Information for the home cook
# An indispensable dish for the Bright Resurrection of Christ is Easter (curd mass with fillings). It is better to cook it in a pasochny - a wooden detachable form, consisting of four side walls.
You can also use a clean washed flower pot lined with a cloth.
# You can cut out a plywood box, grind its surface and soak it with refined sunflower oil (namely sunflower oil, since it dries up).
Or use various molds made of food-grade polymeric materials, in the bottom of which holes are drilled.
# Easter is prepared hot and cold.
For cold (raw) Easter, the main components are crushed and mixed until a homogeneous mass is formed without heating.
For boiled Easter, the food is mixed and then heated, sometimes brought to a boil, but not boiled.
# If the curd is sour, mix it with an equal amount of milk and leave for an hour. Then fold the cottage cheese onto cheesecloth and let the milk drain.
# Milk is quite high in calories: 100 g contains more than 60 calories. So half a liter of milk is enough to meet a third of the body's daily energy needs. A liter of whole milk in terms of calorie content replaces 370 g of beef or about 700 g of potatoes.
# Cottage cheese must be wiped through a sieve. Then the dishes will be more tender and airy.
# The walls of the pasochny are decorated with carved patterns from the inside, as a rule, a cross is carved on two walls, on the others - the letters X and B.
# Easter is decorated with candied fruits, multi-colored marmalade, raisins, candies, cream. You can cut thin long strips from candied orange fruits and lay out the letters X and B.
# To prepare Easter, you must take high quality products:
the cottage cheese should be fresh and not sour, it should be put under pressure to remove excess whey;
butter - unsalted, soft and plastic;
sour cream and cream - 30% fat; granulated sugar - fine and white.
If possible, in all cases, it is better to use fructose instead of sugar.
# Milk will not sour for a long time if you put a horseradish leaf in it.
Alternatively, cover the dishes with milk with a lid and place them in a saucepan filled with water. Place a towel on top and dip the edges in water.
# Butter will last longer if kept in cold, salted boiled water.
# It is better to beat the egg whites chilled, adding a few drops of lemon juice to them, and the yolks - at normal temperature.
# Egg yolk will keep well if you put it in a small jar, add a little water, which will protect the yolk from drying out, and put it in the refrigerator.
# Butter should be stored in the dark or in an opaque container because light smells bad.
# Rancid butter will not have an unpleasant aftertaste if melted by placing an ember in it.
# The rancid taste in butter can be removed by heating it along with the sliced onions.
# Butter even in the refrigerator loses its taste after some time. To restore its freshness, stick peeled and washed carrots into the oil and hold it for 3-4 hours.
# Granulated sugar is poured into the whipped egg whites gradually in a thin stream, without stopping the whipping process.
When sugar is added, the mass settles somewhat, but then it becomes lush and the volume of whipped proteins increases 5-6 times.
A well-whipped protein-sugar mass should be fluffy, in the form of a persistent, non-spreading foam, but when whipping, you cannot overdo it: if you whisk the proteins with sugar for too long, the mass can settle, become liquid and glossy.
