Cheesecakes are tasty and at the same time easy to prepare, and therefore they are often served for breakfast. Cheesecakes are eaten with jam, honey, condensed milk, and sour cream. And although it is not difficult to prepare cheese cakes, in order for them to come out juicy, fluffy and soft, you need to know some subtleties and secrets.
Secret one: the cottage cheese must be correct
It is quite natural that for the preparation of a tasty dish, products should only be of good quality. The basis of the cheesecakes is cottage cheese. Therefore, the following requirements are imposed on this product: it must be fresh, not very sour, not fat-free, but not too fatty.
The ideal fat content for cottage cheese is from 7 to 18 percent. The texture of the curd should be without grains, that is, uniform. If the cottage cheese is dry, then it is not difficult to fix it: you need to dilute it with milk, kefir or sour cream.
If the cottage cheese is sour, then this error will have to be masked by the excessive addition of sugar, which is harmful both for health in general and for the figure. And the taste of cottage cheese will become unnoticeable.
If the cottage cheese is too wet, then it is better to immediately get rid of the whey with a colander or gauze, since otherwise you will have to add a lot of flour or semolina, and this will make the dish just rubber.
A little advice
It is advisable to wipe the cottage cheese for syrniki through a sieve so that its consistency is uniform. This is important to make the cheesecakes tasty.
Second secret: juiciness of cheesecakes
Only cheesecakes with a good consistency will be juicy.
Eggs are a necessary ingredient for cheesecakes, not a single recipe is complete without them, because without them, cheesecakes will simply fall apart. Only their surplus is also not welcome due to the possibility of getting a hard test.
If you want the cheese cakes to be rich and beautiful in color, then you can add only egg yolks to them.
Secret # 3: Size Matters
Cheesecakes should not be thick and large in diameter, not only so that they bake better, but also for convenience when turning them over. In order to form the optimal size cheesecakes, scoop up the dough with a tablespoon and roll up small washers.
Secret four: golden brown
To make the crust of the cheesecakes delicious and golden, you need to fry them in a non-stick pan. The bottom of the pan should be thick.
For frying, you need to use high-quality vegetable oil.
The pan is heated well before cooking.
To make the pancakes baked, the pan is covered with a domed lid.
You need to fry only on low heat, then the cheesecakes will not burn and will bake well.
