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 suggest cooking a delicious pie with applesauce, cherries and nuts. The recipe will be useful for those who follow the waistline, since there is no oil in it.
Galetta, the dough for which is prepared on kefir. A tender, very tasty and real dish, from which the dough turned out just fine, even if you didn’t put a drop of oil in it. Try to cook.
I looked through the recipes of galette, but I did not meet this, basically the recipe for the flour-butter-ice water dough, I have a different recipe, so I decided to offer it to your court. Our family loves this kind of biscuits with different fillings, sweet and with cabbage. This option is summer – the cherry in baking is a little bland, so I added apples and freshly frozen cherries – it turned out very juicy and delicious in combination with a crispy and tender base.
Fragrant, beautiful, with a thin, very delicate and crispy dough, plum sourness and shiny plum glaze Galeta (“PLUM GALETTA”) — only such epithets can be chosen for this miracle cake of French cuisine!
There are just a great many recipes for biscuits, but I decided to cook from rye flour and bran and say that it turned out delicious – to say nothing. This is a delicate, crumbly dough combined with a filling of apples, I really liked it! Such a crazy riot of tastes. I would never have thought that sweet pastries would go so well with rye flour. In general, I recommend, no, I encourage you to cook!!!
I offer you delicious pastries with cottage cheese for tea – an open sand pie-galette with cottage cheese filling and apples. The pie is prepared very quickly and easily. I took apples, but you can use plum, pear, peach, apricot.
The fact that this is a delicious biscuit does not mean anything!!! A rather unusual, but very simple and harmonious combination that you will like! Delicious crumbly dough and a pleasant sweet and sour filling! In my opinion – a very successful and original pastry!)
This is a very tasty and light dish for tea, the dough is tender and slightly crispy, with the aroma of apples. You can also make galette with cherries.
