If there is no milk or eggs in your refrigerator, this is not a reason to give up homemade baked goods. There are many recipes for flour dishes that do not include these products. You can make unleavened tortillas, cookies, cakes, or other items. Based on the basic recipes, it's easy to come up with your own interesting variation by adding the products that are available.
Rolls with raisins and nuts
These original cookies are made without eggs or milk, but the dough is tasty and crumbly. As a filling, you can use any nuts or finely chopped dried fruits.
You will need:
- 200 g of butter;
- 1 glass of sour cream;
- 0.5 cups of sugar;
- 0.5 tsp of slaked soda;
- 4 glasses of wheat flour;
- 0.75 cups seedless raisins;
- 0.75 walnut kernels;
- powdered sugar for sprinkling.
Mash softened butter with sugar, add sour cream and soda, slaked with vinegar or lemon juice. Gradually add the sifted flour and knead the dough. Collect it in a ball, wrap with cling film and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Rinse and dry the raisins. Fry the peeled walnuts in a pan or dry in the oven, then chop coarsely with a knife. Roll the chilled dough into a circle on a floured board. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into segments. Put raisins and nuts on the wide side of each cone segment, roll the blank into a neat tube and put it on a greased sheet. Bake products in an oven preheated to 200 ° C. Remove the finished cookies from the baking sheet, chill on the board and serve, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Puff pastry with jam
This cake should be cooked 10-12 hours before serving. Dry crumbly cakes should be well saturated with jam.
You will need:
- 3 glasses of wheat flour;
- 450 g butter margarine or butter;
- 1, 5 glasses of water;
- a pinch of salt;
- juice of 0.5 lemon;
- 1, 5 cups of thick sweet jam.
Sift flour on a board in the form of a slide. Put butter or margarine on it and chop into crumbs with a knife. Collect the flour crumbs, salt, add water mixed with the juice of half a lemon. Knead a heavy, plastic dough quickly. Collect it in a lump, wrap it in plastic and put it in the refrigerator.
After half an hour, divide the dough into 4 equal parts, roll each into a bun. Put the dough in the cold again, and then roll the balls one by one into even cakes of the same size. Moisten the baking sheets with water, spread the cakes on them and bake in the oven preheated to 240 ° C. Each cake will take no more than 6-7 minutes to bake. Put the finished products on a board, cool and grease with jam. Place the cakes on top of each other and let the cake soak. Serve by cutting it into small, even pieces. The surface of the product can be sprinkled with candied fruits or sugar beads.
