Original and tasty Calla cookies: recipe with photos of finished products
Before baking such an unusual dessert in the oven, you should thoroughly mix the liquid base. For this we need the following products:
- fine granulated sugar (powder can be used) - ½ faceted glass;
- sifted white flour - ½ cup;
- large chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- butter - for greasing a baking sheet.
Base kneading process
Cookies “Calla” should be prepared from liquid egg dough. After all, the only way you get thin cakes from which you can make the necessary "petals". It is worth noting that some housewives during the preparation of such a base add table soda to it. We do not recommend doing this, because under the influence of this product, the baked product will become too lush, which will greatly complicate the formation of dessert.
So, in order to cook Calla cookies, you should break the chicken eggs into a deep bowl and add granulated sugar to them . Next, the components must be thoroughly beaten with a fork so that the sweet ingredient is completely dissolved. To speed up this procedure, instead of sugar to the eggs, you can pour powder. It will melt in literally seconds.
After the actions have been taken, the base should be added wheat flour and knead a rather liquid dough (as for charlotte).
Baking products in the oven
Baking “Calla” cookies in the oven is very quick and easy. To carry out this procedure, you need to take a large sheet and generously grease it with butter. Next, the baking sheet should be strongly heated in the oven at a temperature of 185 degrees. Such a thorough preparation of the dishes is required so that subsequently baked “petals” of the dessert easily move away from the surface of the sheet without being damaged.
After the baking sheet is heated, it is necessary to lay the base on it using a large spoon. Moreover, each cake should spread well, forming a thin round layer with a diameter of up to 6-7 centimeters. So that the dough does not stick together during heat treatment, the base must be placed on the sides of the dishes and other products at a distance of 30-40 millimeters. Next, the baking sheet with the contents should be sent to a preheated oven and baked for 7-9 minutes. During this time, biscuit cakes are fully cooked.
The process of forming "petals"
Before you cook the Calla cookies, you should beautifully form the “petals” of the future dessert. To do this, you need to get a baking sheet with products from the oven and quickly remove the soft cake from the sheet using a cooking spatula. Next, in the hot form, the edges of the biscuit need to be connected with your fingers so that you get a kind of cone, but more open. After solidification, the products will take a stable form, become crispy and will be very similar to the “petals” of the above colors.
It is worth noting that the beauty of this dessert depends entirely on how quickly you will form it. After all, a thin biscuit hardens instantly and takes on the form that was given to him hot.
Necessary components for filling
As you know, today there are other ways of making this dessert. However, we decided to bring to your attention only the easiest and easiest recipe. Calla cookies can be decorated in completely different ways. Someone uses slices of oranges, pineapple, jelly, jam and other products for this. We advise you to purchase the following components:
- white chocolate - 90 g;
- fresh milk - 2 large spoons;
- butter - 1 dessert spoon;
- icing sugar - ½ cup (for sprinkling);
- large strawberries - to acquire by the number of "petals".
Beautiful dessert design
After the "petals" are formed, you should begin to prepare the glaze. To do this, melt the white chocolate in a metal bowl with fresh milk and butter. Next, in the resulting glaze, it is required to dip a wide part of the baked products and immediately put in the middle a whole strawberry. After hardening the chocolate, the berry should adhere well to the biscuit. Ready dessert should be laid out on a flat large plate and generously sprinkled with powdered sugar.
