And if you consider that this cake should also be New Year's, then you should dig carefully. In order to help you, we offer a very simple and delicious recipe with a photo of yeast fruit pie, which you can cook in one moment and be amazed at its bright beauty.

Ingredients:

For the test:

• Flour - 1 kg.;

• Yeast (live) - 60 g;
• Salt - 1 teaspoon;
• Sugar - 7 tablespoons;

For filling:

• Berries black and red currants, cherries, mulberries, raspberries, gooseberries (what you eat or what you like) - 0.5 kg;
• Sugar - 200 gr.;
• Vanilla is on the tip of a knife.

Cooking the dough:

1. All foods should be at room temperature, remove them from the refrigerator well in advance.
2. Grind yeast with sugar, add kefir, cream, eggs, then flour and salt.
3. Knead the dough until it turns into soft, like plasticine, then add sunflower oil and knead again.
4. If your dough is very soft, add more flour.
5. To do this, add more flour to the cutting board.
6. The dough should be firm.
7. We leave the dough in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, it should come up 2 times during this time.
8. The first time we crush him, but the second we are already making a pie.

Now the filling:

1. Boil 1.5-2 cups of water and dilute sugar in it.
2. Sort the berries and wash.
3. Pour the boiling syrup over the berries (the syrup should cover the berries) and let stand for 15-20 minutes.
4. Then drain, let the syrup drain and the berries dry.
5. You can put simply prepared berries and sprinkle sugar on top of them.
6. But then the dough inside will be "wet", and not everyone likes it.
7. When the dough comes up, divide it into two equal parts. We roll out one to the size of our baking sheet.
8. Grease a baking sheet with oil or lay parchment. We put the cake, berries on it.
9. Roll out the second part of the dough more thinly and cut into strips.
10. We twist the strips with flagella (this is much faster than rolling out the strips from the dough) and spread them on the berries in the form of a grid.
11. Let it come up again, then smear the top with yolk and sprinkle with sugar and vanilla.
12. We put in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Do not look into the oven for the first 15 minutes. Then you can look carefully. When the top is browned, you can take it out. For a crispy bottom, place it on a tea towel instead of on a plate.
13. We still have the syrup in which we soaked the berries, you can make compote from it. Do you have any berries? I think yes. Dilute the syrup with water and put the berries in it, let it boil, put a little vanilla or mint for a raisin - you get a delicious and very natural drink, familiar to many from childhood.

What kind of New Year's holiday can be imagined without cheerful wishes and toasts, funny contests and games? Of course, you should think carefully in advance how to set your guests up for a playful mood. And comic predictions for the New Year, funny wishes for the New Year, which will become a real highlight of the whole festive feast, can help in this.

Each of us expects some kind of miracle from the celebration of the New Year. And it doesn't matter at all how old a person is - five or fifty. Every year, according to the already established tradition, raising our glasses to the chimes, we make our most cherished desires. New Year's wishes about the "realization of dreams" sounds at every step. And what else can you wish your best friend or relative, and even doing it in an original and funny way?

Not only wishes for the New Year and making wishes are considered traditional, but also fortune-telling. The latter, by the way, can generally turn out to be a very interesting occupation. So why don't you and your company tell fortunes on New Year's Eve? You can choose which of the variants of this game is more suitable for your guests: simple or comic predictions for the New Year. But just guessing, for sure, may not be interesting to everyone. It is necessary that your guests will remember you for a long time as the most cheerful and original host. To do this, you can come up with a whole scenario of various funny fortune-telling containing comic predictions for the New Year, and such that even people who are completely devoid of a sense of humor will like it.

In general, contests for the New Year for adults are good because they can be held without leaving the festive table. Before the start of more mobile contests, it is the comic predictions for the New Year that will be able to tune the audience in the right way. And there are a lot of ideas (which we will definitely share) on how to present comic predictions and wishes on the New Year.

Option number 1. You've probably already heard about the cookies of fate or happiness, as they call it. This pastry is baked by placing a prediction or wish for the New Year written on a piece of paper inside. Why don't you prepare similar cookies and serve them over dessert, for example. You can similarly bake, more familiar to us, small nuts with filling and predictions inside.

Option number 2. It is not necessary to hide comic predictions for the New Year in cookies. It will be much easier, and maybe more fun, to use ordinary balloons for this purpose. Prepare the required number of balloons (it is better if there are more of them than guests). Before inflating them, write New Year's predictions on small notes and, rolling into a tube, place one predictions inside the balloon. Do not forget to prepare a pin for the New Year's party for guests to pop the selected balls.

Think carefully about what New Year predictions to offer to guests. If you doubt that all guests will positively perceive comic predictions for the New Year, it is better to do with simple ones. There are a lot of ideas for simple predictions: a car, an apartment, a trip to Italy, the birth of a child…. For both options, there is only one prerequisite: wishes must be extremely positive, because everyone wants to have fun in the New Year. When choosing different New Year's jokes, you need to be sure that all guests will receive them well.

Option number 3. Do not forget about our long tradition of baking a birthday cake with surprises. Various objects are put into the dough of the pie: a coin, a candy, a pod of hot pepper, etc. The special charm of such a pie lies in the excitement, because not everyone will get New Year's predictions and, on the contrary, some may get several at once. You need to eat such a pie carefully so as not to damage a tooth on a coin, for example.

Option number 4. There is a simplified version of the New Year's fortune cake. It is not at all necessary to put objects in the dough. Instead, you can cut a thick sheet of paper into squares, and first, having drawn on each square a funny drawing with a wish for the next year, put them in the cake.

Option number 5. It is also not necessary for you to make New Year's predictions. Weave fortune-telling into New Year's contests for adults by offering guests a game similar to forfeits. Let each guest give you an item. You choose an "oracle" - a player with a good sense of humor, who will be engaged in predicting the fate of the next year. Show the oracle items one by one, without naming the owner. If the oracle is endowed with a healthy sense of humor, then the company is guaranteed to have a lot of fun.

Option number 6. You can arrange, for example, an old Russian fortune-telling, only in a comic style. Let's say place a few bottles with "prophecies" inside. Blindfold the person who wants to know his future, and, having unwound him, let him choose the first bottle that comes across to the touch.

In general, comic predictions for the New Year and New Year contests for adults can be in a variety of ways. The only thing that can limit you is your own imagination.

And in conclusion, we offer you several examples of New Year's predictions and comic wishes that you can use on your holiday.

Now we find the center of the circle, mark it with a circle with a glass. We divide the circle into four equal parts, moving from the glass to the edges. Now we divide each part by four more equal ones. It turned out to be 16 strips.

We take two adjacent ones, twist them in opposite directions and connect the bases in pairs, twist the upper corner down. We do this with all the parts.

Coat with yolk on top and bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

When ready, we take out our pie, grease it with melted butter and let it cool, when ready, you can serve it on the table. Bon Appetit!

They always prepare for the New Year's feast in advance. They buy poultry, meat, fish, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, sausages, prepare salads, etc. A well-set table and deliciously prepared dishes are a kind of guarantee of success and prosperity in the coming year. A good hostess herself knows what her family and friends love, what food and drinks they prefer. The only thing that can be unusual to all this to advise and add - dishes with wishes. They will bring a new, fresh touch to the usual feast, entertain guests and give hope that wishes will definitely come true in the coming year.

What is this anyway? Basically, wishy food is a game. Wishes are written on long small sheets of paper, wrapped in foil and placed in future, mainly small baked goods - pies, cookies, buns. Pastries are placed in a common basket and distributed to guests, warning that there is a roll of foil inside the bun or cookie. The guests themselves take the pastries from the basket.

Wishes can be both serious in the form of wishes to relatives and guests of health, happiness, love, success, etc., or comic, in the form of forfeits, for example, to run into the street after snow, dance, sing, read poetry, kiss a neighbor, or neighbor sitting next to drink a glass of juice without hands. You should focus on the age of the guests, otherwise the jokes may not be understood.

Like any nation, China also had traditions associated with celebrating special events, for example, such as the Harvest Festival - Zhongqiujie, New Year, etc. special recipe with nut butter. At that time, China was under the Mongol yoke. One of the rebels against Mongol rule, Zhu Yuan Zhang, came up with the idea of ​​using moon cakes to transmit secret messages. Thanks to them, the rebels were able to agree and unite to fight for freedom. It was after the overthrow of the Mongol yoke that Zhu Yuan Zhang became the founder of the Chinese Ming dynasty and its first emperor.

There is another beautiful legend that a girl who fell in love with a young man not from her class invented and used cookies of such an unusual shape, into which she put messages for her beloved. And in this way they could convey sweet wishes to each other. Isn't it beautiful?

Then it makes sense that in America, Fortune cookies appeared thanks to one of the Chinese workers who worked in the 40s of the last century on the construction of the Great American Railroad through the Sierra Nevada to California. It was one of the legends, combined with homesickness, that inspired him to revive Fortune Cookies. During the Lunar Festival, poor Chinese workers were unable to bake large traditional moon cakes. But a way out was found - then they took the form of a cookie folded in half for a month, and in which they put a piece of paper with wishes of happiness, goodness, prosperity. This is how the beautiful and ancient tradition of giving Fortune Cookies to each other for the holidays was revived.
And of course, this good tradition has spread in many countries of the world, to give cookies to loved ones with predictions for important events.
Join them and start giving each other these cute sweets.

The Chinese use wise sayings as wishes, here are some of them:

• If you want to be successful, you have to look like you have it.
• Best the enemy of the good.
• The funniest desire is to please everyone.
• What we pray for is what we receive.
• The winner differs from the loser only in that he rises one time more than he falls.
• Remember that every day is the first of the rest of your life.
• In life, there is the main and not the main thing, and we often waste energy on trifles.
• Not as good as I wanted, but not as bad as it could have been!
• Do what you must and come what may.
• People love to win. If you have not decided on the final goal, you have no chance of winning.
• The flip side of the crisis is new opportunities.
• Not everyone can be your friend, but everyone can be your teacher.
• If you truly want to be happy, learn to control your thoughts.
• Everyone is entitled to as much happiness as he is able to give.

To prepare such cookies, it is necessary to prepare wishes written on narrow paper sheets according to the number of baked goods, raw egg white 3 pcs.,
icing sugar 90 g, flour 90 g, salt to taste and vanilla essence - 9 drops.
Beat the whites into a cool foam. Separately combine flour, icing sugar, salt and essence, gradually add to the protein, stirring gently. Prepare 2 non-stick baking trays. At first, spread the dough with a spoon, trying to make the cookies thin and neat round in shape, place the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. At this time, fill in the same second sheet. Remove the first sheet from the oven, while the cookies are hot, use a wooden spatula to wrap the wish sheet in them. It is easy to wrap cookies, just fold the circle first in half, then in half. Do the same with the second portion. Finished cookies will harden and become crispy as they cool.

In addition to cookies, wishes can be put in pies - I think this option is much closer to us than cookies, because pies for the New Year are prepared in many families. As wishes, here you can use pre-made funny wishes, for example, the following: Love will inadvertently come when you don't expect it at all or Make a wish - miracles happen, all hopes in the New Year and dreams come true, We wish that life never ends, trouble and sadness was not encountered on the way, etc.
I offer you the following version of such pies. To prepare them, you will need: wheat flour 400 g, cottage cheese 1 glass, chicken eggs 2 pcs., Butter 3 tbsp., Soda 1/2 tsp., Sugar 2 tbsp. l., salt to taste, ready-made any salty filling, for example meat 600 g, wishes on leaves.
Pour flour with a slide, make a depression in it, add cottage cheese, pounded with egg, sugar, salt, soda and butter. Knead the dough, roll it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. Roll out the dough into a layer 0.5 cm thick, cut out a mug with a medium cup, put on each filling and a foil envelope in which a leaf with a wish is wrapped. Tightly connect the edges of the dough and pinch together. Put the future pies on a greased baking sheet. Grease the surface of the dough with a beaten egg. Bake the pies for about 20 minutes at 200`C.

Can be cooked Rye wishing snack buns... Prepare the following products: filtered water 600 ml., Dry yeast 2 tbsp. l., sugar 1 tbsp. l., rye flour 3 cups, wheat flour 3 cups, cumin seeds 3 tbsp. l., vegetable oil 1 tbsp. l., butter, salt 1 tbsp. l., wishes on pieces of paper.
For dough, mix warm water, yeast, sugar and leave for 20 minutes in a warm place. Combine rye flour, wheat flour, cumin seeds and salt. Pour the dough into the flour mixture, knead until a soft dough is formed. Cover with a napkin and set aside for about 1 hour in a warm place. After the dough rises, divide it into parts, put a foil with a wish in each, roll into a ball. In this way, shape all the buns. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet, 2 cm apart and allow to stand for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 200'C and place the baking sheet in it. Bake until brown on the buns. Brush the surface of the buns with melted butter to soften the crust. Cool the buns and put them in a basket.
