Delicious dough for cheesecakes: proven recipes

Everyone loves cheesecakes, but not everyone succeeds in them. The reason for failure is usually in the test. To make it tasty and tender, use culinary secrets and recipes, proven by more than one generation.

To cook it up, maybe it will, of course. We don’t argue. Only, for some reason, one of them succeeds with a bang, while the other - “thanks, no need”. But the recipe, it would seem, is the same. By the way, it is already many hundreds of years old. True, when exactly humanity got into the taste of cottage cheese mixed with an egg and fried in the form of cakes, it is not known for certain. But, judging by the name, it happened a very long time ago. Just in those days, when there was no cheese in its usual form, but, according to the research of historians, there was only "cheese curd". A lot of delicious things were prepared from it, which were not called floridly: cheese dishes. Among them were our "syrniki". It was only under Peter I that they learned to make rennet cheeses from cottage cheese - similar to what we eat now. And the words "curd" and "cheese" began to mean different products. But curd cheese pancakes have remained “syrniki” - loved by many hot and cold, with sour cream, honey and even ... with garlic and dill.

And in order to finally clarify what he is - the main secret of delicious cheese cakes, we visited the kitchens of the five best restaurants in the capital and watched how famous chefs prepare them.

Syrniki- everyone's favorite instant dish, but not all of them turn out to be airy and tasty, while the syrniki should retain the curd taste, and not turn into pancakes. Therefore, it is very important to know the secrets of cooking, which will help make perfect cheese pancakes out of ordinary ones.

Delicate curd cakes - how to choose cottage cheese for curd cakes

The very first and main secret: curd cheese for cheesecakes should not be greasy, the maximum is 9% fat! For cooking, we take cottage cheese without lumps or bring it to this state: beat with a blender or grind through a sieve. This is an indispensable condition for the juiciness and taste of the cheese pancakes.

And still if the curd is greasy and wet, you can first weigh it so that the excess whey glass.

Sugar in cheesecakes - to be or not to be?

If you want to make delicious cottage cheese pancakes quickly and are tormented by the question: to use sugar or not? Here is the answer: we use sugar at a maximum of one tablespoon, for a ruddy color and to avoid burning. Sugar can be easily replaced with honey (as for such), honey will need a maximum of 2 tablespoons.

Is flour or semolina suitable for tender cottage cheese pancakes?

The tandem of these ingredients is the best for the right cheese cakes: 2: 1

In this case, they turn out to be lush and neat, easily molded. Just do not forget, the decoy needs to be given time to activate, then feel free to get down to business! But if you plan to bake, it is best to limit yourself to semolina, as it will make them airy and the "cap" will not fall off!

How to add eggs to cheese cakes?

How to bake cheese cakes - drive in eggs right away or divide into yolks and whites?

For correct cheese cakes, eggs must always be beaten separately: yolks into cream, whites until stable peaks. We boldly mix the yolks with the cottage cheese, carefully lay out the whites and mix from bottom to top to preserve the airiness of the products.

Breading for cheesecakes

Delicate cottage cheese pancakes can be made without breading, if they are baked in the oven. But if you decide to make fluffy cottage cheese pancakes in a pan, you need breading. as a rule, housewives choose wheat flour for breading cheesecakes, but consider equally attractive options:

Cheesecakes are an insidious dish. Some people always succeed without any problems. And others, as my friend Katya says, are haunted by the curse of cheese. Once upon a time it haunted me too. The cheesecakes were damp on the inside, burnt on the outside, or, even worse, spread over the pan.

But over time, my hand got full, my favorite recipe picked up, the perfect cottage cheese was found ...

And my post today is for those who are still haunted by the curse of cheese.

The composition of the syrniki (if we talk about the classics, not PP-variants), as a rule, is unchanged - cottage cheese, egg, sugar, flour. And even the proportions are approximately the same for all - one egg per pack of cottage cheese and a spoonful of flour and sugar.

Cottage cheese. In my opinion, the most delicious cheese cakes are obtained from 9% cottage cheese. Moreover, the cottage cheese should be the most common - in a paper briquette. I prefer two brands - Yours Sincerely and Tevye Milkman. If we talk globally about the properties of cottage cheese, then it should be fresh and with a short shelf life (we look at the date of manufacture and terms up to 5 days) and sufficiently dense. Indeed, even among my favorite brands, I sometimes meet wet cottage cheese. Therefore, without hesitation, I sort through the packs, pressing my fingers on the cottage cheese and choose the densest one.

Egg. By experience, I came to the conclusion that the most delicious cheese cakes for me are obtained with egg yolks, without protein. Firstly, protein has a pretty decent (again, in my opinion) effect on the density of cheesecakes. Secondly, with the yolks, the cheesecakes themselves turn out brighter, like the sun. And the fat content of the product increases. And cheesecakes, in my understanding, are not a dietary dish. A sort of breakfast dessert.

Flour. Despite the great popularity of PP-cheese pancakes with a variety of other flours, the most delicious for me are still cheese pancakes with VS wheat flour. I take 1 tbsp for a pack of cottage cheese. without a slide for dough and one more for breading.

Sugar. Since I always eat cheesecakes with a variety of sweet toppings like honey, jam, jelly and just fruits, I don't add sugar to the dough. But I warn you right away, those who are accustomed to sweet dough feel it right away.

To prepare one portion of curd cakes, we need:
200 g cottage cheese 9%,
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp wheat flour sun,
fruits, berries, honey, jam, sour cream, etc. for filing.

1. Knead the curd with a fork.
2. Add the yolk to it and mix thoroughly.
3. Add 1 tbsp to the yellowed curd. flour without a slide (and sugar, if using). Mix thoroughly.
4. Divide the mass into 4 parts, roll dense balls out of them, without cracks.
5. Pour 1 tbsp into a separate plate. flour.
6. Dip the balls one by one into the flour, flatten, roll in flour on both sides.
7. Shake off excess flour and cook in your favorite way.

Spun cheese pancakes

Yarn - Russian deep fat. Fry the product in a large amount of oil so that it covers 1/3 of it.

Spiced cheesecakes are a kind of cheesecakes from your grandmother. Bright, ruddy, with a crust. Taste of childhood.

How to cook? We take a frying pan with high sides, put it on a lower than medium heat, pour in the oil and wait until it is calcined. If you put it on a high heat, the oil, of course, heats up quickly, but the curd cakes in the pan will burn too. So we have to be patient and wait. To test, throw in a micro slice of white bread. If there are bubbles around it, the oil is ready.

We spread the cheese cakes in butter, cover with a lid. As soon as they are browned on one side, turn over and fry again under the lid. Thanks to the lid, the cheesecakes will rise slightly. Thus, the syrniki are cooked for about 10-15 minutes.

There are such syrniki tastes best with jam, since the spicy taste is bright, and it also needs a bright company. Classic or, as in my photo, whipped up. I fry the diced apples in butter for a minute, add a handful of lingonberries, a few cloves and sugar to taste. I cook over medium heat, stirring, no more than five minutes.

Fried cheesecakes

If yarn cheesecakes are grandma's option, then fried in butter is my mother's.

They prepare even easier. Melt the butter at a speed. We let him hiss. We spread the cheese cakes and cook on a low-medium heat, covering with a lid (or not) on both sides until golden brown. The time is approximately the same - 10-15 minutes.

The taste of such syrniki turns out to be more delicate, therefore, toppings can be any. I have sea buckthorn coolies. Punch the sea buckthorn with a blender, rub through a sieve and mix with powdered sugar. In addition, she served sour cream.

Cheesecakes in the oven

Cheesecakes in the oven are a very popular option for their preparation today. I cook in it with my parents. And since I don't have an oven myself, I used the same function of my Tefal grill (second temperature mode), so don't be surprised by the stripes.

In the oven, cheesecakes are prepared very simply. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, lay out the syrniki and cook for about 15 minutes, turning once "in the middle of the path".

These cheesecakes are very tender, airy and grateful in terms of accepting any toppings - from jam to fresh fruit. In my version, cherry jelly according to Tanya's recipe lapundrik ... Cherries, sugar to taste, a pinch of cinnamon, a little water and cornstarch - over low heat until boiling and then another couple of minutes.

Cheesecakes in the airfryer

And this is my favorite and fastest version of syrniki. Especially for the happy owners of a Philips Airfryer.

5 minutes at 180 degrees in a preheated airfryer. I showed the recipe step by step.

Delicate, airy, delicate. I eat almost always with seasonal fruits, berries and fragrant honey.

I hope the curse of the cheesecake won't befall you again.
