The most useful and delicious dishes are obtained with fresh milk, although the preparation of melted and condensed milk, recipes of which are popular with chefs, allows you to preserve this product without losing its taste qualities. Dairy products, cheese, butter, sour cream are made from milk, porridges, soups, pastries and sweets are prepared.
Types of Milk
The dairy industry produces pasteurized and sterilized milk. It is believed that the pasteurized product is more useful because it preserves beneficial microorganisms.
During pasteurization, the fermentation process simply slows down, therefore, the shelf life of the product is extended to 36-38 hours.
Sterilized milk differs from pasteurized milk in that it is almost completely free of microorganisms. Its shelf life is six months. Sterilized milk is good to use with tea and cocoa. The same dishes are prepared from sterilized milk that can be prepared from pasteurized milk.
What to Make From Milk?
We often cook a lot of nutritious dishes at home from pasteurized milk. Dishes such as drinks with chocolate, sugar, juices and syrups are popular. Milk can be consumed with coffee, tea. Milk recipes are also advised to use for making soups, breakfasts and various sauces. Milk is also added to confectionery and to the dough during baking.
Recipes with milk are used to make milk soups and nutritious cereal porridges. Creams, souffles, ice cream are unthinkable without milk. Milk is also needed for making casseroles, puddings, pancakes and fritters. It can be the basis for porridge or soup, dessert or sauce, baking or cocktail. There are many milk dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For a good sleep, it is recommended to drink milk with honey at night.
From simple milk, you can make real treats that neither adults nor children will refuse. Milkshakes with fruit, syrup or chocolate and vanilla are a real feast of taste. There are dozens of options for coffee with milk. You can also make condensed milk at home. It is very convenient to cook condensed milk in a slow cooker, since the whole process is automated. Finally, homemade fermented milk products, such as homemade yogurt, are much tastier than store-bought ones.
What to Cook From Sour Milk?
Milk is a perishable product. But sour milk is also usable, so many are interested in what to cook from sour milk. First of all, these are various flour products. Recipes for pancakes and pies are at your service. Sour milk makes the dough lush. There is also a vegetable salad or a vegetable snack, in which sour milk can also be used. Finally, to make a delicious dough for dumplings, you can also take sour milk.
My experience in making cookies is not too great, but I’ll tell you what – this is the most delicious biscuit! Delicate crispy dough, nutty paste and fruit filling with caramel notes is super! You can add a ball of ice cream to a piece of warm biscuits, sprinkled with caramel sprinkles, and it will be “just some kind of holiday!”.
The most wonderful thing about these biscuits is the taste. I was also pleased with the structure of the cookies. Oat flakes are quite small, but not homogeneous; they are felt, but easily dissolved. This grain cookie is very well suited for a full breakfast.
Since mushroom abundance continues in our region, and traditional methods of cooking mushrooms have been exhausted, I decided to bake galetta with mushrooms.
Breton galette with chicken in cream and mushrooms. A very popular French dish. The biscuit has a square shape. A mandatory component is buckwheat pancake. And filling from a wide range of meat, fish, eggs, cheese, vegetables… I suggest you try to cook the so-called Breton galette complete with chicken and mushrooms. Very satisfying, gentle and fragrant!
Hello, dear ones! Today I want to treat you to galetta with apricots and cherries. A piece of cake made of crumbly tender dough with the addition of oat flakes and fragrant, juicy filling of fresh fruits and berries is a great start to the day. In the evening we prepare a biscuit, and in the morning we enjoy delicious pastries. I invite you to have breakfast with me!
Suggest another recipe using puff pastry. The galette turns out delicious (however, like any pastry made from this dough), and the filling is juicy! Highly recommended!
