Honey "Anthill" - a recipe for true sweet tooths
The Ant Hill cake is one of the best ways to quickly prepare for guests and treat them to a delicious dessert. It doesn't require any exclusive ingredients: any home cook always has everything they need on hand. The recipe for this dish may vary depending on the ingredients. Perhaps one of the most exquisite is the "Anthill" cake with honey.
Honey Masterpiece
To prepare a honey dessert recipe, you will need:
- egg;
- a glass of sugar;
- 5 tablespoons of milk;
- a pack of butter;
- 4 cups flour;
- half a teaspoon of soda, quenched with vinegar;
- a can of condensed milk;
- 2 tablespoons of honey;
- walnuts (1 cup).
Use the following dough recipe to prepare the base for this treat:
- Half of the butter needs to be melted over the fire, and then sugar should be added to it.
- When the mixture has cooled and the sugar has dissolved, add the egg and milk. Mix everything carefully.
- Dissolve the baking soda in vinegar, pour it into the dough, and mix thoroughly again. It's best to use a blender or mixer to ensure a smooth dough.
- Gradually add flour to the mixture. Knead into a stiff shortcrust pastry, dusting it generously with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cut the dough into pieces and mince each piece, using a knife to lift it and place it on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet. The resulting pattern should resemble worms.
- Bake the cake base in the oven for half an hour at 150 degrees Celsius (300 degrees Fahrenheit). Avoid overcooking or overcooking the cake, as this will cause it to break easily.
- Break the prepared shortcrust pastry for the "Anthill" dessert with honey into pieces and place in a bowl.
Now let's get to the cream recipe. If you don't like honey, you can omit it from the ingredients, but the Ant Hill cake still tastes better with honey.
- Melt the remaining butter and then cool to room temperature.
- Pour condensed milk into the butter, mix with honey and add walnuts.
Add the cream to the shortcrust pastry crumbs and mix. Then shape the cake into a round mound, resembling an anthill. Refrigerate it to harden. Enjoy in a few hours!
You can also make the cream without condensed milk, using only honey. To do this, melt a cup of honey and add half a cup of sugar. This way, the cake will be quite sweet, a personal preference, but it pairs beautifully with walnuts.
Possible options
The recipe for this delicacy can be varied, simplified, or supplemented with other ingredients. You can use store-bought shortbread cookies as a base, break them into pieces, and spread them with cream. This is much easier and quicker than baking the dough yourself.
If the condensed milk is too thin, you can simmer it for an hour. This will give it a toffee-like consistency and a unique flavor. The recipe calls for walnuts, but they're optional.
"Muraveinik" is a simple dessert, but it's a perfect substitute for a festive cake, Eastern sweets, or simple tea cookies. It's sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth.
We wish you a good mood and bon appétit!
