It seems that the most delicious baked goods come from childhood. Do you remember selling these milk shortcakes in the school canteen? Even if you don’t remember, be sure to cook it for your children. They will definitely appreciate it!

Milk shortcakes according to GOST - a recipe from childhood

This is the “best” recipe of our childhood. It's all about the cooking technology, about brewing the sugar and milk syrup. Thanks to it, the shortcakes turn out fluffier and more tender.

I recommend preparing them, although they will turn out very tasty without syrup.

To prepare we will need:

  • Wheat flour – 400 gr.
  • Sugar – 200g.
  • Butter – 100 gr.
  • Milk – 80 ml.
  • Eggs – 1 pc.
  • Baking powder – 2 tsp.
  • Vanilla sugar – 10 gr.
  • Yolk + 1 tsp. water for lubrication

1. First you need to boil the milk syrup. Pour sugar, vanilla sugar and milk into a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring to a boil, but do not boil. Remove from the stove and cool completely. Stir the cooled syrup until smooth.

2. Place room temperature oil in a separate bowl. Grind it a little with a whisk until it reaches a creamy consistency and gradually pour the syrup into it, continuing to stir.

3. Break the egg into a saucer, mix with a fork and add it to the oil mixture. Mix flour with baking powder. Stirring this dry mixture little by little, add it to the liquid mixture.

4. Knead the dough. Knead with your hands until it stops sticking and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. Divide the dough into 2 parts for convenience and roll it out to a thickness of 7 mm. Using a mold, squeeze out the shortcakes.

6. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix the yolk with some water and brush the tops of the shortbreads until golden brown.

7. Use a fork to make patterns on the surface of the shortcakes. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 12 minutes.

We got 23 shortcakes with a diameter of 8 cm. Soft, moderately crumbly and moderately sweet.

Enjoy your tea!

Milk shortbread recipe, tender shortbread

Very tasty shortcakes with added milk.

  • 400-450 g flour
  • 200 g sugar
  • 100 ml milk
  • 100 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 p. vanilla sugar (10 g)
  • 1 #8260;2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 yolk + 1 tsp. water for lubrication

Delicate soft-crispy milk shortcakes come from childhood. I think many people are familiar with these milk shortcakes, and they are still often sold somewhere. You can prepare such milk shortcakes at home, and they are prepared, I tell you, simply elementary. It turns out to be economically profitable and, of course, very tasty, besides, you always know what you put in there, in particular, good butter, and not cheap margarine, as in production. I got 16 shortcakes, 10 cm in diameter.

Place sugar, vanilla sugar and milk in a small saucepan with a thick bottom. Bring to a boil while stirring and simmer over low heat for a couple of minutes. Then cool completely; after cooling, you get a slightly viscous sugar syrup.

Beat soft butter and egg a little with a mixer.

Continuing to beat, gradually pour in the syrup in a thin stream.

Mix flour with baking powder. Gradually add flour, stirring in with a spoon or spatula, but do not knead for too long. You may need more or less flour depending on its moisture absorption capacity (I used 450g). The dough should be soft, pleasant to the touch, not sticky to your hands, but at the same time not at all tight and very pliable.

Roll out the resulting dough to a thickness of approximately 7 mm, cut out circles with a mold. The diameter of my mold is 10 cm, if you don’t have molds, you can cut it with a large cup, a small salad bowl, etc.

Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Mix the yolk with water and brush the shortcakes with a brush. If desired, draw a pattern on the shortcakes with a fork. I simply ran a fork through two parallel stripes twice, and then crosswise twice more. The day before, I examined in detail the store-bought shortbread that my husband bought, and I think that the pattern is drawn exactly like this :-), at least on those shortbreads that are sold in our nearest store. I also sprinkled some of the shortcakes with chopped almonds (the nuts need to be slightly pressed onto the dough with your hand).

Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees and bake for about 10-15 minutes. I baked for 15 minutes, but use your oven as a guide; the shortcakes should be lightly browned in the center and a little more on the sides. If you like them softer, keep them a little less, and for crispier ones, vice versa. Cool the finished shortcakes completely. Here are the shortcakes with nuts.

But simple ones with a pattern.

Milk shortcakes become especially tasty the next day, and in general they are stored for quite a long time without compromising quality. If you like soft cakes, then store them in a bag, but you can store them that way, then they will be completely crispy. Milk shortcakes are soft-crispy, have a wonderful milky-vanilla aroma and a slightly crumbly structure. They are good served with milk, but they also go well with tea and coffee!

Thank you, Elena! When I was a child, there were similar shortbread rings with nuts in stores. I'll definitely cook it!

  • Elena 07/05/2015 16:44

Just in case, I would like to clarify that in Soviet times, and even now, there were shortcakes and shortbread rings with nuts, these are baked goods of different tastes.:) The shortbread ring with nuts has a hole in the middle, this is just a classic shortbread dough, very crumbly and high-calorie, often with nuts on top. But milk shortcakes have a different dough composition, they don’t have a hole in the middle, they have a completely different taste, they have significantly less calories and are not so crumbly, they can have nuts on top or just a pattern. So in this recipe, these are shortbreads. I just asked my husband the day before whether you should bake shortbreads or a shortbread ring, and he said, isn’t it the same thing.:) ) Which sincerely surprised me, after which he listened to a short lecture on the variety of baked goods according to GOST

Yes, I also thought it was the same thing. Thanks for the clarification. We'll know!

  • Alexander 07/05/2015 21:20
    Elena, and the omelet, like in Soviet times, can be repeated
  • Elena 07/05/2015 23:44
    There is this omelet - Omelet like in kindergarten. It tastes exactly like what I ate as a child, I think it was the same in other catering establishments.

    As a child, I loved these kinds of shortcakes, specifically the milk ones. But I didn’t really like sand rings. I’ll definitely make this for myself and the kids one of these days, thanks for the recipe. )

  • Olga_K 07/05/2015 22:49
    One of my favorite treats since childhood, and with tomato juice. I will definitely be baking! Helen, what is the syrup used for? What does this mean for the test? Thank you very much for the recipe!
  • Elena 07/05/2015 23:57
    The syrup is boiled in order to dissolve the sugar, so the baked goods are much more tender than with simply added sugar. Theoretically, the same effect can be achieved by adding just milk and powdered sugar, but the classic recipe for milk shortcakes according to GOST assumes the presence of milk-sugar syrup .

    Thanks for the explanation. )))

  • Alla 07/07/2015 17:06
    Lenochka, please tell me, can you add chocolate drops (heat-stable) to these shortcakes? or not worth it? How do you think? Thank you))
  • Elena 07/08/2015 11:56
    You can add any additives to the shortcakes, just like you can to cookies. I think it would be delicious with chocolate chips.
  • Katrin 07/09/2015 07:38
    It turned out delicious, but the stripes didn’t work out.
  • Irinka 07/09/2015 22:37
  • Lena 07/10/2015 22:17
    Oh, Lenochka, could you also post the recipe for the sand ring. This was my favorite delicacy as a child. I recently saw it in a store, bought it, and was disappointed! Not the same taste at all! You explained to us the difference between rings and shortcakes. Now I really want to bake it myself! I will be very grateful to you.

  • Tasha 07/14/2015 18:56
    The shortcakes turned out very tasty :), but my intuition tells me that tomorrow, i.e. the next day, I won’t recognize their taste anymore - they will all be “sentenced” that same evening)))). Lenochka, thank you very much. PS I join the request about sand rings
  • Damira 07/16/2015 10:50
    Lenochka can you answer my milk has curdled, what should I do?
  • Elena 07/16/2015 13:54
    This shouldn’t happen, perhaps the milk is not the freshest. It is better to prepare the syrup again with a different milk.

    Yesterday I made a double portion, some without any addition, and others with peanuts, coconut and chocolate. Everything is delicious. I really appreciate the delicious recipe! Olena, you make twists for the winter, so I would like to try your recipe. All the best!

  • Elena 07/16/2015 14:04
    I'm glad you liked the shortcakes! Unfortunately, I can’t help with the second one, since I don’t do twists for the winter.

    Thanks for the wonderful childhood recipe)

  • Elena 08/03/2015 19:22
    Handsome, rosy-cheeked! I'm glad you liked the shortcakes, I hope your vacation was a success ;-)

    Simply and easily! And very tasty! True, mine turned out not as beautiful as yours, Elena. But children die with pleasure))) :-)

  • Lena-California 08/15/2015 20:08
    Lenochka - thanks for the recipe - I just put it on a dish - I tried one - soft - fragrant - from childhood - my mother baked shortcakes in a small electric. oven - how happy my sister and I were. and I also prepared the syrup in the evening - I also defrosted the butter - I just have to finish it in the morning - it’s a pity I can’t make a photo report - I just don’t know how - my grandchildren are laughing - one is 12, one is 7 - grandma - you don’t know how? We'll teach you.
  • Elena 08/16/2015 00:04
    Glad you liked the shortcakes! In my childhood, my mother and sister also baked in the same small electric oven, only not shortcakes, but mostly pies. Thanks for the memory. -)

    Thanks for the “childhood”! Very useful recipe. I think I will do it often. If you can clarify: when it says 1/2 teaspoon of soda, is it heaped or even??

  • Elena 08/19/2015 11:52
  • Svetlana 08/24/2015 15:23
    Thanks for the recipe! delicious!
  • Ekaterina 08/28/2015 16:00
  • Elena 08/28/2015 23:11
    Oh, what a good assistant you have!

    Tell me, how did you make the stripes pattern?

  • Katerina St 09/03/2015 13:11
    Marina, read the recipe carefully. Lenochka described everything in such detail that carefully reading fans of this site should not have any questions))))))
  • Natalya 09/18/2015 09:58
    Good afternoon, I wanted to share my experience. I already read that milk curdled, the same story happened. I'm guilty of vanilla sugar, because... Having made a second portion of milk and sugar without vanilla, everything was fine, the milk did not curdle. Apparently something not specified in the composition was added to vanilla sugar. It's better to do without it. And the shortcakes are awesome, the kids are so beautiful, I make them thicker and very soft and tender.
  • Natasha 09.27.2015 16:26
    Please tell me why the shortcakes turned out hard and not crumbly. I made a double portion and was upset - store-bought ones are softer. I measured everything on a scale, softened the butter at room temperature, tried keeping it in the oven less and rolling it out thicker. Still tough. Thank you. All the cakes come from the site, but here it’s a failure (((
  • Elena 09.27.2015 20:52
    It’s difficult to say in absentia, either the baking powder failed, or it’s just the peculiarities of the oven. Try baking at a lower temperature (170-180 degrees) and for less time. When you take the shortcakes out of the oven, they should still be quite soft, but when they cool down they become as desired. And those that are hard, put them in a bag and tie them well, they will become softer tomorrow.
  • Elena 04.10.2015 23:24
    Beautiful shortcakes! Thanks for the photo report!

    Good day, Elena. Thank you for the recipes, this is not the first time I’ve cooked using the site. Please clarify that in the photo of the products shown there are two eggs. And there is one thing on the list. I don’t see many failures in the comments, so they added one at a time, it seems)

  • Ekaterina 10.27.2015 19:25
    Oh, sorry for the stupidity)) second egg for greasing)) first comment and such a fiasco))
  • Elena 10.28.2015 16:04
    Yolk from the second egg for greasing)) I specially placed the eggs in different corners, but apparently it was necessary to photograph the already separated yolk in the bowl for complete clarity))

    Helen, thank you so much for the recipe, it turned out very tasty. This is not the first time I have used your recipes, you are smart.

  • Tatyana 12/09/2015 08:44

  • Tatyana 12/18/2015 16:00
    Shortcakes, juice cakes, potato cake. For some reason I didn’t like them as a child and didn’t understand those who admired them. But I decided to bake something for my husband for tea. I came across this recipe and all the ingredients were on hand. I prepared it and was simply amazed at how incredibly delicious it was. Tasty, easy, fast. The result is amazing.

I liked the second ones more - they are softer, more like store-bought ones. Thank you, Lenochka, for the recipe! And the dough is so pleasant: soft and fragrant!

Kefir shortbread in the oven, like in kindergarten

They also prepared kefir cakes for us in kindergarten. They saved us when they gave us milk with foam. Remember? Thanks to the dessert, the drink went down quickly.

1. Place the butter in a saucepan. Melt it over low heat. Then remove the pan from the heat and let the liquid oil cool a little.

2. Pour sugar into the saucepan and mix everything vigorously. Then break one egg into the mixture. Prepare a blender with a whisk attachment. Immerse it in the mixture and grind it until smooth.

3. Open the package of kefir and pour the required amount into the mixture. Beat it again with a mixer.

4. Sift the flour into a separate bowl. Take only half of its total amount. Add soda and salt to it. Mix everything.

Milk shortcakes. Step by step recipe

Pour milk into the bowl, by the way, it doesn’t matter what the fat content is. I cook with 1.5 percent fat milk. Add granulated sugar, stir, heat on the stove. There is no need to bring it to a boil; as soon as the sugar has dissolved, turn off the heat.

Immediately add room temperature margarine to the hot mixture, dissolve - stirring thoroughly with a whisk.

Pour the hot mixture into another cup, cool to a slightly warm temperature. Required! A hot mixture will absorb more flour.

The chicken egg should be shaken until smooth with a fork.

Place half into the cooled mixture, and leave the other half for greasing the shortcakes.

Add vanillin, a couple of pinches will be enough. You can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar instead.

Gradually add sifted flour along with baking powder. Bring the dough to a thick state.

Place the resulting lump on a dusty table and mix it in just a little. It took 450 grams of flour, the maximum you may need is 500 grams... It’s definitely not worth more, the dough will be clogged and the cakes won’t turn out so soft.

Roll out the dough about one centimeter thick - this is for soft cakes, and if you want crispy ones, then make the thickness thinner (you can bake longer). Cut out identical shortcakes. We collect the scraps and roll them out again.

We transfer the cakes to a baking sheet with parchment, you can simply grease them with oil. Brush the top with the remaining half of the egg.

Bake at 200 degrees for only 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool and the milk shortcakes are ready.

Recipe for cooking using raw milk method

Ingredients

  • flour - 423 gr.
  • granulated sugar - 210 gr.
  • margarine - 96 gr.
  • melange - 21 gr.
  • whole milk - 76 gr.
  • soda - 2 gr.
  • ammonium - 4 g.
  • vanillin - 0.2 gr.
  • output 10 pcs. 75 gr.
  • Instead of ammonium and soda, I used baking powder in a ratio of 100 grams. flour - 4g powder

Step-by-step cooking recipe

  1. The dough is prepared using the raw method using milk. Cut and bake, just do not sprinkle sugar on top.
  2. Sugar is pre-dissolved in hot milk. The resulting syrup is cooled and before kneading the dough should have a temperature within +18...20 C. All auxiliary materials provided for in the recipe are mixed with sugar syrup, and then flour is added and the dough is kneaded. The dough should be kneaded quickly to avoid over-drying the dough, however, it should be well kneaded until smooth. At the end of kneading, the dough immediately goes to cutting.
  3. Because I didn’t have any suitable cutting, so I used a basket mold. The dough turned out very tender. Bake at a temperature of 160-170g - 13-15 minutes.
  4. Bon appetit.
