Hleb "na kasiku"/Spoon bread

Please scroll down for English version

Ako volite proju i kukuruzni hleb sigurno cete voleti i ovaj Spoon bread!!!

Potrebno:
3 solje mleka
150 gr sitnog kukuruznog brasna
3 jaja (sobne temperature)
2 kasike istopljenog maslaca
1 3/4 kasicice praska za pecivo
1 kasicica soli

solja = 2,5 dl

Ukljuciti rernu da se zagreje na 190 stepeni.
Staviti mleko da se kuva. Kad provri, neprestano mesajuci, sipati kukuruzno brasno (kao kad kuvate instant palentu). Skinuti s vatre i ostaviti da se ohladi na sobnoj temeperaturi. Ohladjeno brasno prebaciti u ciniju za miksanje, dodati umucena jaja, istopljeni maslac, so i prasak za pecivo. Miksati, srednjom brzinom miksera, 15 minuta.
Kalup sirine 22 cm ili modlice za souffle namazati maslacem, sipati pripremljenu smesu pa peci 30 minuta. Servirati vruce.

Moj hlebic bio je malo tvrdji, a i samo testo je bilo malo gusce nego sto je trebalo. Napravila sam tri greske, jaja mi nisu bila sobne temperature i nisam ih umutila, a nisam ni miksala masu punih 15 minuta... Sledeci put sledicu recept u potpunosti pa ako i tada bude gusci, povecacu kolicinu mleka.

Ovo je moja poslednja ulaznica za igricu Ajme, koliko nas je koju je osmislila monsoon, a u kojoj na moj predlog pravimo jela od kukuruza i kukurznih preradjevina.

English version:
Spoon bread
(adapted from here)

3 cups whole milk

1 1/4 cups (5 1/2 ounces) cornmeal
 (white corn meal if you can find it)
3 eggs
at room temperature, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 375. In a medium sauce pan, bring the milk to the boil. Then, while stirring, add the corn meal in a steady stream (if you've ever made polenta, you'll recognize this process). Take the pan off the heat and set it aside, allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature. It will be very cold and firm at that point. Be not dismayed. Put the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer, add the beaten eggs, melted butter, salt and baking powder. Beat at medium speed for 15 minutes. Pour into a buttered casserole or 9" cake round, and bake for 30 minutes. Serve at the table, straight from the pan.

Pileci zalogaji/Chicken bites

Please scroll down for English version

Kod nas u kuci misljenja su podeljena kada su u pitanju ovi zalogajcici. Moja jaca polovina nije bas preterano odusevljena dok se meni i deci svidjaju. Najteze je ugoditi svima istovremeno :)



2 komada pilecih prsa (bez kosti i koze)

350 gr tanko secene slanine
400 gr mlevene piletine
1 jaje
so, biber i zacini po ukusu
aluminijumska folija

Zagrejati rernu na 180 stepeni.
Pileca prsa iseci na tanke snicle pa svaku sniclu malo istanjiti cekicem za meso. Zaciniti.
Mlevenu piletinu izmesati sa jajetom i zacinima.
Veci komad folije staviti na radnu povrsinu pa na foliju sloziti slaninu tako da se snitice lagano preklapaju.
 

 Rasporediti piletinu preko slanine.

Piletinu premazati pripremljenim mlevenim mesom.

Pazljivo, uz pomoc folije, urolati meso. Pricvstiti rub i oba kraja. Zatim povezati rolat kuhinjskim koncem.

Pazljivo seci parcice 2-3 cm sirine.

Poredjati rolnice u pleh i peci oko 40-ak minuta.

Odstraniti foliju pa servirati toplo ili hladno.

Ako vam se desi da mleveno meso prilikom secenja lagano klizi napolje, malo ga pogurajte nazad u paketic. Pecenjem ce sve da se stvrdne i bice jednostavno za rukovanje prilikom odvajanja folije i daljeg serviranja.

Za ovaj rolat mozete menjati kolicine namirnica bez da se promeni ukus. Nista ne merim (to sam uradila samo jednom da bih mogla nakucati post), stavim otprilike slanine, pilecih prsa da prekriju slaninu dok kolicina mlevenog uvek ostaje ista (kod nas su pakovanja od 400 gr). Kombinujte kako vam odgovara :)

English version:

Chicken bites

2 pieces boneless chicken breast, without skin

Kako napraviti fondant vozic/How to make a fondant train

Please scroll down for English version

Kao sto sam vec ranije pominjala, moj trogodisnji sin je zaljubljen u sve vrste vozova. Pre nego sto je naucio da govori, prilikom svakog odlaska u prodavnicu trazio je HU-HU, kasnije je to postala JOKOMOMOTIVA da bi je danas nasledio cuveni THOMAS. I kao sto sam ranije pisala, ove godine sam odlucila da mu pripremim Voz party - tri torte za tri rodjendana i sve tri u znaku vozova. Tragajuci za razlicitim torticama sa ovom tematikom naletela sam na odlican tutorial. U principu, trazila sam nesto drugo, ali kad sam ugledala ovaj vozic odusevila sam se kako preslatko izgleda i nisam odolela da ga ne uvrstim u ovogodisnju kolekciju. Najbitnije od svega i sincicu se svideo, tako da smo u "borbi" da ga sacuvam do dolaska drugara i njegovoj zelji da ga provoza koji krug nekoliko puta rusili svecice na torti :) A kad su svecice pogasene, vozic nije mogao ni u ciji nego samo u slavljenikov tanjiric ;)



Potrebno:

gum paste ili fondant

oklagija
fondant smoothers ili veliki noz
gusten ili secer u prahu za posipanje radne povrsine
mali noz
tylo lepak ili voda
veining tool (ako nemate upotrebite noz)
kist
jestive boje
okrugli nastavci za ukrasavnje razlicitih velicina

Obojite fondant (gum paste) u dve razlicite boje. Uzmite mali komadic fondanta i oblikujte glatku lopticu (to ce biti ”telo” voza), potrudite se da loptica bude veoma glatka (da nema pukotina). Stavite lopticu na radnu povrsinu i izduzite je u deblju salamicu duzine oko 7,5 cm (moja je bila kraca, nisam pazljivo procitala uputstvo). Zagladite (izravnajte) sve stranice sa fondant smoothers-om ili vecim nozem. Prednju stranicu spljostite da dobijete kosinu. Ostavite da se malo prosusi.



U medjuvremenu uzmite manji komadic fondanta i oblikujte ga u lopticu. Od loptice oblikujte deblju, kracu salamicu (duzine oko 5 cm). Prednji i zadnji kraj salamice zagladite smoothers-om ili nozem. 
Ponovo oblikujte lopticu pa od nje oblikujte pravougaonik dovoljno sirok da pokrije deo od kraja salamice do kraja ”tela” vozica. Pravougaonik treba biti visine oko 2,5 cm. Stranice pravougaonika takodje zagladite nozem ili smoothers-om.
Zalepite pravougaonik na zadnji deo ”tela” vozica, a zatim salamicu na prednji deo ”tela” (iznad kosine) koristeci tylo lepak (ako radite sa gum paste) ili vodu (ako koristite fondant).

Razvaljajte tanko mali komadic fondanta (gum paste) pa isecite dva mala prozorcica. Zalepite (koristeci vodu ili lepak) po jedan sa svake strane vozica.



Zatim, razvaljajte komadic fondanta (gum paste) malo deblje (oko 4-5 mm). Od toga cete oblikovati tockove, krov i prednji deo vozica.  Isecite pravougaonik koji ce predstavljati krov, treba da bude malo siri i malo duzi od gornje stranice pravougaonika na kome su prozorcici. Zalepite krov.



Zatim, isecite pravogaonik visine kosine na prednjem delu vozica. Krajeve tog parceta fondanta isecite ukoso. Napravite udubljenja nozem ili veining tools-om. Nemojte proseci fondant nego samo blago prislonite noz da ostanu tragovi.  Zalepite na kosinu vozica. 





Koristeci okrugle otvore za ukrasavanje povadite kruzice i to 1 par vecih i 2 para manjih. Sredinu svakog kruzica nezno pritisnite okruglim nastavkom (delom kojim pisete) tek toliko da ostavi trag. Ostavite tockice da se prosuse.

Zalepite prosusene tockice na vozic.



Oblikujte malenu lopticu pa je zalepite na salamicu tako da stoji blize delu sa prozorcicima i krovom.

I na kraju oblikujte dimnjak tako sto cete mali komadic fondanta (gum paste) oblikovati u kuglicu, a zatim je samo sa jedne strane istanjivati. Na debljem kraju prstom napravite udubljenje. Uzi kraj isecite nozem ili spoljostite prstima kako bi dimnjak mogao stajati pravo. Zalepite na salamu, ispred kuglice.



Ostavite vozic da se osusi.
Od razlicitih boja fondanta mozete napraviti i vagone (ja jesam) pa u njih pozbadati svecice. Vagone oblikujete slicno kao ”telo” vozica ali ih zagladite sa sve cetiri strane pa polepite tockice.



Malo sam fulala sa svim dimenzijama jer nisam odstampala tutorial nego sam samo pratila fotkice :( tako je moj voz malo kraci i bilo je problematicno pravilno postaviti tockove (vidi se na slikama, kod mene su malo nagurani jedan na drugi). Isto tako, nisam se slepo drzala redosleda lepljenja detalja na vozic a razlog tome je sto je kompjuter bio predaleko pa sam zavrsne detalje radila po secanju. Savetujem gum paste ako ste u mogucnosti da je nabavite jer je mnogo pogodnija za izradu ovakvih figurica.

English version:
How to make a fondant train
(original tutorial (changed a little), adapted from here)

gum paste or fondant
rolling pin
a pair of fondant smoothers or knife
cornstarch duster
small knife
tylo glue or water
veining tool (Jem) (if you dont have such tool, then just use a knife)
paint brush
gel paste colors
round piping tips in various sizes. (circle cutters can also be used) 

Start by coloring in the gum paste or fondant for the trains “body” in your chosen color (2 colors). Take a piece of gum paste and roll it into a smooth ball without any cracks. Then place the ball on your work table and roll it into a thick sausage about 3″ long. This will be the “base” for the train. Take your pair of fondant smoothers or knife and flatten all the sides. Flatten one of the short ends with the fondant smoother. Set aside to dry a little.
Take another piece of gum paste, again roll it into a smooth ball. Then roll it into a short sausage on your work table. It should cover about 2″ of the “base”. Flatten the ends with the fondant smoothers.
Next, roll another smooth ball of gum paste and form it into a block. It should be slightly taller than the “front” part, and about 1″ wide. Flatten the sides with the fondant smoothers. Attach with a little tylo glue (if you working with gum paste) or water (if you working with fondant). Then, brush a little tylo glue (water) on the “base” and attach the “sausage” on top of the angled end.
Roll out some gum paste thinly and cut out 2 small windows for each side of the train. Glue them on with tylo glue.
Roll out some gum paste (about 4-5mm thick) and roll it out large enough to cut wheels, roof and front “base” for the train.
Cut out a square piece of gum paste for the roof and glue it on with tylo glue.
Cut a strip of fondant and cut the ends slightly slanted. Next make indentations in the gum paste with either a veining tool or a knife. Glue it on the angle front with tylo glue.
Find 2 different sizes of piping tips or circle cutters and cut out 1 pair of large and 2 pair of small wheels. I have used round piping tips to emboss the center of the wheels. Set the wheels aside to dry. Then, glue on the wheels.
Take a small piece of gum paste. If it sticks to your hands, then rub hands with a little cornstarch. First roll a small ball, and glue it on with tylo glue on top of the train (not shown). Make the chimney by rolling some gum paste into a large pea size ball and then roll it into a cone.
Rub some more cornstarch on your fingers. Slowly pinch the “thick” end of the cone all the way around. While you pinch, press down in the middle of the cone with your index finger. So that it get slightly holloi. Trim a little of the end, so that the chimney can stand upright. Attach it on the train with a little tylo glue. Set aside and let the whole train dry completely.
If you like, you can make small train wagons aswell for your train cake topper. Make them out of a ball of gum paste, that you shape into a block. Flatten all the sides with the fondant smoothers and attach some wheels.
Tip! It looks very sweet placing birthday candles on the train wagons.

Krompir piroske/Potato Pierogi

Please scroll down for English version

Pecivo koje me je bukvalno oborilo s nogu :))) Najmekse i najlepse piroske koje sam ikada pripremila i probala. Meni su najlepse sa kiselom pavlakom, ali ne odolevam ni onima sa mlevenim mesom, sirom... ostalo je jos samo da ih probam u slatkoj varijanti ;)

Potrebno za piroske:
500 gr belog krompira
50 gr margarina
2 zumanca
250 ml mleka
1 kasika secera
2 kasicice soli
1 kvasac
650 gr brasna
2 dl kisele pavlake

Potrebno za premazivanje:
2 zumanca
malo ulja
i jos 200 gr margarina



Priprema:
Obariti krompir u ljusci, oljustiti ga pa mu dodati margarin i napraviti pire. U prohladjen pire dodati 2 zumanca.
U toplo mleko dodati secer, so i kvasac pa ostaviti sa strane desetak minuta da se kvasac aktivira. Nadosli kvasac istresti u pire sa zumancima pa dodati polovinu brasna i polako mesiti testo postepeno dodajuci ostatak brasna. Testo treba da bude mekano, ali da se ne lepi za ruke i od ove kolicine brasna trebalo bi da preostane za posipanje radne povrsine pri razvlacenju. Umeseno testo ostaviti 1 sat na toplom da naraste.
Nadoslo testo razviti oklagijom na 1 cm debljine, premazati kiselom pavlakom i iseci na kvadratice.



Uzimati jedan po jedan kvadratic na dlan i zamotati pirosku u paketic tako da bude dobro upakovana sa svih strana tj. da se ne vidi fil od pavlake.



Piroske slagati u pleh oblozen papirom za pecenje. Izmesati zumanca sa malo ulja pa premazati piroske u plehu, a zatim zamrznuti margarin seci na listice i redjati sa sve cetiri strane svake piroske u plehu.



Peci u rerni zagrejanoj na 200 stepeni oko 30-ak minuta. Pecene piroske ostaviti da se malo ohlade pa ih razdvojiti i posluziti.

Odlicna marinada za sve ljubitelje slatko slanih (kiselih) kombinacija. Nama se dopala iako smo odlucili da sledeci put, za nijansu, smanjimo kolicinu limuna jer ga je, za nas ukus, ipak bilo malo previse.

Backa strudla/Twist strudel

Please scroll down for English version

Kod nas u kuci ova strudla je bila jedna od omiljenih i mama je stvarno cesto pripremala. Posto sam sada miljama daleko od mame nisam imala izbora nego da naucim da je mesim. Problem je bio u tome sto mama za ovu strudlu nema recepta... testo mesi onako "od oka" :(  Za mene su takvi recepti jos uvek misija nemoguce pa sam neprestano odustajala od svakog pokusaja da je napravim. Pre nekoliko dana pronasla sam kod Lane vrlo slicnu strudlicu i odmah resila da krenem u avanturu :) Lanin receptic malo se razlikovao od maminih objasnjenja pa sam odlucila da napravim strudlu u kombinaciji mama - Lana... Rezultat je strudla ala mamina :)))

Testo:
1 kg brasna
40 gr kvasca
2 kasicice soli
1 kasicica secera
6 dl mleka
1 dl ulja

Fil:
2 pune kasike masti (maslac)
5 kasike secera
4 zumanca

100 gr mlevenog maka

Rastopiti kvasac u 2 dl toplog mleka, dodati kasicicu secera i malo brasna. U vecoj ciniji izmesati brasno, so, 4 dl toplog mleka, ulje i nadosli kvasac. Zamesiti meko testo, podeliti na dva jednaka dela, prekriti krpom i ostaviti da odmori oko pola sata.
Zagrejati rernu na 200 stepeni.
Na stolnjaku, oklagijom, razviti jednu polovinu testa u sto veci krug, a zatim prstima istanjiti krajeve testa.

Varjacom dobro izraditi mast (maslac), zumanca i secer (ostaviti par kasika za premaz gotovih strudli). U drugoj ciniji izmesati mleveni mak i secer. A u trecu ciniju izrendati cokoladu.

Premazati testo smesom od masti, zumanaca i secera pa posuti mlevenim makom.

Urolati strudlu i presaviti na pola.

Prepletati levu i desnu stranu strudle kao kad savijate pletenicu. Pricvrstiti krajeve.

Saviti strudlu od cokolade na isti nacin. Premazati strudle ostatkom smese od masti pa peci oko 40 minuta.

Nakon 15 minuta prekriti papirom za pecenje jer ce u protivnom vrlo brzo premaz potamneti.

Strudle mozete filovati orasima, lesnicima, cimetom ili cime god filujete obicnu strudlu. Isto tako ova strudla se moze pripremiti i samo sa premazom od masti, zumanaca i secera ali u tom slucaju treba povecati kolicine.

English version:
Twist strudel

Dough:
1 kg all purpose flour
40 gr fresh yeast
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
6 dl milk
1 dl oil

Filling:
2 full tablespoon of pork fat or butter
5 tablespoon sugar
4 egg yolks

100 gr ground poppy seed
5 tablespoon sugar
100 gr chocolate
Dissolve yeast in the 2 dl of milk, add 1 teaspoon sugar and litt flour.

Combine flour, 2 teaspoon salt, 4 dl lukewarm milk and oil in mixing bowl, add yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly with hands (dough should be soft). Divide the dough into 2 pieces, cover with a cloth and set in a warm place to rise about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
Cover a table with a smooth cloth and put one dough piece onto it. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a larger circle. Then, put your hands, palms down, under the dough and gently stretch the edge with the backs of your hands.
Mix with the wooden spoon pork fat, sugar and egg yolks until well blended. Reserve lit.
Mix with the spoon grounded poppy seed and sugar.
Grate chocolate.
Spread the pork fat (butter) mixture over the surface of the dough and sprinkle with poppy seed and sugar. Then, roll up the doug into the strudel, fold in half and twist. Seal the ends.
Make other strudel on the same way (use chocolate). Brush with reserved pork fat mixture and bake for about 40 minutes. After 15 minutes cover with parchment paper. Let cool for serving.

You can use nuts, chocolate, cinnamon or something else instead of poppy seed or you can just spread dough with the pork fat (butter) mixture without any filling. If you want strudel without filling then add a little more pork fat, sugar and egg yolks.

Ajme, koliko nas je - tema

Drage blogerke, nakon dva meseca pauze doslo je vreme da se vratimo u kuhinje i nastavimo sa igricama :)
Pre letnjeg raspusta, zahvaljujuci Dajani sa bloga Baker`s corner, meni je pripala uloga domacice u igrici Ajme, koliko nas je koju je pokrenula monsoon pa evo pristupam zadatku ;)
Moram priznati da mi je, kada sam razmisljala na tu temu, prvo na pamet pao kukuruz... i sto sam duze razmisljala sve vise mi se cinilo da bi to mogla biti dobra ideja :))) I evo, nakon dva meseca razmisljanja, ostajem pri kukuruzu!!! Pod tim mislim na sve moguce vrste kukuruza, ali isto tako i na preradjevine od kukuruza (kukuruzno brasno, palentu i sve ostale proizvode koji vam padnu na pamet a imaju veze sa kukuruzom).
Nadam se da ste se svi lepo odmorili i da cete u kukuruzu pronaci mnogo inspiracije :))))
Svoje ulaznice (link ka receptu i po mogucnosti fotografiju) saljite na moj mail:
