fat and eggs inhibit yeast development.

In non-yeast dough, chemical leavening agents are used: baking soda NaHCO3, and ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3. When baked, they decompose, releasing CO2, which imparts porosity.

- What products can be made from yeast dough?(Kulebyaki, pies, cheesecakes, pancakes ...)

III. Practical work (stage 1):

Task No. 1: Choose the most optimal method of preparing pancakes and select the necessary ingredients (Appendix No. 1)

Preparing hot drinks, baking pancakes.

Team form of work: cook, waiter, kitchen duty officer.

III. Practical work (stage 2):

Table setting

The festive table begins with a formal tablecloth. In the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegov we read: a tablecloth is a piece of specially made fabric that was used to cover the table. In the old days, a tablecloth in Rus' was called a “tabletop”. It was made from homespun fabric and always rectangular in shape. Considering that a festive table usually involves several changes of dishes, an abundance of cutlery and tea utensils, it is good to place a soft cloth under the tablecloth. This will muffle the sound of plates and forks, the dishes will break less, and dishes with hot appetizers will not leave marks on the polished table.

Students need to be shown how to lay out the tablecloth correctly; this is very important, especially if there will be many guests at the table. So, if the tablecloth is rectangular or square, its corners should cover the legs of the table; if it is round or oval, the center of the tablecloth should coincide with the center of the table. Its edges should be lowered by at least 25 cm and no more than to the seat of the chair.

Monday -meeting,

The first day was called Pure Maslenitsa - wide noblewoman. On Monday, Maslenitsa and Maslenika, made of straw and dressed in dresses corresponding to their gender - women's and men's, were carried on sleighs throughout the area, and then sat on the highest place with songs and dances.

Vtronik-play ,

At dawn, the effigy of Maslenitsa was taken to a central place, round dances and riotous fun were held around it, then the young people rode down the mountains and on the swings, and the older ones had fun at the table.

Wednesday-gourmet,

On this day you need to eat as much as your soul accepts, hence the saying “It’s not life, but Maslenitsa.”)

Thursday-wide,

An obligatory attribute of Maslenitsa was a bear - a live, chained, or costumed person. Fighting a bear was a frequent pastime for Russian people. Children, also dressed up as animals, walked around the courtyards and caroled, collecting treats for the festive evening.

Friday-mother-in-law evenings ,

The most important event associated with the newlyweds was the visit of the mother-in-law by her sons-in-law, for whom she baked pancakes and arranged a real feast. The son-in-law's disrespect for this event was considered dishonor and insult, and was the reason for eternal enmity between him and his mother-in-law.

Saturday - sister-in-law's gatherings,

This day was always considered a family day. At sister-in-law's gatherings, the newlywed daughter-in-law had to present her sisters-in-law with gifts.

Sunday is a forgiven day.

The last day is the most fun and riotous, despite the fact that it was called “Forgiveness Day.” People walked from yard to yard, asking each other for forgiveness.

The Maslenitsa complex included such entertainment as mountain skiing, sleigh rides, various rituals honoring the newlyweds, fist fights, and processions of mummers.
