The story of who the cooks first guessed to add condensed milk to the dough, history is silent. But the culinary experiment was clearly a success, and this practice became widespread. Dough on condensed milk can be made for cakes, muffins, cakes, pies. Baking on it is especially tender and pleasant to the taste.
Cooking Features
The technology of making flour bases with the addition of condensed milk has a certain specificity, but is not complex. It may depend on a specific recipe. After all, yeast and unleavened dough is always done differently. However, even an inexperienced cook will perfectly cope with the task if he knows and takes into account several important points when cooking.
- Delicious dough is obtained only from high-quality flour. A second-rate product gives baking a grayish color and a specific taste; it becomes not very pleasant to eat. The difference in price between the flour of the highest, first and second grade is not so great as to save on this product.
- Condensed milk goes on sale of different quality. It is not uncommon product made from vegetable raw materials or with its addition. This condensed milk is made from whole cow's milk and sugar, other components should not be present in its composition. If the list of ingredients that make up the condensed milk that is available in your store is long, then you should refrain from buying. Savings in this case is inappropriate.
- Flour must be sifted before connecting to other components. This is done not only in order to rid it of insect larvae and small litter. The main task is to saturate the flour with oxygen. After sifting, it becomes light, well connected with other components, without forming lumps. Dough made from sifted flour rises better. Baking out of it comes out more gentle and airy.
- Condensed milk is a sweet product. If it is used for making dough, then you can not add sugar. An exception may be yeast dough, in the preparation of which sugar may be required to activate the yeast.
- When kneading dough on condensed milk, it is worth paying attention to what temperature the products need to be used for this. For biscuits, sometimes cold eggs are taken to make it easier to beat the protein (if the recipe provides for its separate beating). For yeast dough, the products needed to activate the yeast are required to be heated. Most often, dough products are used to prepare the dough, and if the recipe does not indicate how warm they should be, it is this rule that should be guided.
