Everyone knows what mannik is. This pie doesn't really need advertising. And every housewife has her own favorite recipe, and sometimes even more than one. After all, dessert can be prepared with kefir, sour cream and milk.

Like all dishes that are very loved and often prepared, it has not remained unchanged. There is a classic method of preparation, and there are also many modified options and variations. As a rule, they maintain the basic proportions, but in addition some additional ingredients are added that change the taste of the dish.

It must be said that the pie turns out to be quite high in calories. So, if it is prepared with kefir, it contains 249 kcal per 100 g. And there are recipes in which flour is not added. Due to this, the calorie content of the dish is slightly reduced. And if you reduce the number of eggs, or cook without them at all, then it can be reduced more significantly.

Today I propose to prepare options with different ingredients and tastes. Among them there will be very simple ones, as well as more complex recipes, very original and not often found.

Anyone who loves baking probably knows this recipe by heart. As far as I remember, I used it to bake my very first baked goods, when I was still in the 5th or 6th grade.


And needless to say, the pie turned out great the first time. And this stimulates further culinary experiments.

We will need:

  • kefir – 1 glass
  • flour – 1 cup
  • semolina – 1 glass
  • sugar – 1 glass
  • eggs – 2 pcs
  • salt - a pinch
  • baking soda or baking powder (0.5 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon, respectively)
  • butter – for greasing the mold – 15 g

You can add a pinch of vanillin or a bag of vanilla sugar.


That is, remember it is elementary - one glass of all the main ingredients and 2 eggs. In this case, the size of the glass can be of any volume. The only important thing is that all ingredients will be measured in only one.

Preparation:

It is advisable to remove kefir and eggs from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm up at room temperature. With such products the dough will rise better.

1. Break two eggs into the prepared bowl. Add sugar to them. If you want your baked goods to have a vanilla taste, you can add vanilla or vanilla sugar.


2. Stir first with a spoon so that the sugar does not scatter into different sides. And then beat with a mixer until the mass turns white and all the sugar has dissolved. Or you can beat it with a whisk.

Now we are mixing it with a mixer. And before they didn’t even know such a word. That's why they beat it with a whisk. And even if it didn’t turn out white, they tried to break the sugar until the crystals dissolved.

3. Add kefir. If you have prepared soda, then quench it with vinegar, pour a few drops into a spoon with it, and add to the kefir mass. Stir the mixture. And you can immediately see small bubbles appear on the surface. The soda reacted with sour kefir.


It must be said that it is not necessary to use the freshest kefir. Even if it has been in the refrigerator for a week, you can safely use it for baking. And if there is a little less of it left than a glass, then the missing volume can be filled with sour cream or milk. And it will be even better if the milk has already fermented.

4. Add semolina. And stir again until the lumps disappear and the mixture is homogeneous. Let stand for 5 minutes so that the cereal swells a little.


5. Then add the sifted flour. And if you decide to use baking powder rather than soda, then you also need to sift it along with the flour. Gently stir the flour into the mixture. It will be difficult to mix with a spoon or a whisk. The mass turned out to be quite dense and viscous. And that’s great, that’s how it should be!


6. But in order for the dough to rise well during baking, it is advisable to give it the opportunity to stand for a while. During this time, all the ingredients will disperse better and reveal their full potential.

Sometimes there is no time to wait. And this pie is considered to be “ a quick fix" That’s why sometimes you mix everything at once, without much ceremony, and straight into the oven. And even in such spartan conditions, he always succeeds.

But if you have time, then let the dough sit, the cake will turn out more fluffy and crumbly.

I usually leave the dough for 30 minutes. During this time, the cereal will disperse, and the flour will become more sticky, viscous, and therefore homogeneous.

7. While the dough is resting, prepare the mold. As a rule, I bake these pies in a silicone mold. It does not stick and rises perfectly. And for me it is also important that it comes out of this form without any problems. It just simply “jumps” out of it.

But still, to be sure, it is better to grease the mold with butter. Firstly, the pie will probably be easy to take out after cooking, and secondly, it will acquire the pleasant aroma of so-called home-baked goods.

8. You should also preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance. And now there are ovens that are not preheated. So look at what you have. Typically, the oven should be preheated for about 15 minutes, setting the temperature to 180 degrees.

9. When the dough has settled, pour it into a greased pan and put it in the oven to bake. Baking time is usually 35 - 40 minutes, depending on how the particular oven bakes. If you already know for sure about all the features of your stove, then you can set a timer for this time and go about your business.


If you are just getting acquainted with the oven, then it is better to observe the process. Although it is not recommended to open it for 20 minutes.

During this time, the dough gains strength and rises to make our baked goods fluffy and airy. Below is a video in which you can see in fast motion how the cake grows and browns.

10. The finished pie should have a beautiful golden brown crust. Do not overcook it, otherwise the crust will be tough and the dessert will lose some of its merits.


You can check if it is ready by piercing it in the middle with a toothpick. Fully baked dough will not leave a single mark on it. And this will be a signal that it’s time to take out the baked goods.

11. Take it out, let it stand in the mold for about 5 minutes. Firstly, both the mold and the baking will cool slightly, and secondly, the cake will move away from the walls.

Then it will be possible to get it easily. To do this, you can cover it with a cutting board and turn the pan over. When the manna remains “upside down” on the board, place a large flat plate on top and turn it over again.


In the future, serve it in it, cutting it into pieces.

You can eat the pie both hot and cold. Wash it down with tea, milk, and coffee - whichever you prefer.


You can make any cakes on this basis. To do this, the cake is cut into two parts lengthwise, and each of them is coated with prepared cream. Decorate to your liking. A very convenient baking option for those who are just taking their first steps. And also when there are guests on the doorstep, or you just want to please your loved ones with something over evening tea.

Lush crumbly manna without flour, cooked in the oven

We already started talking about calories today. So this recipe is exactly where we will try to reduce them. To put it simply, we will prepare a pie without flour. Interesting?! And I was very interested in what would happen when I cooked this way for the first time. There was no certainty about the result, and there were continuous doubts.


We will need:

  • kefir – 1.5 cups
  • semolina – 2 cups
  • sugar – 1 glass
  • egg – 3 pcs
  • baking powder for dough – 1 sachet 18 g
  • lemon zest – 1 teaspoon without a slide
  • salt - a pinch
  • butter - for greasing the pan

I will bake it in a muffin tin with a diameter of 24 cm.

For decoration I used ready-made vanilla frosting and chopped nuts. But this is optional.

Preparation:

As you can see, the proportions of the previous recipe are practically preserved. We remember what they are - 4 glasses and 2 eggs. There are 4.5 cups and 3 eggs. And there is an explanation for this. Semolina swells more than flour, so add an extra half glass of kefir and 1 egg. If you add less, the dough will not be as liquid as desired, and it will be more difficult for the cake to rise.

That is, everything is easily explained. And so, let's start cooking.

1. Break the eggs into a bowl that is convenient for using as a mixer. If you don’t have such an assistant, you can use a whisk. In this case, it will take a little more time to knead, but the result will be the same.


2. Add sugar and a pinch of salt and mix the mixture using a mixer. Beat until all the sugar crystals have dissolved and the mixture turns white.


3. Add kefir. I took it out of the refrigerator in advance, just like the eggs. In this state, kneading will occur faster and easier, and ready dough It will turn out more airy, which will ultimately affect the quality of baking.

Continue kneading using a mixer or whisk.

4. Add lemon zest. I already have it ready-made, and I just pour it into the mass. But it doesn’t always happen, and in this case you just need to grate the skin of a clean lemon on a fine grater. Just rub one yellow part, the white part is bitter and not suitable for desserts.


Instead of lemon zest, you can use orange zest or vanilla sugar. In this case, you can add a whole bag of sugar. Or vanillin on the tip of a knife. Any flavoring aromatic additive will be in place.

5. Also add baking powder for the dough. And in this case, one teaspoon, as usual, is not enough. Add the whole bag at once. Semolina is heavier than flour, and baking powder will give it the strength to rise. Add that too.

Continue whisking the mixture until it becomes homogeneous. There should be no lumps left in it, and many small bubbles will appear on the surface. The dough is alive, and that's good. All processes will continue and the baked goods will rise perfectly.

6. And to do this, let’s leave it to infuse for 30 minutes. During this time, the cereal will swell and will not be hard in the finished baked goods.


7. You can bake in any form convenient for baking. It could be ordinary Silicone molds, and before they just baked it in a frying pan.

I decided to use a springform pan that has a special insert for baking cupcakes. Its size is 24 cm in diameter.

The mold must be generously greased with butter.

8. Cut a piece of parchment paper and line it on a baking sheet. If the mixture leaks out, it will not stain it. Place the greased mold on a sheet of paper.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

9. Pour the dough into the mold in an even layer and place in the oven to bake for 35 minutes. During baking, do not open the oven door for at least 20 - 25 minutes.


During this time, the dough rises, and if the door is opened, it will fall. In this case, the pie will turn out low and hard.

10. When 35 minutes have passed, open the oven door, take out the cake and pierce it right in the middle with a toothpick. It should go in easily and come out just as easily. At the same time, there should be no dough residue left on it. If the dough catches on the toothpick, let it sit for another 5 minutes.

Also, the surface of the pie should not be overcooked. It has a pleasant ruddy appearance that pleases the eye.


11. Let the cake stand for 5 minutes directly in the pan. Then disconnect its clamp and remove the form. Transfer the pie to a plate.


In principle, in this form you can eat it immediately, without even waiting for it to cool down. But today I’m preparing it for you, dear readers. That's why I wanted to decorate it. At least in the simplest way.

12. I had two bags of ready-made vanilla frosting and they were also walnuts. I crushed about a handful of nuts with a rolling pin, and mixed the glaze with milk.


And when the cake cooled slightly, I poured all the prepared glaze onto its surface. And sprinkled nuts on top.


Now you can taste the manna. It is still slightly warm, and that makes it even tastier. We cut it into pieces and enjoy the taste. I'll try to describe how it turned out.

Firstly, it rose perfectly and has many holes, or air sinuses, inside. Secondly, thanks to these sinuses, the sugar from the glaze penetrated to the very bottom, and thanks to this, the cake turned out to be simply incredibly juicy. It was as if it had been soaked in some kind of jam or syrup.


And so, we got a fluffy, airy, juicy, crumbly dessert according to this recipe. I highly recommend making one for you too. He's great! Cook it at least once, and then you will cook it always. I can’t say “only his”, because all the recipes that I am sharing with you today are also simply incredibly delicious!

Delicious airy semolina pie with blueberries

And according to that recipe, I decided to make manna with blueberries. But this is not dogma. You can cook with any berry and any fruit. It turns out very tasty to cook it this way with apples and cinnamon. You can replicate this by adding chopped apples instead of blueberries. It will work out new taste, and a new dessert!


There is only one recipe, and each time adding a new fruit or berry ingredient, you will get new delicious baked goods!

We will need:

  • kefir – 1 glass
  • semolina – 1 glass
  • flour – 1 cup
  • sugar – 1 glass
  • egg – 2 pcs
  • baking powder – 1 heaped teaspoon
  • salt - a pinch
  • any frozen or fresh berries (I used blueberries) - 1 cup
  • butter - for greasing

Preparation:

This recipe is very similar to the first one. Therefore, in order not to delay your time detailed description, I will touch on only the main points in this chapter. And if you decide to cook according to it, then see all the nuances in the first recipe.

1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add sugar and salt and mix everything using a whisk or mixer. It is desirable that the sugar dissolves completely and the mass becomes lighter.

2. Add kefir, stir. Then add baking powder. Beat with a mixer until bubbles appear.


3. It's time to add semolina. Pour it into the mixture, stir and let stand for 5 minutes.

4. Then sift the flour directly into the mixing bowl. This must be done to saturate it with oxygen and to further raise the dough.

Stir again until the lumps disappear. Leave to infuse for 30 minutes.

5. While the dough is infusing, prepare the mold, namely, grease it with butter. You can also put the oven on to warm up. We will need a temperature of 180 degrees.

6. After 30 minutes, stir the thick mixture again with a spoon and add the berries. In summer it can be any fresh berries or fruits. But it's winter now and I have frozen blueberries. So we will use it as an additive.


I don’t defrost it on purpose so as not to color the dough. If the berry melts, the dough will not be very pleasant purple. But I want it to have a familiar look. That's why I add berries straight from the freezer. Then mix the dough and immediately pour into the mold.


7. And without further delay, put it in a preheated oven. Within 20 minutes the dough will have time to rise without having time to color. And only by that time the berries will finally warm up, but there will be nowhere for them to burst. Therefore, they will remain intact, and as if they had just been brought from the forest.

During the remaining 15 minutes of baking, they will warm up and the cake will have a general flavor component. That is total time baking time will be 35 minutes. Well maybe 40.

8. After this time, take out the cake and test its readiness with a toothpick, piercing it in the thickest place, that is, in the center. If we take out a toothpick and there is no batter left on it, then our pie is ready. It can be taken out completely.


9. Let it stand for 5 - 7 minutes. Then turn it over onto a cutting board, and then turn it over again onto a plate.

You can decorate it to your liking, or you can serve it just like that. In my opinion, he is already handsome.

The cut shows that the dough is not colored, it is light and eye-catching. The berries burst, but only slightly. This means they are fully warmed up and ready to be tasted. Along with the pie, of course.


10. Cut the dessert into pieces. We see that it has risen well and looks lush. The taste turns out to be very pleasant, slightly crumbly, with a pleasant light sourness.

I don’t want to boast, because it’s immodest, but the pie turned out very tasty! The thing is that I really love . And I have them on my blog (two links, because there are two different recipes). So I decided to combine my two favorite methods.

And the result turned out just great! I hope that you too will be able to appreciate it.

An original recipe for incredibly fluffy “wet” manna

And this recipe will most likely not leave anyone indifferent. And it’s possible that you haven’t even heard of this. This is a recipe for “wet” manna. Ask why “wet”? Yes, because there is a secret in the recipe.


And I will share it today. And I will not only write how to cook according to it, but I will also show how to do it in a video that was filmed specifically during the preparation of this article.

We will need:

  • kefir – 1 glass
  • cream – 1 glass
  • semolina – 1 glass
  • flour – 1 cup
  • sugar – 1 glass
  • egg – 2 pcs
  • butter – 50 g
  • vanilla sugar – 0.5 – 1 sachet
  • baking powder for dough – 1 teaspoon
  • salt – 0.5 teaspoon

For decoration we will need 3 - 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Preparation:

1. Sift flour into a bowl. Add salt and baking powder to it. Both can also be sifted if desired. Add the prepared cereal here and mix. That is, in one bowl we mixed all the bulk ingredients.

2. Pour kefir here. It is better to take it out of the refrigerator in advance so that it is not very cold. It will be ideal for him room temperature. Set the resulting mixture aside and proceed to the next stage of preparation.


Mix the mass. It will turn out thick and viscous, with a rather uneven structure. But for now we’ll leave it as it is.


3. Break the eggs into a separate bowl. It is also better to take them out of the refrigerator in advance.


Add regular and vanilla sugar to them. Instead of vanilla sugar, you can simply add a pinch of vanillin. In this case, the finished pie will be less sweet.


Although, if you have a sweet tooth, then you can add a whole bag. The baked goods will be sweeter and have a stronger aroma.

4. To prevent sugar from scattering all over the table, first mix the mass with a spoon or spatula, and then connect the mixer or whisk to work. We need a homogeneous sweet egg mixture that has turned white from beating and all the sugar crystals have dissolved in it.

5. Add it to the mixture, which has been set aside for a while.


Mix both masses with a mixer until you obtain a homogeneous, smooth and fairly fluffy mixture without lumps.


6. Add melted butter and mix again. This time until it is completely beaten into the mixture, there should be no oily circles left.


Reserve about a teaspoon of oil to grease the pan.

7. The resulting test must be given time to brew. It will be enough for him to stand for 15 - 20 minutes. During this time, the cereal will swell, and the same will happen with the flour. The dough will become more homogeneous and flexible and bake better.


8. Grease the mold with the reserved butter and pour the dough into it.

9. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake until done. Depending on the properties of the oven, this will take approximately 40 minutes. It took me exactly that long.

After this time, take out the cake and check it with a toothpick to see if it is ready. If you pierce it in the center and the toothpick remains dry, then it’s time to finally take it out.


10. But we still have cream left, and we haven’t forgotten about it. Their turn has come. They need to be poured directly on top of the golden brown crust of the pie. But as we see, the liquid is not retained. It is immediately absorbed and soon not a single drop remains on the surface.


11. After this “alchemical” procedure, let the cake stand and rest for 10 minutes right in the mold. Then we turn it over onto a wooden board.


Remove the pan and turn it over onto a large flat plate and let it cool a little more.


As you can see in the photo, the cake turned out very fluffy and beautiful. I already want to try it as soon as possible.

12. But I also wanted to decorate it so that I could serve it for evening tea in all its glory. And as a decoration I prepared powdered sugar. So I just sprinkle it on a slightly cooled surface and go put the kettle on. It's time to brew some tea and invite your family for an evening tea party.


This is how our dessert turned out in cross section. As you can see, it is very tall, airy and curvy. We always dream of getting all these qualities in any baked goods. And this recipe did not let us down.

Let's try! The taste of the dessert is delicate, slightly velvety and creamy. And inside the dough itself is slightly moist, that is, juicy. The cream gave him such an amazing effect. It would seem such a simple manipulation, but what an interesting flavor combination it turned out to be.


I really wanted to decorate it, so I sprinkled it with powdered sugar. And for me it turned out a little sweeter than I would like. I don't really like sweets. Therefore, if you have a sweet tooth, you can sprinkle it. And if not, then come up with another decoration, or don’t decorate at all.

Video on how to make a lush and delicious homemade pie

And here is the promised video. Here the entire cooking process is not only told, but also shown. Thanks to this, it will be very easy to cook according to it, even for someone who has never prepared such baking before, or anything at all.

Let me remind you that this pie is called “Wet”. And he got this interesting name because after it is baked it is filled with cream. By the way, you can fill it not only with them. Milk is also excellent for these purposes. At the same time, its fat content is much lower than that of cream. This means you can remove extra calories.

Well, how do you like the recipe?! Did you like it? He's really good. And making a pie using it is quite easy and simple. And I think that it will be useful to every housewife. And if you liked it, then like and subscribe to our channel. While he is still very young, this recipe is only the fourth. But we promise that there will be a lot of interesting and tasty things on it.

Crumbly kefir pie with apples, without eggs and flour

And according to this recipe you can make a pie without eggs and without flour. Yes Yes exactly. Of course, it won’t turn out as fluffy and airy as the previous ones, but its taste will be simply magnificent. But it will be very crumbly and juicy.


We will need:

  • kefir – 500 ml
  • semolina – 2 cups (400 g)
  • sugar – 160 g (200 g glass)
  • vanilla sugar – 25 g (1 sachet)
  • butter – 100 g
  • baking powder for dough – 1 teaspoon (can be heaped)
  • salt - a pinch
  • apples – 2 pcs.
  • powdered sugar – 2 tbsp. spoons (for sprinkling)

Preparation:

1. Pour kefir into a bowl convenient for kneading dough. You can take it with any fat content. I didn't have enough kefir today, so I added about half a glass of sour cream. So that in total I get two 250 gram glasses.

Keep this in mind, you can add a little fermented milk, drinking yogurt, sour cream, and even milk. But in the latter case, you will need to add a little semolina to achieve the desired dough consistency.

2. Pour the cereal into a bowl. It can be measured using glasses of the same volume as kefir was measured. Mix the mixture until smooth. You can simply stir with a spoon.


We don't have eggs, so we don't need to beat anything. You can just use a spoon.

Leave the mixture to sit for 30 minutes. The cereal should swell. In this case, it will not be felt, and it will be easier for the dough to rise.


3. After 30 minutes, add salt, vanilla and sugar, as well as baking powder. Please note that we take not a 250 gram glass of sugar, but a 200 gram glass. We also use vanilla sugar, and its weight is 25 grams. Therefore, if you have a 250 ml measuring cup, then first pour vanilla sugar into it, and then add regular sugar. It will turn out complete.


4. Melt the butter. This can be done in a water bath. It is not recommended to do this in the microwave. Although sometimes, of course, you use it.

It is better to use oil with 82.5% fat content. This is a product good quality and healthier than 72%, which uses trans fats.

5. Add oil to the resulting mixture and stir until color and consistency are uniform. Leave a little oil to grease the pan.


6. Grease the mold and pour the resulting mixture into it.


7. Peel the apples, remove the core and cut into slices. Place them on the surface in any order. There is a method in which at first only part of the dough is poured into the mold. Then the apples are laid out and filled with the remaining dough.


But I wanted to make the pie beautiful, so I chose the first option.

8. My oven is already preheated to 180 degrees. Place the pan in it and bake for 35 - 40 minutes until the top of the pie is golden brown and the dough inside is cooked through. You can check readiness with a toothpick.


9. Take out the baked goods and let them stand for a while right in the pan. 5 - 7 minutes will be enough. Then take out the pie and place it on a plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can eat it straight hot, or cooled down if necessary.

In our country, such manna is eaten in 10 minutes, while the tea in the glass has not completely cooled down.


And this happens every time I cook it. Last time I cooked it today. So the recipe is piping hot. The pie is no longer there, but its aroma is still preserved in the house. By the way, its aroma is very pleasant. It can only smell like that homemade baking with apples.

The taste of the pie is very delicate, creamy, with a slight sourness. But it depends on the type of apple. I baked it with small-sized Semerenko apples. The apples themselves are sweet and sour and very crumbly.

The pie turned out just as crumbly. It is very difficult to describe this or that taste in words. Therefore, I advise you to prepare such manna, and be sure to try it. I think that this recipe will not leave you indifferent.

7. Pour out all the filling at once. And then lay out the remaining dough. It’s good if the filling is completely covered.


8. When baking in the “Redmond” multicooker, set the “Multicook” mode. And bake at 125 degrees for 1 hour. If you have a multicooker of another brand, then bake in it according to the instructions.

Bon appetit!

From childhood, everyone remembers the words “...scraped the bottom of the barrel,...kneaded the dough...”. Ancient Russian cuisine is unusually simple in technology, the products that are used in it do not need to be found three or nine lands away, especially in our time, and economy and frugality are its main credo.

Old acquaintances: recipes for making the well-known manna

As children, we were all fed semolina porridge. Some people remember with horror the nasty lumps in kindergarten semolina, while others will fondly remember the vanilla delicate delicacy prepared by their mother. How is semolina useful? Let's talk today about this and about ways to prepare the well-known semolina pie.

Semolina is the only cereal that is digested in the lower intestine. Moving through the intestines, semolina cleanses it of mucus and removes excess fat, so it is recommended to be consumed as a mandatory food product for people suffering from diseases of the stomach and intestines.

How to cook manna with kefir

Dough with flour is considered more capricious in cooking. With semolina, baked goods rise more easily, so the pie turns out very fluffy. You can easily knead dough from it without fear of ruining your new manicure. In addition to semolina, the recipe contains butter, eggs, sugar and flour. Sometimes baking powder and soda are added. Cooking manna with kefir in the oven has several features:

  1. For a variety of taste, the pie is made with pumpkin, apples, chocolate pieces, berries, raisins, candied fruits or even cabbage.
  2. To make the pie more cake-like, you can sprinkle the top with powdered sugar, jam, icing or fondant.
  3. To obtain a juicy biscuit, it is soaked sour cream, cognac, rum, condensed milk or jam.

Recipe for manna with kefir with photo

According to the traditional recipe, the semolina is first soaked cold water and let it sit for a couple of hours. This way it will swell, and grains will not be felt in the finished baked goods.

Coconut-raspberry manna recipe


Ingredients:

  • semolina - 1 cup
  • flour - 1 cup
  • coconut flakes - 1.5 tbsp. spoons
  • sour cream - 1 glass
  • sugar - 1 glass
  • chicken eggs - 2 pcs
  • baking powder - 1 tbsp. spoon
  • vanilla sugar - 1 pack
  • raspberries - 1.5 cups

How to prepare coconut-raspberry manna: to start, take 2 medium eggs - put them in a bowl and beat with a mixer (on average speed) until foam forms.

Add sugar, sour cream and beat everything thoroughly with a mixer again. Next, add vanilla sugar, sift the flour and baking powder directly into the dough and mix thoroughly.

Add semolina and coconut flakes. Now you need to let the dough stand for a while so that the semolina swells and the dough thickens.

Meanwhile prepare the mold. If you have a silicone one, you don’t have to lubricate it. Cover with Teflon or other parchment paper and grease with oil, then sprinkle with a little semolina.

Place in pan and level with a spatula. Now let's do the raspberries. If you have it fresh (when it’s in season), wash and dry it. If frozen, then defrost and dry a little.

Place the berries on top of the dough. Bake the manna for 35-40 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Allow the manna to cool slightly in the mold (about 30 minutes). Carefully remove the cake from the mold and transfer to a plate.

  • When preparing bulk dough, it is important to maintain the same ratio of liquid and solid ingredients. Remember:
  • Flour, cocoa, semolina, starch - dry ingredients;
  • Sugar, eggs, honey, butter, milk or sour cream, fresh berries consist mainly of water, so they are considered the liquid part of the dough.
  • Manna dough, as a rule, should have the consistency of sour cream. This is a pourable dough, and the principle of its preparation is similar to preparing a sponge cake. You can add eggs to it without beating, but if you beat them first and carefully add them to the dough, trying not to precipitate the foam, then the manna will be more fluffy and tender.

Mannik with kefir is a classic pie that has been prepared for many, many hundreds of years. During this time, a huge number of recipes for its preparation have appeared, and from a simple everyday dish, manna has grown into a real masterpiece, which is served today even in the most elite restaurants in the world.

8. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees, it is important that the dough is placed exactly in warm place, then the manna will quickly rise and there will not only be beautiful shape, but also incredibly light and airy in taste.

9. While the oven is heating up, pour the mixture into the mold and set to bake for about forty minutes.
Attention! Depending on the type of oven and the diameter of the pan, baking time may take less or more than specified. You can check the readiness of the pie using a match or toothpick.

10. Open the oven without removing the pie from it, let it cool and only then put it on a beautiful dish.

11. We decorate the manna at our discretion. It can be sprinkled with powdered sugar, sesame seeds, coconut flakes, greased with boiled condensed milk, poured over chocolate, etc.

Pie ingredients:

  • two bananas;
  • a glass of sugar;
  • 500 ml. kefir;
  • semolina - two glasses;
  • butter – 70 g;
  • vanilla on the tip of a knife;

Add softened or melted butter, sugar, vanillin, baking powder or soda, and chopped bananas into the mature mixture. Mix the ingredients until you see a thick, homogeneous mass in front of you.

Pour the dough into a mold greased with vegetable or butter and bake in an oven preheated to 180 or 200 degrees. Baking time is approximately 35-45 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients to the thick paste and beat with a mixer. Before adding, melt the butter, crumble the cookies, but do not add to the composition itself yet.

Grease the mold with oil, sprinkle a little semolina, pour in the dough, sprinkle grated cookies on top.

Bake the chocolate semolina pie at 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

Decorate the finished dish as desired. You can use the same cherries that are used in the dough itself, or, for example, powdered sugar, any confectionery topping, etc.

Delicious manna with coconut

Take for preparation:

  • 250 ml. low-fat kefir (you can use low-fat kefir);
  • wheat flour, sifted - a glass;
  • a glass of semolina;
  • a glass of sugar;
  • a bag of coconut flakes (approximately 100-120 g);
  • one egg;
  • odorless vegetable oil – 80-100 ml.;
  • sachet of baking powder – 10-15 g.
  • a pinch of salt.

Heat the kefir a little, pour it into the semolina and mix. The mass should be thick (thicker than sour cream), but without lumps.

Add coconut shavings and mix thoroughly so that the shavings are distributed throughout the mixture. Let these products stand for an hour at room temperature.

After an hour, mix in the egg, sugar, baking powder, sifted flour, vegetable oil. It is best to mix the ingredients for the dough with a blender or mixer, as the end result should be a well-mixed mass without lumps or clots. You need to add ingredients into the dough one by one.

Pour the dough into the mold and place in a preheated oven. Adjust the baking time yourself depending on the thickness of the poured layer and the temperature in the oven. It will take about an hour at 180 degrees. When a beautiful dark crust forms on the pie, check the manna with a match; if there is no dough left on the match after you stick it into your culinary masterpiece, the dish is ready.

You can serve coconut manna with syrups, chocolate, and decorate with the same coconut shavings. Allow the pie to cool before serving.

A simple recipe for manna on kefir with apples in a slow cooker (video)

All four recipes presented are perfect for baking this sweetness, in the oven, and in a slow cooker. The only thing that is important to take into account when preparing manna with kefir using an electrical appliance is that the bowls of multicookers, as a rule, are not large, like oven forms, and therefore it is better to take half the portion of products for manna.

To make semolina with kefir tender, crumbly, aromatic, rich, and tasty, you need to stir the soaked semolina several times while it is swelling. This will allow you to get a homogeneous crumbly mass, and not a solid lump of semolina.

When replacing baking powder with soda, know that 1 portion of slaked soda replaces 3 parts of ready-made baking powder. Depending on this, select the correct portions of these products.

Suddenly, there is no butter at home, we will replace it with margarine for baking.

You can use any fermented milk product in manna, for example, sour cream or natural yogurt. You should add just a little lemon to the finished dough ( lemon acid). In this case, the pie, in its splendor and tenderness, will in no way be inferior to manna prepared with kefir.

Mannik can be prepared with a variety of fillings, jam, jam, chocolate, condensed milk. To do this, cut the finished cooled pie into 2 parts and spread your layers with your favorite filling.

You can add raisins, candied fruits, fruits and berries to the dough for manna, but do not overdo it with adding these products, as your pie may not rise.

These are the delicious pie recipes I shared. Don’t be lazy, make this manna with kefir (any option), and please yourself and your friends and loved ones.

Good luck and all the best!
