A source of protein and vitamins

So much is said about the benefits of cottage cheese and so often that it makes no sense to dwell on it once again. We will only remind that it is a source of easily digestible proteins, which serve as building blocks for muscle fibers, and calcium, which our bones need. That is why cottage cheese is so often recommended:

• children - for full growth and development;
• athletes - to increase muscle mass and increase endurance;
• sick - to recover as soon as possible.

Moreover, cottage cheese contains vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which together endow eaters with health, vigor and good mood. It helps to improve the appearance - in particular, the regular appearance of curd dishes on your table will have the most beneficial effect on the condition of your hair, teeth and nails. In addition, it is a real dietary product with which it is so easy to lose weight. Of course, all that has been said can also be attributed to cheese cakes, since all the wonderful properties of cottage cheese with minimal losses migrate into this delicacy.

Product selection

Since cottage cheese is the main component of curd cakes, you need to choose it especially picky.

1. It doesn't matter whether this glorious product is made from cow, goat or, for example, sheep's milk, which is not very popular in our country, but enjoys the well-deserved love of gourmets in the Caucasus. It is important that it does not turn out to be too wet, otherwise your cheesecakes will not hold their shape and will spread over the pan. You can also cope with such cottage cheese by adding more flour to it, but this will not benefit either the airiness or softness of the finished dish.

2. It is advisable to use granular, "granular" curd. It is from this, and not from the smooth curd mass, that the most delicious crumbly cheese cakes are obtained.

   

   Give preference to crumbly curd

3. Try not to take low-fat cottage cheese, even if you are on a diet. Your body will not be able to "squeeze" out of it even half of the nutrients that it could receive. Better buy 5 or 9% of the product and eat a little less than you planned.
4. If you can get some homemade cottage cheese, fine. Usually, private traders feed their cattle less antibiotics and chemical additives, so the product obtained from it will, by definition, be more useful. But here a lot depends on the conscientiousness of the owners, so it is better to look for proven "suppliers" on the recommendations of friends. And one more thing: make sure that there is less whey in the curd you bought, which will make the product too wet.
5. Flour will give the cheese pancakes the necessary density. Look for wheat, and if for some reason you do not want or cannot use it, semolina or oatmeal ground in a coffee grinder will come to the rescue.
6. You should not blindly trust the ratios of ingredients indicated in the recipes for one simple reason: your curd may be too different from the one used by the authors. For example, be much drier or wetter. Therefore, add flour to it in portions and monitor the state of the curd "dough". As soon as it begins to hold the shape that you give it, it's time to stop.
7. Well, we simply do not consider such a criterion as the freshness of cottage cheese. It goes without saying.

How to make curd cakes lush

Flat curd cakes are unlikely to delight your home. Cheesecakes, by definition, must be plump, half of their charm lies in airiness and softness. And the hostesses, who have long been competing with each other in culinary skills, have invented many ways to achieve this.

1. If low-fat cottage cheese does not benefit the body, then too fatty will prevent you from achieving the desired consistency of cheesecakes. 18% or more is an overkill.

2. The usual … sieve will help to achieve airiness. Rub the cottage cheese through it, and you will see for yourself how tender it will become. If you are a perfectionist, you can do it two times, the future treat will benefit from it.

   

   The grated curd acquires a unique airiness and uniform consistency

3. Do not get carried away with flour. She will not let the cheese pancakes fall apart, but in return will make them too hard. And if, as suggested above, you replace flour with semolina or oat flour, they will pull excess moisture out of the curd and swell, giving the dish the required volume.
4. At worst, add soda slaked with vinegar or lemon juice to the curd. But even here you need to know when to stop: if you overdo it, and the food will acquire an unexpected unpleasant aftertaste.
5. Fry cheese cakes in a hot skillet. So the crust will set faster and prevent them from spreading into a pancake.

Where to cook?

Wherever you wish. Without the slightest restrictions!

1. Want a golden brown? Take a frying pan and oil.
2. Do you value your time? A microwave will come in handy.
3. Would you like to receive a dietary product? Get out the steamer or, if this attribute of healthy food is not in your kitchen, put a pot of water on the fire and cover it with a colander - an impromptu steamer will be ready in just five minutes, as soon as the water boils.
4. Slightly less useful, but still low-calorie and tasty cheesecakes are obtained in the oven, especially if you bake them without oil, on a sheet of baking paper.
5. Well, the multicooker will give you both steamed and baked cheese cakes. It all depends on the chosen program.

Features of making cheesecakes for children

Semolina, orange peel, baking powder … It is unlikely that all this will be useful for the youngest members of the family, for whom young mothers usually try! Let's consider what of all of the above can be added to dishes for children, and what should be discarded.

Most pediatricians agree that the acquaintance of babies with the traditional curd delicacy should begin no earlier than the child turns one and a half years old. But if the menu of the crumbs has already managed to be replenished with cottage cheese, and the baby took it without problems, it is allowed to occasionally treat him to cheese cakes from the age of one. However, at the same time strictly observe the established rules of "acquaintance".

1. Use a minimum of ingredients. No fruit, cocoa, or cinnamon! Only cottage cheese, an egg and a little salt. Sometimes it is allowed to use a little butter in the recipe, but it is better to refuse flour.
2. Serve cheesecakes without dressing. Sour cream, and even more so condensed milk or jam, should appear on the child's menu not at 2 or even 2.5 years of age. With honey, the situation is even more complicated, since it is a strong allergen and is not recommended for feeding babies.
3. It will be useful to replace chicken eggs with quail eggs in a 1: 2 ratio.
4. Bake cheese cakes in the oven or double boiler. Or, at the very least, use a sharp knife to cut off the toasted crust.
5. At first, cook syrniki no more than 1 time a week - 1 piece each. Over time, if the relationship of the baby with the new product develops safely, the rate can be increased.

6. Do not treat your child to cheesecakes before bed. This is too heavy food for a tender child's stomach.

   

   There are special requirements for the dishes prepared for children

If you like the proposed recipes, do not stop there. Start creating yourself! For example, bake a curd treat with your favorite fruits or herbs in case you don't have a sweet tooth. Or experiment with a steamer and microwave. Or use grained cottage cheese as a base: it can turn out to be both tasty and interesting. Most importantly, do not forget to share your little masterpieces with your family so that they can appreciate the level of your growing skill.
