Lenten mannik

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake lean manna in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Pour semolina, sugar and vanillin into a deep bowl. How to replace vanillin, read the article below the steps. Pour in odorless vegetable oil and boiled water at room temperature. Mix all ingredients and leave for half an hour. During this time, the semolina will be saturated with moisture and swell well. Read how to choose semolina in a separate article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Add baking powder. If time permits, it is better to leave the mixture for a longer time so that the semolina does not remain grainy in the finished pie, and the manna is tender and soft. Read about the features of using baking powder in baking in the article below the steps.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sifted wheat flour to the mixture. The flour must be sifted to remove various types of impurities and saturate the flour with oxygen, which, in turn, will make the manna fluffy and airy. Remember that you may need a little less or more flour, look at the consistency of the dough. Read more about the properties of flour in a separate article at the end of the recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   The dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil, sprinkle with semolina and pour in the dough. Bake the manna for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Times are approximate. Read about ovens at the end of the recipe. You can check readiness with a wooden toothpick; it should be well browned on top. Remove the manna from the mold, let it cool, covering the top with a cotton napkin so that the manna does not dry out around the edges.

For the first time in my life I cooked lean manna, I didn’t expect it to be so tasty and simple!!! At home there were minimal ingredients, but I wanted something tasty, I discovered that such amazing muffins can be made from semolina! Nourishing, pleasant! The only vegetable oils I had at home were coconut and corn, so I added them. Plus half a spoon of alcoholic coconut liqueur for flavor, plus a little coconut flakes. Well, I added half a glass of milk to half a glass of water. I was very inspired that it was so easy and quick to cook, and in the oven the cupcakes rose a lot, so from the minimum amount of the dessert itself it turned out to be twice as much 😋 As a layer - currant jam - I left it overnight - it turned out to be delicious breakfast pies, tender, aromatic, filling and with a crispy crust! Thank you for the recipe, everything is just super 👏🏾 I am very pleased with this semolina!!

It just so happened that my daughter recently had severe conjunctivitis, and there were no eggs at home, and we finished off the butter at breakfast, but I wanted something sweet. Your recipe came in handy; it’s more fun to cook and tastier to eat later!!

Since there is a fan of semolina baking in the family, we have to try different recipes, including semolina. I added a little currants and orange zest of my own, and the result was not disappointing. Thanks for sharing!
