This time I made cakes with custard sour cream from natapit... It turned out very tasty!

Thanks, I took it away!
and what is the thickness of the dough on the baking sheet before the oven?

[GraNata]

GraNata, good question. I am always tormented on which baking sheet to bake them. I found a middle ground - I take a baking sheet slightly smaller than a large oven. The dough is about 1-1.5 cm thick.
After baking the crust, the base may be slightly thicker in the middle than at the edges. Do not let this scare you, this will not affect the finished cakes, they, after coating-sprinkling, increase both in width and height.

[Elenka]

Elenka, such a warm name for the cakes! I want to try it right away! I took it to the bookmarks.

[Marinochka]

Marinochka, Thank you!
Enjoy cooking!

And with what glass did you measure kefir for these pussies? In the sense of 200 or 250 ml?

In the recipe, I indicated - a glass of 250 ml. I use it to measure all the ingredients, not just kefir.

: bravo: Straight for me the cake drained away: girl_claping: I will definitely do it in the near future !!! I think I will not regret it!

[Slastena]

Slastena, with such a nickname .. just for you!
Just be sure to let it soak. You'll like it.

[Elenka]

And I already made the cakes. They are made simple, eaten quickly! Very tasty!
Elenka , thanks a lot for the recipe!

[Vitalinka]

Vitalinka, Thank you! What a pretty cake!
Glad. what you liked, and it could not help but like and fail. My favorite cake since childhood!

The cake is gone, but it's sooooo tasty, thanks

[skate]

skate, Thank you! I am pleased that the Squirrels are not stale.

[Elenka]

Elenka
Lenochka, what a familiar recipe ... Thank you for remembering it, it’s as if it’s not a complicated cake, but so delicate and tasty that it really disappears instantly.

Lenchik, take credit

It turned out 24 pieces, the cream was only enough for 21 pieces. Well, this is the first time I did not know how to distribute it correctly, you can stretch it by 23 pieces. Nuts took 1 glass, and the crumbs remained about a glass.

Thank you for such a yummy

[Elenka]

Elenka how lovely your cakes are, took them to bookmarks

[barbariscka]

barbariscka, of course, a friend, he is Georgian, or rather Tbilisi.
This cake also has another name - "Tenderness", but somehow "Squirrels" took root more.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks, girls! Cook and treat yourself for fun!
metel_007, Olga, they turned out so nutty - great.
You can advice ... Try the next. sprinkle with more crumbs (then they will definitely not remain). I hold the cake on one hand over a bowl of crumbs, and sprinkle the other abundantly, then a lot of crumbs stick and it turns out shaggy.

Lena, I immediately smeared them with cream inside, then the sides and rolled them in crumbs, then smeared the top and sprinkled with nuts. I would increase the cream, make sour cream custard like you did and add a spoonful of cognac.

[EXCELLENT]

For a long time my inner world resisted, but today I gave up and baked these cakes To say that this is delicious means to twist my soul - it's easy EXCELLENT Goodbye my waist, long live the gluttony

Elenka Thank you so much

[nut]

nut, such beauty! Very gentle and fluffy turned out!

Yes, the photo is not very good for me - for some reason it turns out very dark.But in fact, the cakes are quite tall, slightly creamy in color and directly alive, you take everything in your hand and sway - the most delicate and fluffy I just made them, and which ones will be by the evening - we'll see

[Nut]

Nut, put the cakes in the hall or on the balcony. ...

Thank you - I will do so, but in the late afternoon, for now, let them soak in cream, on the loggia -15 *

that's so beautiful!

[Feofania]

Thank you, Feofania, it's also delicious.

Thank you - I will do so, but in the late afternoon, for now, let them soak in cream, on the loggia -15 *

And I froze mine, and every day I took out 3 things. And there is always dessert. The taste has not changed

Vika, with a start!
I am pleased that the cakes were a success!

Here are my squirrels. Since I myself am from Tbilisi, since childhood I have been able to cook Squirrels, my mother had 6 eggs and 200gr in the recipe. sour cream, and if you add 2 tablespoons of cocoa to the dough, then there will be hedgehogs.

[Iva]

Iva, thanks for the photo and for using my recipe. The variant of hedgehogs is very interesting, I will try them somehow in collaboration with squirrels. Thanks for the idea!
And your mom's recipe can also be used, because earlier recipes were passed from hand to hand, by the way, such as you wrote the recipe I have listed as a cake "Tenderness" completely similar to Squirrels in preparation and in essence.

I made this cake today, it turned out so airy, tender (we did not wait for the impregnation and ate a piece already), yummy ... and baked in the d28cm shape, baked at t180 degrees for 20 minutes, rose well, in height it was somewhere 2.5-3cm (probably it was necessary to take a larger form). This cake turned out to be 18 round d4cm (it could have been made smaller too). I made a sour cream custard and took walnuts. I took sour cream too, generously coated both inside and out, only I didn't have enough crumbs, and just sprinkled 6 cakes with walnuts on top. We really enjoyed . The taste and appearance are just awesome !!!! Thanks for such a simple recipe, but in the end an incredibly delicious dessert !!!!!

Girls, how do you grind a crumpet into a crumb? : oops

[ZeZe]

ZeZe, wonderful cakes turned out! I'm glad you like it. I also did it with sour cream custard, very suitable.

dandelion, I do the crumb on a regular grater.

Squirrel pies are more like hedgehogs (my associations)

Maybe so ... In these cakes, the nut content and fluffiness hints at Squirrels.

Girls, how do you grind a crumpet into a crumb? : oops

The cake turns out to be soft and loose, I rubbed it with my hands ... it turned out airy crumbs

ZeZe, great cakes turned out! I'm glad you like it. I also did it with sour cream custard, very suitable.

Thank you very much, my everyone is delighted

what a beauty, only the diet is over, so that at least in the spring I can fit into clothes, but I see it was not there

I have done it for a long time, I decided to repeat it, I remember exactly that I took the cream, which is in the note, but there is a link to apple, and in the text it is sour cream, so what should it be?

Lena, of course sour cream. When I was writing the recipe, Natasha had creams in one recipe, so the old link remained.
Although it will be delicious with apple. By the way, at Stella's house I saw a similar cake with apple cream, people say very tasty.

It also seemed to me that it was sour cream, because I don’t remember to cook something using apple technology, thanks already rushed to make the cream, the dough was already cold.

Oh, girls, just today I remembered these cakes. My husband DR in two weeks, was just about to revise the recipe, I open the mail, and there is an answer in this thread. By the way, then I made them for the house, they did not eat them all at once, I froze them, everything is fine, the freezing did not affect the taste.

I usually make these cakes on NG.

Girls, what kind of baking dish do you use?

[Irusha]

Irusha, bake on a baking sheet. covered with paper, you will then cut out the mugs with a glass.

Thanks Olga! It was not clear to me what size the baking sheet was, they were different. I'll take the big one then.

Girls, but I have a problem. Well, not such a dough turns out, as I remember from childhood. Something not porous, but solid, heavy. maybe not baked? Actually, I first started to bake it according to my grandmother's recipe. It almost completely coincides with this, with the exception of two points - flour must be poured 3-3.5 tbsp so that the dough is not thick. This is just like how nothing is said about how to bake. So I think now - I hammered it with flour, or baked it at too high a temperature - 210 degrees, 15 minutes. It is unlikely that anyone will answer me at such and such a time, but I will bake the second batch
