Lazy cheese cakes
Lazy cheesecakes can be made when you don't want to mess with kneading and rolling the dough. Products are made from a liquid base on milk, which, if desired, is replaced with kefir and a little soda quenched with vinegar is added. The laconic composition can be expanded by adding fresh herbs to the mass.
So, the cake. Why is it good? The speed of cooking (pressed and that's it - in the sense of fried on both sides). Variability. What can you put in a cake? I will say - whatever you want, and I will not be mistaken.
First of all, flour. You can make tortillas from one wheat flour, but better from a mixture. Flour, especially of the highest grade, was refined to the point that everything useful was cleared. As well as rice. What other flour can you take? First of all, whole wheat wheat. Then - rye, corn, pea, barley, oatmeal (oatmeal, remember?), Rice, bran, flakes, type 5 cereals, grated boiled potatoes. In the recipe, leave half the wheat flour for stickiness - the rest is additives. Rye flour tortillas are normal rye bread.
What to mix flour with? Again the scope of imagination. Most useful is with water. It is possible with any dairy products - whey, skim milk, sour milk, kefir, sour cream. Better with fermented milk products - extinguish soda. You can, of course, make yeast cakes, but what's the point? Nutritionists prove everything to us that yeast is a fungus. But they don't remember that these yeasts are in the air. Well, and on soda - faster.
Oh, what a story I read about cakes. To call it funny is blasphemy. During the Chinese-Japanese war, the Chinese added HMX, a highly explosive substance, to the flour. From such flour, one could safely bake cakes and eat them safely. But unbaked cakes were used as explosives. And never, no one, was caught with HMX flour.
Add - cheese, cottage cheese, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish. We want it - we drive it into the dough, we want it like the filling.
How to fry? In the oven - the baking sheet is greased with oil, the top of the cake is also. In a skillet in hot vegetable oil. Delicious, of course. But not useful. In a skillet - no fat. Will it burn? So so. Well, him, teflon is a cast iron skillet. Desirable for pancakes, tortillas - that's all. We do not lubricate with anything, but we heat it up.
The cakes can be made thicker - we roll out a little thinner than a centimeter, and thinner, then they resemble crackers. You can wrap them in them like in pita bread, which salad is delicious.
You can also put herbs in the cakes - savory and thyme. This, by the way, is not the same thing. Savory is a pepper herb. The Armenians call it citron, the Uzbeks call it dzhambul. Rosemary, basil, oregano, lavender are, as it were, not only ours, but also Provencal herbs. But ours - nettle, but the dandelion leaves are bitter, young clover, my favorite wood lice, arrows of garlic - this is also good for a cake and delicious.
Again, spices. You add asafoetida or garlic, pepper of any color, nutmeg, vanillin, cinnamon or mustard - this is your taste, your decision and again variety. Asafoetida came to the word. Jars of it began to appear. It is considered highly medicinal, treats indigestion and prevents gas and, consequently, gas. Another name is smelly ferula. It smells like garlic. Used in moderation. Or such a curiosity as the leaves of Shambhala, that is, fenugreek. They are also in hops-suneli, why not add?
In order to bake cheese cakes with sour cream you will need:
for one cake:
flour is almost a glass
sour cream - half a glass
grated hard cheese - almost a glass
salt, spices, herbs - to taste
soda on the tip of a knife
