Cake Anthill - to the hostess
- Before kneading the dough, be sure to sift the flour. This is done in order to enrich it with oxygen and, therefore, make the dough more porous and more magnificent;
- When mixing the dough, do not pour flour into the liquid. It is better to do the opposite: pour it in a thin stream into flour;
- Korzhik does not leave the baking sheet? Then hold it over steam for a couple of minutes or put on a rag moistened with ice water;
- So that the "Anthill" does not fall apart before solidification, pack it in foil and only then put it in the cold;
- All components for the cake should be fresh. Before starting to cook, remove all the ingredients from the refrigerator and let them “warm” to room temperature, and only after that start cooking.
