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.
I propose to diversify the breakfast menu by preparing a delicious, hearty and original dish. Snack cake from pancakes always turns out delicious, satisfying.
A very tasty option for pancakes with stuffing! Crispy breading and juicy meat filling will not leave anyone indifferent. When cut, even the juice flowed a little and smelled of chebureks. It’s very tasty.
Galette with chocolate flavor both in the dough and in the filling. Pieces of juicy fruit make pastries juicy. Tangerine gives a New Year’s look and taste. The pudding will not allow the biscuit to become dry. Coconut chips and powder on top give the “snowball” an attractive appearance.
Delicious, fragrant, with a golden crust and juicy apple filling, cottage cheese biscuits. A wonderful open pie is a great addition to tea. By the way, this biscuit can be prepared not only with an apple, but also with any seasonal berries and fruits, everything will be delicious. Try it, you’ll like it!
Pancake biscuits with ham, cheese and eggs. A great breakfast option for the whole family. I had never cooked anything like this before (in terms of filling), and it was nice that the home 2 days asked for just such a start to the day.
The dough with the addition of rye flour goes well with the filling. A hearty, but not “heavy” biscuit is especially good in a warm form – delicious juice flows out of it. But the next day it was great, the dough remained soft.
