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.
This recipe can be found on the Internet. I wanted to cook something new from cottage cheese. I liked the result, the household is also happy. I hope you enjoy it!
I decided to post the first recipe. I looked through all the options in the search, there is something similar, but it is not so. It is very tasty both hot and cold. I made the filling – pear-apple.
Yes, this is certainly not the first strudel recipe in the kitchen, and they are all somewhat similar. But I decided to share my recipe, which I have been cooking for many years!
It is believed that the strudel is the hallmark of the Austrian confectionery art. A real strudel is juicy, but not wet, with an appetizing crispy crust. At the same time, cooking strudel is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.
A quick and delicious apple strudel made of puff pastry, of course, it is prepared with deviations from Austrian culinary traditions, but this version of the recipe is ideal for those who do not have time to cook thin puff pastry according to a classic recipe.
The birthplace of strudel is Austria, where it gained popularity in the 19th century during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany and Italy bake tons of strudel daily… But few people think that strudel is related to Turkish baklava, and the reason for this was the Turkish raids on Eastern Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. In short, for me there is nothing better than a dank evening (and such evenings are only getting worse) than a plate with hot apple strudel and vanilla pudding! Which one of you is against it? The strudel dough has already been mentioned on the website, and my task is to show you how to properly prepare the most delicious filling for it.
