In addition, the very "form factor" of this appetizing snack determines its widespread recognition - small portions of filling or sauce quickly warm up the appetite, they are convenient and practical. Cooking them is not difficult, basket recipes require basic culinary skills and a desire to fantasize.

For those who like to experiment, there are ample opportunities for combining ingredients and preparing a presentation. Often, cheese, vegetables, meat or fish are used as the main component for the filling. It will be beneficial to look greens - as well as whole leaves, and finely chopped. However, everyone's favorite Olivier salad can also be a great filler. The list of products used to fill the baskets is probably endless: caviar, red fish, shrimp, crab sticks, chicken, mushrooms, ham, liver, hearts...

The most common sweet shortbread dough according to GOST. All ingredients should be at room temperature, put them on the table 2-3 hours before starting work. 100 g butter, 1 yolk, 65 g powdered sugar, 0.5 tsp. mix the baking powder and a pinch of fine salt in a bowl and mix with a mixer with a Hook attachment until smooth. Pour in 165 g of sifted flour and mix again to make crumbs. It will take about 20 seconds. Use your hands to collect the crumbs into a lump, practically do not knead, otherwise the finished dough will not be crispy and crumbly. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin between two sheets of baking paper. You should get a layer of about 0.7 cm thick. Cut out circles to fit your molds. Put the circles in molds, pressing against the walls and bottom. Put in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. While they are cooling, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Take out the blanks and bake them for 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to brown too much, the baskets should be only slightly golden! Remove the finished baskets, cool slightly in molds, remove and cool completely. During this time, do...

...protein custard!

The one that is otherwise called Italian meringue. Sweet snow-white cream, which is perfectly stored and keeps its shape perfectly. And it's also quite cheap. For all this, Soviet confectioners loved him so dearly. Raw protein here is brewed with hot syrup, so the cream is considered quite safe. But for its preparation it is very desirable to have a culinary thermometer at home, although with a strong desire you can do without it.

Proportions according to GOST. Beat 2 proteins in a strong foam. We put 130 g of sugar in a saucepan with a thick bottom, pour 50 g of water, put on fire, bring to a boil and completely dissolve the sugar. Further, without interfering, cook the syrup for about 5 minutes to 120 degrees or samples for a medium ball. If you don't have a thermometer and you're about to take a sample, take the syrup off the heat for the time being, otherwise you'll overcook it. Scoop up some syrup with a spoon and dip in ice water to cool. Take the syrup with your fingers and try to roll it into a ball. If it wrinkles easily, then the syrup is not ready yet. The ball should be tight, but not hard.

Whisk the egg whites if they have settled down a bit. Pour syrup into them in a thin stream, without stopping whisking. Add lemon juice. And ... yes, that's right - we continue to whip! The mass should become dense, glossy, increase in volume and cool completely. Protein custard is ready!

Collecting cakes!

We put jam, jam or marmalade in baskets. Preferably from sour berries, because. both the sand base and the protein cream are very sweet. This time I had ready-made blackcurrant jam, but you can specially cook, for example, confiture, as in. Only not from blueberries, but from something more sour. We fill a pastry bag with a “Star” nozzle with cream and place a cap on top of the jam. As for me, they are beautiful already in this form, but you can add candied fruit, confectionery sprinkles or colored leaf flowers. For them, you will also need pastry bags, two additional nozzles of small diameter and food coloring. However, if you don’t have dyes or you are a big opponent of them (this often happens!), Just for these baskets, you can try to tint the cream with beetroot or spinach juice, because the color here should not be too saturated. Set aside a small part of the cream, divide it into two parts, paint it pink and green, put it in bags and create!

Cake "Basket" is my love. Believe it or not, but if they caught my eye, I just can't get past! Sand base, jam "with the taste of childhood", and a wonderful airy cream. By the way, there are two types: sand baskets with butter cream and protein, the choice is yours.

Buying these desserts, to be honest, I never thought about how to cook them at home on my own. But with the advent of a child in the family, I began to treat the purchase of products more carefully, fearing unnecessary harmful additives. Then I thought about finding a recipe for "Basket" cakes with protein cream. I like it more: light, airy, very tasty and at the same time,.

It turned out in the recipe there is absolutely nothing more natural and complex. I suggest you check it out as well.

Ingredients

For the base:

Egg yolk - 3 pieces
Margarine or butter - 200 grams
Sugar - 80 grams
Soda - 3 grams
Flour - 200 grams

For the protein custard:

Water - 100 ml
Sugar - 300 grams
Egg white - 3 pieces
Vanilla sugar - 10 grams
Lemon juice or citric acid - 7 grams
Jam - berry or fruit (to your taste)

Cooking process

First, let's prepare the base - dough for cakes "Basket". Prepare the necessary ingredients in accordance with the recipe so that everything is at hand in the right amount. It is necessary to mix sugar and butter (margarine) and beat until voluminous.

Pour soda and yolk into this mixture, beat very well.

In the resulting bulk mass, add flour in small portions and quickly knead the dough for the “Basket” cake without stopping.

Do not knead for a long time so that our dough does not become tight. This will cause the shortcrust pastry cakes to turn out stone. The finished dough should be allowed to stand so that it rests and only after a break can you continue working with it.

Prepare the molds in which the cake baskets will be baked. You can use the most common metal molds. It is not necessary to grease the molds with oil, because it is part of the dough itself.

It is necessary to divide the dough into equal parts. From the resulting pieces we roll the ball and make a thin cake, which we then put in prepared forms. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and sides to avoid bubbles.

If you have uneven edges, then we level them with your fingers, if necessary, remove the excess. All edges must be even, so that our cakes turn out neat and beautiful.

We bake in the oven at a temperature of 200 - 220 degrees Celsius until browned.

Very carefully, slowly, we take out the baskets and put them on a tray to cool.

Keep in mind that shortbread cake baskets need to cool and get stronger, so you need to bake them in advance, several hours in advance, maybe a day.

Let's get some cream. First of all, we begin to cook syrup from sugar and water. Combine the ingredients in a saucepan and place on the stove.

We cook the syrup so that it gurgles, which means that the correct caramelization processes are going on, stir and remove the foam. It should be boiled until the consistency of liquid caramel is reached. We check simply - we put a container with cold water next to it and periodically drip a spoon into it, the resulting syrup. Until we see that a soft ball forms in the water, continue to cook. This process takes approximately 10 minutes.

In parallel, beat the prepared chilled egg whites.

Ready hot syrup, slowly pour in a trickle into the proteins whipped at maximum speed. The cream will sag slightly at first, continue whisking and in the process the mass will increase again, become thick and keep its shape.

Following the syrup, add lemon juice, vanilla, continuing to beat the mass until it is stable and retains its shape.

Add jam to the bottom of each basket.

Put the airy protein cream into a confectionery bag with an appropriate nozzle, and form beautiful snow-white peaks.

This is what a miracle happened to me! Cakes "Baskets" according to this recipe are simply perfect: beautiful, fragrant and tender. They can be both a wonderful everyday dessert and an excellent addition to the festive table.

For example, if you are planning a birthday, make desserts in the same theme as the birthday cake. Observe the similarity in the design of the cake and pastries. For festive decor, feel free to use various kinds of sprinkles, chocolate topping, candied fruits, pieces of marmalade, marshmallows, fresh fruits and berries (according to the season).

This dessert is truly universal. Bring the recipe for the "Basket" cake to life in your kitchen, and you will never be able to part with it!

The quality of the protein cream is affected only by the freshness of the eggs. Market egg whites instantly turn into a thick cream, and store-bought packages can surprise you: “aged” eggs never form a stable foam when beaten.

Margarine is taken out of the refrigerator in advance, then the soft bar is cut into cubes.

Pour margarine with sugar, pass through the mass with a fork. It is not necessary to achieve the dissolution of sugar, you just need to mix the ingredients.

Add fresh large eggs.

Flour is poured out, soda is quenched with vinegar.

The dough is kneaded, rolled up, tightened with a film. An hour and a half is allotted for “ripening”, at this time the dough should be in the refrigerator. It can be stored in the refrigerator for two days, the quality of the baskets will not suffer.

Cake molds are greased with sunflower oil or margarine. It is necessary to coat each bulge of the mold so that the finished cake baskets do not break or crumble. Roll out the dough, the thickness of the layer is 5 millimeters. Circles are squeezed out with a cup, then they are placed in a mold. The bottoms of future baskets are pierced.

The baskets are placed in a preheated oven, the temperature is 180 degrees. After 30 minutes, the baskets will turn golden, and the thickness of the “basket walls” will increase to one and a half to two centimeters. Baskets are taken out of the molds and stacked in columns.

Preparation of protein cream for cake baskets

Three chilled proteins are placed in a bowl and beat with a blender at maximum speed.

When the protein mass thickens, add citric acid and a couple of tablespoons of sugar. Continue whisking until the sweet crystals are completely dissolved, then pour two more tablespoons of sugar, beat again. Do the same with the remaining sugar.

The cream is filled with a culinary bag with a notched nozzle. Squeeze out the protein cream in the form of a spiral.

Kiwi is peeled, cut into rings and half rings. Films are removed from tangerine slices, first making an incision with scissors.

Cake baskets are decorated with fruits, immediately served to the table. Such cakes cannot be stored for a long time, since long-term storage requires the obligatory lubrication of fruit slices with a gelling compound.
