Tricks and secrets of making curd dishes in a hurry
- Cottage cheese should be subjected to minimal culinary processing. That is why the baking time of cottage cheese pies or cookies - no more than half an hour in the oven over medium heat.
- All curd dishes have an excellent taste, but when cooked, curd loses some of its beneficial digestion qualities. Therefore, it is preferable to use cottage cheese, not past temperature processing.
- It is not advisable to add baking soda to the curd, especially in large quantities - the soda reacts with acid, the curd loses its structure. This property is used in the manufacture of homemade cheese. But in baking, it can do a disservice - the dough will spread, fry, the products lose shape.
- In many recipes from cottage cheese, used sugar can be replaced with honey - this will add a wonderful flavor to cottage cheese dishes.
