How to cook a pie
A simple recipe for manna will help you prepare a lush and delicious pie. Products such as sour cream and eggs must be placed in the kitchen in advance (an hour before) so that they are not cold. It is also necessary to sift the wheat flour to saturate it with oxygen, which will make the baked goods more loose and airy. Next, according to the manna recipe, break all the chicken eggs into a deeper container, add salt to them and grind lightly. After this, add semolina little by little and mix. When all the semolina has been added, grind it thoroughly for about five to seven minutes until the mass turns white. Leave the semolina mashed with eggs to swell for twenty minutes.
Then, following the manna recipe, you need to add sugar in parts, kneading with a mixer, which is turned off only when the crystals completely disperse in the mixture and it becomes homogeneous. Now the next step is sifted wheat flour, which is also added in small portions and stirred with a mixer. Next, continuing to stir, add fresh and thick sour cream to the main mass. Then beat, as indicated in the recipe for manna pie, until thick, similar in consistency to pancake batter.
Grease the high-sided pan in which the cake will be baked with a small, soft piece of butter. Then quench a dessert spoon of soda in a cup with vinegar and add it while still sizzling to the dough. Stir for five seconds and pour the dough prepared according to the manna recipe into a heat-resistant form.
It will take about fifty to sixty minutes to bake until done. The oven temperature should be one hundred and eighty degrees. Now, knowing how to bake manna, all that remains is to check it after a certain time for readiness. This is best done using skewers. Cool the well-baked, fluffy and tender manna pie and serve it with tea, cutting it into pieces. How and how to decorate baked goods depends on personal preferences.
Do you want to please your child with a manna? I'll share our favorite recipe! (PHOTO)
Semolina porridge is an excellent morning food. Well, I think so. But my child has a different opinion. Both liquid and thick, and, of course, without lumps, and with sugar and butter. he still eats without fanaticism, and more often than not he runs away from me as soon as he sees a plate of semolina porridge in my hands.
But semolina is actually useful!
It contains vitamins B1, B2, B6, E and minerals - calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium .
In addition, semolina contains a lot of vegetable protein and starch .
Semolina also contains little fiber , so it is useful for those who suffer from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The calorie content of semolina is 326 kcal per 100 grams. For ready-made porridge with milk: 123 kcal per 100 grams, for porridge cooked in water: 98 kcal per 100 grams.
Makfa semolina costs about 45 rubles per pack. The smell and color of the cereal, as well as the taste, are always at their best. Porridge cooked with this grain does not become soggy and remains in separate soft grains. By the way, for better taste, I cook it, most often, in a half-water-milk ratio.
What did I come up with for the child?
Ta-dam! MANNA! Yes, yes, semolina pie, the same one they fed us in kindergarten, when we were still walking under the table :)
I've been looking for that same recipe for a long time, but it's worth it. Mannik was appreciated by both the child and the whole family. And I’m very happy about this!
The calorie content of manna is about 210 kcal per 100 grams (depending on the fat content of kefir).
I wish everyone a good mood and delicious baked goods!
- - excellent quality
- easy to cook
- a very good quality
- nice color and smell
- no shortcomings
Thank you for asking about the recipe :)) My review with the recipe did not pass moderation, so I decided to post it in the comments if anyone is interested :) And now the recipe: pour 1 mug (I have 350 ml) of semolina into a cup and there then pour in 1 cup of kefir (I tried different fat contents, the manna turns out delicious in any case). Stir, cover the cup with film or a lid and leave for an hour. During this time, the semolina will absorb the liquid from the kefir and the dough will become like porridge. Next, add 1/3 cup of sugar to the dough (manna is not very sweet, who likes sweet pastries: put half a glass of sugar or even more, up to a glass, but it’s very sweet, just cloying), on the tip of a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon without slides of soda, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (or soft butter), 1 egg, you can add vanilla sugar (I don’t add it, because manna already smells very nice). Mix everything, leave for 5 minutes so that the sugar and salt dissolve, and the soda and kefir react. Mix the dough again and pour it into the mold so that the dough is about 2 centimeters high. Now I’ll explain why: the dough turns out liquid, if you pour it in a thick layer, it will take a long time to bake and the crusts will dry out. In addition, baked manna has a height of about 3-3.5 centimeters and is very convenient to bite. Place the pan with manna in the oven for 40-50 minutes at 180 degrees. As always, we check readiness with a match: if, after piercing the manna, sticky dough remains on it, then the manna is not ready, but if grains of semolina stick to the match, or it remains clean, then the manna is ready.
The manna turns out loose and crumbly at the same time. Very gentle. You can cut the manna in half and coat it with sour cream and sugar, decorate with crumbs and you will get a cake. If you add nuts or candied fruits, and also bake semolina in small molds, you will get cool semolina muffins. Just be sure to grease the mold with sunflower oil. Better yet, put baking paper in it, as it prevents the bottom crust of the manna from burning.
How to cook manna
An excellent pastry for a cup of tea, which is very easy to prepare, but turns out very tasty, and also healthy. You definitely won’t have to beg your children to eat a piece. One of the time-tested recipes will tell you how to make manna so that all family members will like it. To begin, pour milk into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it over heat until warm. Then, remove from the stove, add sugar and beat in the eggs. Next, using an electric whisk, mix the combined components well.
After the sugar is completely dissolved, you need to add semolina. Stir and allow about twenty-five minutes to swell. Be sure to wait the required amount of time and add sifted flour mixed with baking powder, vanillin, highly softened butter and poppy seeds. Mix all the ingredients for the future pie well and place in a pre-prepared heat-resistant pan. In addition to lubricating it with refined oil, it is advisable to cover its bottom with parchment.
The oven, turned on in advance, warms up to one hundred and eighty degrees by the time the dough is prepared. It is at this temperature that the manna pie must be baked for forty to fifty minutes. Do not take it out before it reaches full readiness. This can be easily checked with a regular toothpick. Then let the baked goods cool completely right in the mold and only then carefully remove the manna and carefully cut it into pieces. Delicious and aromatic homemade cakes are ready. All that remains is to brew fresh tea and invite your loved ones to the table.
PP mannik with kefir
This is one of the simplest manna recipes. You will need these ingredients:

Cooking method
Vanilla manna with the addition of bananas turns out especially tasty and tender. You can use a variety of fruits and berries to suit your personal taste. In any version, such baked goods will always be fragrant and fluffy. Having learned in more detail how to prepare manna with fruit, you can make sure that there is nothing complicated in this process. Initially, pour the semolina into a bowl with high walls. Pour kefir into it, stir and let the cereal swell for about twenty-five to thirty minutes.
Then add sugar, baking soda and vanillin to the semolina. Mix everything with a whisk, mixer or spatula. The prepared dough should be set aside for a short time. Next up are the bananas, peel them and cut them into slices about five millimeters thick. It is also necessary to grease the pan in which the cake will be baked and sprinkle it with semolina. To continue, having learned from the recipe how to make manna, you need to pour about half of the dough into the prepared form. Spread the sliced bananas over the entire surface and cover them with the remaining dough.
Place the mold in the oven and cook the banana pie at a temperature of one hundred and eighty degrees for about thirty to forty minutes. Check the readiness of the manna covered with a golden brown crust with a skewer. The completion of the baking process is indicated by the edges of the cake leaving the pan. Remove the baked goods from the oven and cool. Next, quickly prepare the cream, for which put chilled and fresh cream of 33% fat content into a bowl, add powdered sugar and beat to standing peaks.
Apply the prepared buttercream to the surface and put it in the refrigerator. If desired, the top of the manna pie can be decorated with banana and strawberries. It is good to serve this pastry with coffee or tea, as well as just boiled milk.
Flourless option
To reduce the calorie content of the pie, you can exclude flour from the recipe, replacing it completely with semolina.
So, the list of products
next:
- 1.5 cups each of semolina and kefir;
- a glass of sugar;
- 2 eggs;
- 100 grams of butter.
Preparation:
- We follow the same procedure as when preparing according to the classic recipe: mix semolina and kefir and leave the cereal for an hour so that it swells.
- At this time, you need to beat the eggs, separately grind the butter and sugar and mix everything until smooth.
- Next, the contents of the two bowls are mixed and brought to a single consistency, reminiscent of thick sour cream.
- The finished dough is poured into the mold.
- The oven should be preheated to 160 degrees and place the form with the dough in it.
The pie is baked for 45 minutes to an hour. In the last few minutes, you can increase the temperature to form a golden brown crust.
Don't worry if the cake doesn't rise; this recipe doesn't involve a large increase in baking volume.
If you like fluffy pies, then it is better to choose a mold with a smaller diameter or increase the proportions.
Recipe
Among the considerable number of manna recipes, we suggest paying attention to this one, since the pie prepared using it always turns out airy, aromatic and very tender. After standing for at least an hour in a warm room, pour the fermented baked milk into a container that is convenient for you. Add semolina to it, stir and leave in a warm place for thirty minutes. Separately, combine sugar with eggs and beat well with a mixer. Melt the baking margarine completely, cool slightly and pour it into the whipped mixture. Stir, add a spoonful of lemon zest and baking soda slaked with vinegar. While stirring, add one and a half cups of wheat flour little by little.
Set the dough aside for a moment. Rinse and pour boiling water over the raisins placed in a colander. Then place it on a paper towel to remove any remaining water. Place the drained raisins in a bowl, sprinkle two tablespoons of flour on top and stir to combine. Then transfer it into the dough.
Next, when the semolina swells well, it must be introduced into the prepared dough and stirred with slow, smooth movements. There is no need to be overzealous, as the dough may become too dense. Grease the baking dish well with margarine that has been left warm and sprinkle it generously with semolina, the excess of which is then shaken off. Fill the prepared form with dough and place it in the oven. Bake at a temperature of one hundred and eighty degrees. Cooking time can vary from forty to sixty minutes. Be sure to periodically check the readiness of the pie with a wooden skewer.
A well-baked manna turns out golden brown and has a thin crust. After baking, you need to leave it in the pan until it becomes warm. Then remove and, if desired, decorate with powdered sugar or other means. Then brew tea or coffee and invite everyone to a tea party with a delicious manna pie.

Cooking the pie
The beauty of the manna recipe lies in its versatility and interchangeability of components. One dairy product can be replaced with another, lemon with orange, butter with margarine, prunes with raisins, and so on. You can experiment according to your taste. Using this version of the pie, you will get an airy and very aromatic homemade manna. What will you need to do for this? To prevent the cereal from crunching on your teeth after baking, you need to pour semolina with yogurt, stir and let stand for about forty-five minutes. The dairy product should not be cold.
After about thirty minutes, you can start preparing other ingredients. Heat the oil in a water bath. Beat the eggs until white with a mixer and sugar. Mix wheat flour with baking powder and sift through a mug-sieve. Cut dried apricots into small pieces. Grate the orange zest and squeeze out the juice. As soon as the time necessary for the semolina to swell has passed, you need to add beaten eggs and stir. Next add slightly cooled butter and orange juice. Stir and add orange zest and dried apricot pieces. Add the flour last and mix all the dough ingredients well.
Pour the dough into a greased and sprinkled pan and place in the oven to cook. The pie takes about fifty minutes to prepare, and the baking temperature should be one hundred and eighty degrees. Make sure it's done and remove it from the oven. Allow to cool without removing from the mold. After that, transfer the manna to a plate and decorate as you wish. It can be powder, jam or syrup. An airy and aromatic pie is ready to be served for a family tea party.
Benefits and calories
The main feature of the pie is the use of semolina instead of wheat flour.
In the Soviet period, semolina was elevated to the rank of the most valuable cereals that everyone should eat, regardless of age. Modern scientists tend to believe that semolina, as such, does not have much value for the body, especially when compared with other grains. However, when added to a pie, it slightly reduces the calorie content of the product by replacing wheat flour.
The calorie content of manna with kefir is 249 kcal per 100 grams of the finished product.
The value is not small, given the fact that the pie turns out to be quite dense and heavy in weight, so a hundred-gram piece will look very insignificant on the plate. There are secrets for reducing the calorie content of the product by reducing the amount of eggs and flour in the composition. Preparing dietary manna is possible, but the pie will lose its enviable splendor and delicacy for which it is so loved.
Speaking about the benefits, it is also worth mentioning the vitamins and microelements that make up manna. These include:
- B vitamins;
- vitamin E;
- folic acid;
- phosphorus;
- sulfur;
- chlorine;
- calcium;
- iron;
- magnesium;
- zinc.
True, the calcium included in the composition is poorly absorbed by the body due to the adjacent phosphorus content in large quantities. Nevertheless, microelements can contribute to a person’s daily enrichment of active substances.
