This delicacy can be found only in the open spaces of the former Soviet Union. It is not only sold in stores, but many housewives bake it on their own. After all, the recipe for nuts with condensed milk in hazel is simple, even children can be involved in the baking process.

Dough for nuts with condensed milk in hazel

There are many options how to make a batch for nuts with condensed milk.

The most popular that came with hazel pans included:

  • butter or margarine - 250 g;
  • eggs - 3 pcs.;
  • sugar - 200 g;
  • slaked soda - 3 g;
  • salt - 1.5 g;
  • flour - 400 g.

Knead the dough in steps:

  1. Grind the soft butter with sugar, then, continuing to work actively with a whisk, introduce eggs one at a time.
  2. Then it remains to add slaked soda, flour mixed with salt, and quickly knead. Short kneading dough changes its properties for the worse.
  3. If the dough is very soft, you can put it in the refrigerator for a while before baking. Then, balls must be formed from it, with which to fill the grooves in the hazel, baking the shell.
  4. From the cooled cookies, collect the nuts by putting in the filling boiled condensed milk or cream based on it.

Since nuts with condensed milk are a dessert dating back to the time when ammonia and soda were used to loosen the dough, it is the latter product that is most often found in recipes. But now soda can be replaced with a baking powder in a ratio of 1: 2 (one part of sodium bicarbonate into two parts of baking powder).

Classic sweets recipe

It may seem strange, but the feature of classic nuts is that margarine is used for the test, which gives the dessert a specific taste.Of course, this product can be replaced with butter or a vegetable-creamy mixture (spread). Such a departure from the recipe will not spoil the dessert.

And the proportions of the ingredients in the classic sweet recipe will be as follows:

  • margarine - 250 g;
  • sugar - 100 g;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • flour - 380-390 g;
  • soda - 3-5 g;
  • salt;
  • lemon juice or soda to quench soda;
  • boiled condensed milk - 380 g.

The sequence of actions:

  1. First, prepare the margarine. It needs to be melted (on a stove or in the microwave) and cool a little so that the eggs do not curl from the temperature, but the product remains liquid.
  2. Drive eggs into a bowl, add salt and sugar, and then beat with a whisk in a light foamy mass. Next, add margarine, slaked soda, when the mixture becomes homogeneous, stir in the flour.
  3. From the soft, elastic and rather greasy dough, bake the shells, which are filled with a filling of boiled condensed milk, and glue in pairs.

An important point: if you use butter, it can separate from the dough by showing a greasy stain on the table, then the mass will need to be kneaded periodically. This does not happen with margarine.

How to do in a Soviet way

In Soviet times, for baking “shells” for cookies “Nuts”, special hazel pans or molds in the form of hemispheres were used.

Now this dessert can be prepared in electric hazel, using a proven recipe for our mothers and grandmothers:

  • chicken yolk - 195 g (about 3 large pieces);
  • sugar - 110 g;
  • butter - 200 g;
  • sour cream - 30 g;
  • salt - 2 g;
  • soda - 2 g;
  • lemon juice - 5 ml;
  • flour - 390 g;
  • boiled condensed milk - 1 can.

 

How to knead the dough:

  1. Beat the yolks with a mixer with sugar and salt until a tender, light cream is added, into which then add very soft butter and sour cream. Stir thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Next, sift a little less than half the norm of the flour, stir, introduce slaked soda and the remaining grain product. A loose, crumbling, but behind hand mass should come out.

If cooked in half molds, then the dough needs to be rolled into a 4-5 mm thick cake. Then cut oval blanks with molds, which are then evenly distributed inside the "shells". Oven at 190 ° C until golden brown. Glue the finished halves with condensed milk.

Cooking on gas

Now it’s difficult to find a baking dish for nuts on an open fire, but there is good news: they are still being produced, since the popularity of this treat is still not fading.

If you managed to buy a special form or found one "in the bins", it is time to shake off the dust from it and bake delicious nuts from such components:

  • margarine - 150 g;
  • sour cream - 200 g;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • sugar - 250 g;
  • soda - 5 g;
  • flour - 390-410 g;
  • salt and vanillin;
  • boiled condensed milk for the filling - 350-400 g.

The sequence of actions:

  1. Mix flour with salt and vanilla. Grate cold margarine into this loose mass and grind everything into crumbs.
  2. Grind the eggs with sugar and sour cream, mix the resulting mixture with slaked soda and margarine and flour crumbs. Knead a plastic ball of shortcrust pastry.
  3. All that remains is to bake the halves of the future nuts and fasten them together, filling them with the filling.

A baking dish on gas must be generously greased with vegetable oil. Not only recesses and bulges, but the entire surface. So, cookies do not stick to the pan. And also it is worth remembering that the first batch will be baked a little longer, but when the metal of the mold warms up well, things will go more fun.

How to cook soft nuts with condensed milk

Cookies are most often baked from shortcrust pastry, so they remain crisp and crispy even after they are filled with condensed milk and allowed to lie a little.

And to make the soft halves of the shell cookies, you need to use a different test recipe:

  • sugar - 50 g;
  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • sour cream - 100 g;
  • butter - 100 g;
  • soda (extinguish with vinegar) - 5 g;
  • flour - 325-390 g;
  • condensed milk "toffee" (boiled) - 380 g.

Cooking sequence:

  1. Use a whisk to froth eggs with sugar, then add sour cream, melted non-hot oil, slaked soda and flour. The amount of the last ingredient must be adjusted so that the finished lump lags behind hands, but remains soft and plastic.
  2. Next, roll small balls from the dough (approximately equal to half a walnut). In portions, put them into the recesses of hazel greased with vegetable oil and bake the workpieces.
  3. Fill the cooled “shells” with a filling of condensed milk, combine in pairs in nuts and let them lie down a bit, so they will become even softer.

Sour cream in the composition of the test is directly responsible for the softness of the baking, but if it is not there, then nuts can be prepared by replacing it with an equal amount of mayonnaise.

Cooking tips and tricks

In conclusion - a few tips from experienced hostesses.

They will help make homemade pastries more palatable:

  1. If the dough in the mold has gone beyond the recess, and the shell has become similar to the hollow model of Saturn, the excess can be carefully cut with a knife, giving a more accurate look to the liver.
  2. As a filling, you can use boiled condensed milk ("toffee"), bought in a store or made independently. Or add butter to the cream, roasted and minced nuts in a meat grinder, crushed crumbs of dough and chopped dried fruit.
  3. Hazelnuts, hazelnuts or almonds can be used in the form of a sweet nut kernel, placed between two halves filled with filling.

This delicacy has only one drawback - after cooking over an open fire, the gas stove often remains very dirty. But there are many more advantages. After all, you can have a fun and tasty time with the whole family, first involving your husband and children in the baking process, and then drink some tea with homemade cakes.
