What is brushwood?Today, it's less and less possible to meet him in treats, but just about ten years ago, the favorite delicacy of children on weekends was precisely this crispy gentle miracle. Usually they made firewood on kefir. The recipe was special for every hostess, although it differed only in small things. Traditional were always two points: baked charcoal in the form of diamonds with a hole in the middle, through which one side of the diamond was passed. There were such funny "ears" that could not not be eaten simply because they looked so funny. The second point is a sprinkling. Mandatory sprinkling with powdered sugar. Crisp, freshly made from boiling oil "twigs" easily molded the sugar powder, it mixed with the remains of the oil, heated and turned into something like nectar ... It was simply delicious - to take wood on top, the one that is best sprinkled with powdered sugar, to feel melting in the mouth of a tender dough ... Remember? If yes, then you will never refuse to your relatives in receiving this pleasure - dainties with brushwood.
There are several rules, violation of whichDestructive for those who want to taste delicious firewood. And the first says that it is necessary to make firewood on kefir. The recipe allows the addition of sour cream or milk, but in no case water - otherwise, farewell, splendor and tenderness! The second rule: in the test is necessarily present alcohol - this gives the final product the ability to melt in the mouth. The spoon on kefir is prepared with the addition of sugar - and it affects the color of the final product. Ideal brushwood has a pleasant golden color, in case of a surplus sugar it becomes dark brown, which creates the impression of overcooking. It is also necessary to choose a quality cooking oil: it is best to use olive or melted butter. When frying, you need to remember that the fat splashes and can deliver a very unpleasant sensation to the cook. Therefore, stock up with a noise - it should be used to lower the brushwood in the oil, and when taking out the finished product.
And now the answer to the question is how to cook firewood on yogurt.
The logs on kefir. The recipe is traditional.For the test, you need a glass of kefir at room temperature, add 2 eggs, a spoonful of sugar, a teaspoon of salt and an incomplete spoonful of soda. Also - remember? - one tablespoon of strong alcoholic beverage. Knead the dough pretty cool, but not too "kill" it. The dough "rest" for 20 minutes - and you can start twisting the twigs. All the further by the technology described above.
The logs on kefir. The recipe is exotic.In three eggs we pour 2-3 spoons of thick yogurt (can be replaced with liquid sour cream), 2 spoons of vodka. It is necessary to knead a steep dough - roll it very thinly, to transparency. Then the rolled sheets are cut into small pieces and fried in boiling sunflower oil. On the received quantity of the test it is necessary to prepare and preliminary to boil a bottle of vegetable oil. Finished squares are extracted from boiling oil with a colander. Simultaneously prepare the filling: in equal parts, honey and sugar are gently boiled. Here the technology is more complicated than in the preparation of brushwood proper: it is necessary to constantly monitor that honey does not burn. Each piece is glued together with another using honey. In order to not stick yourself, you need to keep your hands moist.
These are only two recipes, but they are the basis of anyoptions for the preparation of brushwood. There are a lot of their shades: with a lot of eggs and with a little, with or without alcohol, with sour cream and even with milk instead of kefir. However, the result is one: You get an unmatched brushwood, from which you can not tear yourself away until it ends. Cheerful you a crunch!
