Hot sweet dishes include airy pies (soufflé), puddings, sweet cereals, baked and fried apples in dough, apple babka (charlotte), pancakes, etc. These dishes, especially cereal and flour ones, are highly nutritious and are used not only as a dessert, but also included in the dinner and breakfast menus.

Air pies (soufflé)

Prepared with beaten egg whites. To prepare the soufflé, egg yolks are ground with sugar, flour, vanillin (vanilla soufflé), cocoa or ground chocolate powder (chocolate soufflé), fried with sugar and ground nuts (nut soufflé) are added. This mixture is diluted with hot milk and, stirring continuously, boiled until thickened. Then it is slightly cooled and combined with whipped egg whites. The prepared mass is placed in portioned frying pans or metal dishes, greased with oil, and baked in an oven for 12-15 minutes. When preparing a soufflé, the whites should not be over-beaten, as this will cause the walls of the air bubbles in the foam to lose their elasticity due to the denaturation of the proteins, and during baking they will burst and the soufflé will lose its fluffiness. Serve the soufflé immediately after baking on the same dishes or frying pans, sprinkled with powdered sugar. Cold milk or cream is dispensed separately.

Baked apples Without peeling the apples, the core is removed using a special notch. Granulated sugar is poured into the formed depression. Place the apples on sheets or baking sheets, add a little water and bake in ovens until done (15-30 minutes depending on the variety). Apples contain from 0.3-0.6 to 0.6-1.0% organic acids (mainly malic). Under the influence of acids, about 50% of the sucrose contained in apples is inverted. This leads to a change in their taste. The amount of inverting sucrose depends on the pH of the apple juice and the baking time. Baked apples are served hot or cold, topped with syrup, honey and sprinkled with sugar.

Puddings Sweet puddings are prepared from viscous porridges (rice, semolina) or vanilla crackers, broken into small pieces. To viscous porridges, cooled to 60-700C, add yolks mashed with sugar. To make a cracker pudding, grind the yolks with sugar, add milk, add crackers and let them swell. You can add candied fruits, raisins, and dried fruits to the pudding mixture. To add porosity, whipped egg whites are added to the prepared mixture. Then it is placed in greased molds and sprinkled with breadcrumbs, in portioned pans or laid out in an even layer on baking sheets. The surface of the puddings is leveled, brushed with egg and baked in the oven. Before serving, puddings are poured with hot fruit sauce or canned fruit is placed on them.



Casseroles. Sweet casseroles are prepared from viscous porridges cooked with sugar in milk or water (rice, millet, wheat). Raw eggs mashed with sugar are added to them. Vanillin, raisins, candied fruits, and sometimes pureed cottage cheese are added to the prepared mass. Bake and release like puddings.

Apple babka (charlotte)

The walls of the pudding mold (with smooth walls) are greased with butter and sprinkled with breadcrumbs. Cut slices of wheat bread and moisten one side of them in lezone, to which sugar has been added. The bottom of the mold wall is lined with slices of bread (moistened with lemonade, side out) and filled with minced apples. The surface of the minced meat is also covered with slices of bread, greased with sweet lemonade and baked in the oven. Then take it out, cut into portions and serve with milk. For minced meat, apples are peeled, cut into pieces, sugar and a little water are added and baked. Ground cinnamon is added to the minced meat. You can cook charlotte on baking sheets (like a pie).

Guryevskaya porridge

Sticky sweet semolina porridge is cooked in milk. Prepare foams: pour milk or cream into a frying pan and bake in an oven; the resulting foam is removed, and the frying pan is placed back in the oven and baked until foam forms, which is removed again, etc.

Add butter, eggs beaten with sugar and vanillin to the semolina porridge. Place half of the porridge in an even layer on a greased frying pan. Prepared toasted chopped nuts, foam and a second layer of porridge are placed on the porridge. The surface of the porridge is leveled, sprinkled with sugar and baked in the oven. When served, the dish is decorated with canned fruits heated in syrup, sprinkled with a small amount of apricot sauce, and sprinkled with chopped nuts.



Croutons with fruits (croutons) The crusts are cut off from a loaf of white bread, cut into thin slices (1-1.5 cm), soaked in a mixture of eggs, milk and sugar and fried in butter on both sides. When leaving, canned fruits heated in syrup are placed on the croutons.

Apples fried in dough. Apples with the seeds removed and without the skin are cut into slices 0.5 cm thick and sprinkled with sugar. Prepare the dough: add sugar, salt, sour cream, flour to the yolks, separated from the whites, mix thoroughly and dilute with milk. Whisk the whites into a thick foam and carefully fold them into the dough. Apple slices are dipped into the dough using a chef's needle, and then quickly transferred to heated fat and fried until golden brown. Place the fried apples on a plate and sprinkle with refined powder. Apricot or apple sauce is served in a gravy boat.

Apples in a puff paste. The puff pastry is rolled out into a layer 0.5 cm thick, cut into square pieces of such a size that an apple can be wrapped in each of them. Prepared apples (with the seed nest removed and peeled) are placed on the dough, the hole formed is filled with sugar, wrapped in an envelope in the dough, brushed with egg and baked in the oven. When serving, sprinkle with refined powder.

Flambéed fruits

Flambing is the hot processing of fruits, usually peaches, that is, the preparation of a hot dessert. This can be done by the waiter in full view of the visitor on a utility table for bars. Flambing is carried out on an open flame of an alcohol burner, and precautions must be taken. There should be a distance of at least half a meter between the waiter’s workplace and the visitor’s table. There should always be a wet wipe on the waiter's utility table to quickly suppress possible small fires.

Fruit flambéing is done like this: all the components of the dish are placed on a tray in the order of their use; melt the butter in a preheated frying pan; pour sugar into butter and lightly fry it, caramelize it; pour in a mixture of sugar and orange juice, preheated in a ladle; boil the resulting syrup; put the fruit in a frying pan and put it on the fire, while the waiter works with both hands; pour cognac into a ladle and heat it until a flame appears; extinguish the burner; pour burning cognac over the fruit in a frying pan, then shake it several times so that the syrup saturates the fruit and the cognac burns completely; put fruit on ice cream.

Minced meats and fillings

Many flour confectionery products are baked with fillings (minced meat), for the production of which a variety of products are used: meat, offal, fish, vegetables, mushrooms, cereals, eggs, etc.

In many minced meats that do not include grains, sauce is used to bind and create a consistency that improves the taste of the minced meat. The sauce contains browned flour, butter or margarine and broth. For 1 kg of minced meat add 100-150 g of sauce.

Sautéing flour. Flour is sauteed to change its properties: when heated, gluten loses its ability to swell and cannot form an adhesive mass (due to protein coagulation). Flour is sautéed with and without fat. Flour sautéing without fat is done as follows: sifted flour is poured onto a frying pan or baking sheet in a thick layer of no more than 3 cm and, stirring with a wooden paddle, heated on the stove until the flour acquires a slightly creamy (fawn) tint and a pleasant aroma of roasted nuts. Sauteed flour should be crumbly, without lumps and the taste of raw flour.

Flour can also be sauteed in an oven at a temperature of 110-120*C, stirring every 2-3 minutes and kneading lumps. The browned flour is sifted through a sieve with 1-2 mm mesh.

Flour sauteing with fat is done as follows: melt butter or margarine in a saucepan or pan with a thick bottom and heat until the moisture completely evaporates. Then add the sifted flour and, continuously stirring with a paddle, continue heating until the bubbles disappear, i.e., until the moisture is completely removed from the flour. In this case, the composition should not darken. For 1 kg of flour take 1 kg of fat. Sautéed flour should be free of lumps, slightly yellowish in color, and without the taste of raw flour.

Making the broth. For sauces, broths left over from cooking or poaching meat, fish, and mushrooms are most often used.

You can specially cook meat broth from bones. For 1 kg of bones take 4 liters of water. Boil the broth for 4-6 hours. Fish food waste is used for fish broth. For 1 kg of fish food waste, take 4 liters of oxen. Boil the broth for 1.5-2 hours. Mushroom broth is prepared from pre-washed dried mushrooms. Before cooking, mushrooms are soaked for 3-4 hours (for swelling), and then boiled for
1.5-2 hours in the same water. The finished broths are filtered.

Preparing the sauce. The flour sauté is cooled to 60-70*C, diluted with hot broth and, stirring continuously, cooked at low boil until the consistency of thick sour cream. Before finishing cooking, season the sauce with salt. The finished sauce is filtered.

Onions and fat are sautéed to preserve aromatic essential oils. To do this, heat the oil in an electric frying pan or saucepan to 110-120°C and add chopped onions.

Sauté the onion with continuous stirring until it turns light golden brown.

The finished meat is passed through a meat grinder along with pre-sautéed onions. A white sauce is prepared using the broth obtained from stewing meat. The cooled minced meat is mixed with sauce, ground pepper, finely chopped herbs and salt.

The second method of preparing minced meat differs from the first in that before frying, the meat is minced in a meat grinder, fried and passed through a meat grinder again. Otherwise, this method of preparing minced meat is similar to the first.

When preparing minced meat using the third method, the meat is placed in boiling water (the ratio of water to meat is 1.5:1), brought to a boil, after which the heat is reduced and cooking is continued without boiling (at 85-90°C). The readiness of meat is determined by piercing a chef's needle: the needle enters the finished meat without effort.

Dessert is usually sweet (for example, cake or ice cream), but there are also savory desserts made from fruits, nuts, cheeses, and unsweetened confectionery. In addition, not all sweet dishes are desserts; for example, in Chinese cuisine there are sweet meat dishes that are not desserts. In China, you can also find candies with pepper and ginger instead of sugar. Native Americans made chocolate with peppers and spices instead of sugar before the arrival of Europeans. Even in Russian cuisine there are unsweetened desserts - for example, black caviar. Cheese is considered a classic French dessert.

Mixed desserts . This group includes pudding, soufflé, mousse.

Pudding- a very unusual dessert. It is based on rice and white bread. Sometimes the filling can be not only fruit, but also meat. Initially, this dish was prepared from the remains of various dishes, which were combined into one whole. This “union” came to be called pudding. To prevent the pudding from falling apart, it had to be held together with something. To do this, they prepared a mixture of eggs with milk or alcohol (cognac, rum).



Souffle- This is a light and airy dessert. The basis is eggs. Moreover, the whites are whipped separately; they are what give the airiness to this dessert. And the yolks are combined with other ingredients: cottage cheese, fruits, vegetables and even cereals. The result should be a mass reminiscent of sour cream in consistency. The finished soufflé can be decorated with fresh fruits, berries, a piece of lemon or orange, cream, or sprinkled with chopped nuts or grated chocolate.

Mousse- chilled jelly, which is whipped until foam forms. As a rule, the basis of mousses is some kind of aromatic base - juice, fruit puree, chocolate, grape wine, etc. To this are added egg whites (to form foam) and gelatin (to fix the foam).
