In culinary and household terms, sugar is called sucrose – an ordinary food sweetener that is obtained by processing sugar cane or sugar beet.
The white color of sugar is achieved during refining, but at the same time its individual crystals remain colorless. Many varieties of sugar contain different amounts of vegetable juice – molasses, which gives the crystals different shades of white color.
Sugar is an indispensable ingredient in many drinks, dishes, confectionery and bakery products. It is a familiar additive to coffee, cocoa and tea; confectionery creams, ice cream, icing and sweets cannot do without it. As a good preservative, white sugar is used in cooking jam, making jelly and other products from fruits and berries. Today, white sugar can be found almost everywhere, even where it is not expected to be found. For example, it may end up in low-fat diet yogurt or sausages, as well as in the manufacture of canned meat.
White sugar on sale is in the form of granulated sugar and refined sugar in pieces. Granulated sugar is packed in bags of different capacity, usually from one to fifty kilograms. Dense polyethylene bags are used, inside of which a film is additionally stretched to protect the contents from moisture and the spillage of crystals. Refined products are packed in cardboard boxes. The high hygroscopicity of white sugar causes certain requirements for its storage. The room where the product is located must be dry, protected from temperature fluctuations. Storing it at high humidity will lead to the formation of lumps. Sugar has the ability to absorb foreign odors, so you should not keep it near products with strong flavors.
White sugar is very high in calories – almost 400 kcal per one hundred grams of the product, and its composition consists entirely of carbohydrates. Therefore, when dieting, it is recommended to limit the use of this product in its pure form (for sweetening coffee or tea) and in the form of various sugar-containing drinks, cakes, cookies, etc.
Such pancakes are served in a local cafe-bar. In Latvia, the whole pumpkin is highly respected. Exhibitions of pumpkins are held in Riga, in the zoo every year local strongmen weigh the largest pumpkins and award the winner of the largest… So, such pancakes can be served with sour cream, ice cream or jam. I decided to add apples to the composition.
Autumn is a time of different tastes! Draw! I want to have time to try everything, save money, stock up… It’s time for fresh fruits and berries – very fleeting! I managed to bake a pie in fig season. They even managed to collect their own harvest! It was difficult, but I coped – it was the only ripe fig.
A sweet and very beautiful roll for tea or coffee for dessert. I admit, I baked a roll for the first time. It seemed to me that it was insanely difficult. But no, it’s very simple and quite brief. The roll turned out to be tender, sweet and, I dare say, even useful. Recommend.
I offer one of my favorite pies. Cooking it is very simple, it always turns out!!! incredibly delicious, you will never stop at one piece, the hand itself reaches for the additive. The combination of thin crispy dough with fragrant, tender and juicy filling will not leave anyone indifferent! We will cook strudel from Filo dough, there is already one recipe on the site, but my cooking is a little different, so I will let you post your recipe, I hope it will be useful to many.
The recipe for nut-lemon cakes is perfect for tea on a cold autumn evening. If you characterize the cake with a couple of words, it quickly disappears. The first piece you eat is to try what it is and what it looks like. You’ll spend the next two hours figuring out which layer you like the most and why. Then you realize that you like them all. These cakes with their rich nutty-citrus flavor will lift even the most depressing autumn mood.
I suggest cooking an unusual charlotte, namely with the addition of carrots and nuts. Carrots will make the charlotte more tender, and the crispy nut crust will give a special charm.
This sauce can be used as a classic mayonnaise. But the dish seasoned with it is much brighter in taste and color. Mayonnaise turns out thick, holds its shape well, does not leak out, is very good on sandwiches, in any salads. And meat or fish, smeared with this sauce before baking, have an excellent taste, aroma and a very appetizing appearance. P.S. Also – the sauce is prepared without eggs. It is safe and suitable for use in the mail.
Dear cooks, I want to share with you a recipe for a delicious and simple cream. This cream really tastes like melted ice cream! Come help yourself! P.S. The cream is suitable for cakes, eclairs, puff cakes and rolls! The cream yield is 630 grams, this is enough for a layer of cake in 4 cakes with a diameter of 20-21 cm.
Classic cottage cheese pie with raisins. I added apples and sweet pumpkin. It is called nutmeg or nutmeg paste (a variety that can be eaten raw, like carrots). Cupcakes have a loose structure, and the fillings give juiciness.
A wonderful treat for children and adults is a fragrant crumbly cookie with a honey-creamy taste and a slight hint of vanilla. Cookies are prepared quickly and simply, and eaten even faster!
