• We spread the oil from the refrigerator. For the cream, we need it in a softened form.

Dough

1. We take margarine, cut into pieces and melt in a small metal container. I like to use a quality creamy margarine for baking, which can be easily replaced with butter if desired.
2. We spread the right amount sour cream into a deep container for dough and pour soda into it. Stir and leave for 2 minutes so that a reaction begins between soda and sour cream. If you want to add baking powder to the dough instead of baking soda, then you will need to mix it and sift it with flour.

Or you can cook according to the second option:

1. We wrap the sausages with foil and on We send 20 minutes to the freezer.



2. We bake for 15-20 minutes in the middle position in the warm up to 180 ° oven until lightly browned. If you overexpose, the worms will turn out to be tough.
   
   
3. Cream can be prepared during baking. To do this, put a little more than half of the condensed milk and butter in the mixer bowl.
4. Beat the contents until smooth.
5. Grind the cooled worms with your hands into large crumbs. If desired, you can mix them with nuts, dried and crushed to a crumb size. Instead of nuts, I sometimes add peeled and toasted seeds.



6. Let's start forming the cakes. I have adapted to do this in a plastic half from a large kinder. You can use muffin tins or other suitable containers. The mold must be moistened with water every time.



7. We continue in the same spirit until all the cakes are formed.
   
   
   
   
8. If desired, melt the chocolate, put it on a spoon and quickly and chaotically water the anthills in a thin stream. You can also roll them in poppy seeds, coconut or toasted sesame seeds.

Then add flour and baking soda. Soda does not need to be extinguished additionally, it will be extinguished with sour cream acid.

Stir first into crumbs.

And then collect the dough in homogeneous mass and cut into pieces. You can cool them for a while or even freeze them if you rub them on a grater later.

Prepare flagella from the dough, grate or scroll it through a meat grinder.

Spread the dough on a baking sheet, such as a silicone mat.

Bake it shortcrust pastry in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Mix the ingredients into a smooth cream by hand or with a blender.

Combine and mix the cream with the sand crumbs.

Step 1: prepare the dough.

Wheat flour can be sieved through a strainer.

Remove the margarine from the refrigerator in advance so that after standing at room temperature it becomes softer and easily wrinkled in your fingers.

Mix wheat flour and margarine, you get a dough of crumbs. Rub it well with your fingers so that all the flour "sticks".

Meanwhile mix chilled heavy cream with baking powder for dough. Beat everything with a mixer to make a cream.

Stir in cream with flour and margarine. Knead for 3 minutes... You will end up with a dough consisting entirely of fairly large crumbs - lumps.

Step 2: rub the dough.

Take a coarse grater and grind with it all the dough to make a small crumb. If the mass comes out very crumbly, then you are doing everything right.

Step 3: bake the dough.

Line a baking tray with parchment and sprinkle the dough over it. The mass should lie in one layer. If all the dough is not included at once, bake in several stages.
You need to bake in a well-heated until 200 degrees oven for 15 minutes... The dough will brown, but it will also remain crumbly. Leave it to cool at room temperature for a while.

Step 4: mix condensed milk with butter.

Butter, like margarine, soften at room temperature, and then mix with condensed milk, turning everything into a homogeneous creamy mass. You can even beat with a mixer.

Step 5: shape the cake.

Now take boiled condensed milk with butter and mix it with baked dough crumbs. Stir very well and shape into cakes. Any form can be, the simplest is a ball. But since the name "Anthill", then let's give the mass the appropriate shape.

Take tall glasses, moisten them with water, and using a tablespoon, carefully fill them with dough with condensed milk, and then just as gently, turning the glass over, place the cake on a cutting board.
After that, the dessert will only have to be infused in the refrigerator. Minimum 2 hours, and better all 24 hours... Garnish with chocolate or waffle crumbs, powdered sugar, or toasted crushed nuts if desired.

Step 6: serve the cake.

Anthill cake is served chilled as a dessert. Great for both family tea drinking and for a noisy party, especially for children, although adults do not mind eating at all, despite all their newfangled diets.
Bon Appetit!

To boil the condensed milk, line the pot with a tea towel without opening the jar, place it on the towel and fill it with water. Place everything on the stove and simmer for at least 2 hours. After boiling, let cool and be careful when opening.

The ant is a symbol of hard work, but the cake and cake called "Anthill" is often called a dessert for lazy housewives. Although, in fairness, I must say: there are different recipes, some can really be implemented very quickly, others require a significant investment of time and effort.

The fact is that " Anthill"Gives the hostess the opportunity to show her imagination, experiment with ingredients and manufacturing technology, well, it turns out that in one kitchen they perform sacred ceremonies, in the other they cook according to the principle" once - and you're done! ".

A rare case: at first, "Anthill" was an exclusively homemade dessert (the peak of popularity was in the 70s-80s of the last century), and then its production "on an industrial scale" began. More often it happens the other way around - store shelves give an impetus to creative thought, I want to not only repeat, but also surpass.

What and how is the Anthill cake prepared?

"Anthill" does not require the presence of any rare products, therefore, at the time of food shortages, it became a real find - cone-shaped pastries and cakes were often prepared for holiday dates.

Today, women who take their first steps in the kitchen, but would like to be known as wonderful housewives, it is best to start surprising with "Anthill". This dessert very hard to screw up, and if any oversights do occur, they can be easily corrected by adding nuts or condensed milk.

The procedure for working on a cake usually consists of four stages:

• kneading dough,
• turning the dough into crumbs and baking,
• preparation of the cream,
• shaping and decorating cakes.

Adjustments are made to the traditional recipe based on the ingredients selected. If, for example, as a "building material" we take corn sticks, then there is no need to knead the dough and use the oven (by the way, you can find references on the Internet that such a dessert is prepared even on the basis of popcorn).

But you can't do without a cream, but it can be made from different products: from condensed milk, sour cream, honey and even from sweets - melted milk toffee.

If the dough is prepared according to classic version, then it is usually scrolled through a meat grinder, and then fried in the oven so that it acquires a beautiful golden hue.

In the absence of a meat grinder, the dough is rolled out with a rolling pin and cut into something like noodles. Sometimes they simply separate small pieces from the dough and roll sausages from them (the latter method is suitable only for those who have a lot of free time or have a need to keep the child busy with useful household work).

It takes about 2-3 hours for the cake to be soaked in cream. It's good if there is an opportunity to remove the cakes in the refrigerator for the whole night- they will be saturated there and become one.

Why is it better to cook not cake, but cakes? The fact is that "Anthill" is not so easy to cut to make even beautiful pieces - it crumbles, such is its structure.

There is more aesthetics in the cake: it looks great on the table, and besides, the next day (if the guests do not eat everything) it will remain the same cute dessert, as if it was just cooked, and the cake, unfortunately, will not be a cake anymore. but just slag.

The other is with the popular meat grinder cake in the United States. It was invented in the state of Pennsylvania by immigrants from Germany and Holland; the dish has become one of the main culinary attributes of carnivals, fairs, and festivals.

People enjoy similar desserts Worldwide: in Austria it is "strauben", in Finland - "tippaleipya", in Slovenia - a dish called "flankati", in Iran - "zulbia", among the inhabitants of India - "jalebi".

All of these dishes are prepared in a similar way - the dough is passed through a meat grinder, fried. Finished products are sprinkled with cinnamon, powdered sugar, nuts.

The cake dough can be frozen and then grate- many housewives like this option, because they do not have to spend time washing the meat grinder (with the help of which the dough for dessert is traditionally prepared).

In order for the taste of the delicacy to be more original, you can add finely grated to the dough citrus zest and some alcoholic beverages(liqueur, rum, brandy).

Do not keep the dough in the oven for too long: if it will overdried, your cakes will turn out tough and therefore unpleasant.
