How to cook a bass?

It's great that cooking the bass bus takes quite a bit of time. There are several recipes for cooking the bass. We offer you a recipe for a bass, according to which you bake a sweet dish in the best oriental coffee shops.

In advance, we warn: eastern sweets are traditionally extremely sweet. If you are not a luscious sweetie, then take half the recommended sugar for syrup.

Dough:

Syrup:

Preparation

In the dishes are laid flour, semolina, coconut chips, sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder. All components are thoroughly mixed, after which yoghurt and vegetable oil are added. The beaten egg is poured into the total mass. After mixing the components, a very thick dough is obtained.

Take the form. It is better, if the shapes are low, so that the bass can not get too big. The form is smeared with vegetable oil and dough is poured into it, which is evenly distributed. From the top, without pressing into the dough, almonds are laid out. In a warmed to medium temperature oven is placed a form with a future bass, about 40-45 minutes. Within half an hour after the form was in the oven, the door of the cabinet should not be opened, since the dough will fall off and the baking will not turn out to be magnificent enough. Check whether the baked sweets can be a wooden toothpick. For this, the pie is pierced with a toothpick: if the dough does not stick to it, then the bass drum is already ready.

While the bass is baked, a syrup is prepared for its impregnation. In a small saucepan is laid sugar, lemon juice and water, the mixture is brought to a boil, and boiled for 3 minutes, while you need a constant stirring. Ready syrup should cool down. The baked cake is cut into pieces of a rectangular shape. Orientation is almonds - in the center of each piece should be almonds. Without dismantling the cut pie, the baking is filled with syrup, the sweet liquid is distributed over the entire surface of the bass. Bake is left to cool.

Instead of lemonade, you can use honey or berry syrup. If you like piquant tastes, for impregnation you can use liqueur. For decoration, it is also not necessary to use almonds, you can choose the nuts to your taste: walnuts, cashews or Brazil nuts.

If you do not have a baking powder for the dough, you can cook it yourself. To do this, take 1/3 teaspoon baking soda, a little citric acid and a teaspoon of starch, everything is mixed - ready baking powder at least as good as bought in the store.

Divided into pieces of a bass drum is well stored in a cellophane bag.
