Recently I prepared manna at home and you can imagine my surprise when almost half of my friends who are almost 30 years old tried manna with kefir for the first time. Why, they tried manna with kefir for the first time.
And so I had the idea to introduce you, dear chefs, to this simple and delicious pastry. What is manna? It’s practically the same biscuit, only prepared on the basis of semolina.
There are a huge number of recipes for making manna. And almost every recipe claims to be the most classic one. The basis of any manna was and will be a fermented milk product, be it sour cream, kefir, sour milk. All these are fermented milk products, so choose which one you like best. But there is also a constant composition of manna, which consists of the following set of products: semolina, flour, sugar, butter.
And so, in order to continue the conversation about manna, I suggest starting with the simplest recipe for making manna. There is nothing unusual or complicated in this recipe. All products are familiar and accessible, so let's get to the point.
INGREDIENTS:
Semolina 1 cup.
Sugar 1 glass.
Kefir 1 glass.
Wheat flour 1 cup.
Egg 2-3 pieces.
Butter 120-150 grams.
Baking powder. (or a teaspoon of baking soda).
COOKING PROCESS:
☑ Mix semolina with kefir and leave for an hour so that it gets wet and then does not crunch on your teeth. 
☑ Take the butter out of the refrigerator and leave it on the table at room temperature. So that it becomes soft and can be cooked from it in the future without difficulty.
☑ After an hour, you can start preparing the manna.
☑ Eggs, sugar, flour, butter, mix in a bowl and beat until smooth.
☑ Once everything is mixed, you can add a little baking powder, 1-2 teaspoons will be enough. Leave the mixture for 30 minutes.
☑ Combine the semolina with the rest of the products, mix and place in a baking dish.
☑ Bake the mannik at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for about 30 minutes.
☑ After 30 minutes, take the pie out of the oven, let it cool for 10-15 minutes and you can serve it.
This is the most common recipe for making manna with kefir. This can be said to be the basis of the basics; it’s worth starting to study manna from it so that you can later prepare your own versions of this pastry from the classics. And who knows, maybe in a few years someone will also pass on your recipe from generation to generation.
Mannik with kefir recipe without flour
In fact, semolina is the same flour only coarsely ground. In a pie like manna you can do without flour. True, you will have to first prepare the semolina itself so that it can completely replace flour. First you need to soak the cereal until it swells. But if it is visually clear that the cereal contains foreign objects such as specks or husks, then it is worth sifting the semolina through a large sieve. Or just remove the trash with your hands.
Like all other recipes for manna with kefir, this one is not particularly difficult, except that there is a little more semolina in it than in the classic version.
INGREDIENTS:
Semolina 1.5-2 cups.
Sugar glass.
2 eggs.
Butter.
1.5 cups of kefir.
Vnail 1 sachet.
COOKING PROCESS:
☑ Mix all the prepared semolina in a deep bowl with kefir.
☑ Cereals should be added to kefir in a thin stream, stirring constantly. In order to prevent the appearance of lumps.
☑ Leave the semolina to swell for 40-60 minutes, the longer the better.
☑ Break the eggs into a separate bowl and beat lightly until the yolks combine with the whites, pour the resulting mass into the semolina.
☑ Add sugar to semolina and eggs. Mix everything well until the sugar dissolves.
☑ Add soft butter and vanillin to the dough and mix everything well again.
☑ Grease the form in which we will bake our manna with vegetable oil.
☑ Pour the dough into the mold and place it in the already hot oven.
☑ Manna is prepared for 30-40 minutes at a temperature of 180-190 degrees.

Mannik on kefir with filling
This is a very old recipe for making manna with kefir. My grandmother often prepared manna according to this recipe. But she didn’t just cook it, but always with filling. In the summer, grandma dried plums, apples, cherries and much more, and in the winter she made pies and jelly from dried fruits. She always made everything very tasty. I suggest you prepare manna stuffed with dried plums. Perhaps today it’s easier to find fresh or frozen ones, not dried jelly, well then it doesn’t matter, cook from what you have on hand, I think the taste will only get better from this. I also didn’t have dried ones, so I cook from frozen ones.
INGREDIENTS:
Semolina, flour, sugar and kefir, all in one glass.
2 eggs.
A tablespoon of butter.
Powdered sugar.
Vanilla sugar or vanillin in a bag.
Just a little pinch of salt.
Baking powder (of course grandma added soda)
COOKING PROCESS:
☑ Mix eggs and sugar and a little salt in one bowl and beat until white foam appears.
☑ Add semolina to this foam, mix vanilla flour.
☑The next step is to pour in all the kefir and add baking powder. Mix. The dough is not too thick, this is normal, over time the semolina will absorb the liquid and swell, and then the dough will be like dough.
☑ Leave the dough in this form for 20-30 minutes, but in the meantime you can fire up the oven and let it warm up.
☑ While the oven is heating up and the semolina is swelling, prepare the mold and plums.
☑ Grease the mold with either vegetable oil or butter. It is better to use a silicone mold; the pies always pop out without any problems. Of course, grandma always baked in a frying pan, but why not use progress to your advantage.
☑ It is advisable to defrost the plums first.
☑ And so the dough is ripe, let's get down to business. Pour half the dough into the mold and lay out the plums. Then pour the rest of the dough over the top of the drains.
☑ Put the manna in the oven and bake it at a temperature of 180-190 degrees for about 30 minutes. Check readiness with a toothpick. If it remains dry after piercing the pie, then the pie is ready.
☑ We take our rosy manna out of the oven. Cover the pan with a cutting board or plate. We turn it over and then put the dish on the manna on which you will serve it to the table and turn the manna back onto the dish. Of course, you need to let the pie cool a little otherwise your guests will burn their tongues. Sprinkle the pie with powdered sugar. And we serve it to the table.

To serve manna to the table, you don’t need, in general, anything other than a proven recipe and the desire to do a little more than is required - add a pinch of love, season with a handful of imagination, decorate with a drop of soulfulness. This is perhaps the most important thing you need to know about mannas. However, a little more information won't hurt.
- The correct technology for preparing manna with kefir involves 15-60 minutes, which are given to the cereal for swelling. Pour, mix and set aside - all other stages can be implemented only after this mandatory point in the program.
- Classic manna cakes are cooked in the oven, however, this pie turns out great in a slow cooker or even in a double boiler. To understand which option suits you best, try, compare and enjoy the one you like best.
- It is recommended to cut the manna only after it has completely cooled - otherwise you risk getting not beautiful, even pieces of the pie, but something half-collapsed. Of course, it is worth considering that in most cases, even cooled sliced manna will still not give an even cut, but at least the pieces will be neat.
- The average baking time for manna cakes is 40 minutes, however, you need to focus not so much on the clock as on the appearance of the cake and its goldenness.
- Don’t be lazy to decorate the finished mannas - at least sprinkle with powdered sugar or cocoa using special stencils for cakes, and the appearance of the cake will be completely different.

Place a small part of the dough (about a fifth of it) in a separate bowl, mix with cocoa and crushed chocolate.
Pour half of the white dough into a greased pan, spread brown “balls” evenly over the entire area with a spoon, then cover with the remaining dough.
Bake in an oven preheated to 170-180 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
10 ideas on how to prepare manna in an original and unusual way:
- Divide the dough prepared according to your favorite recipe into two parts, add cocoa to one of them. Place two or three spoons of light dough in the center of the greased form, then strictly in the center - two or three spoons of cocoa dough. Again there is clearly a light dough in the middle, again chocolate. Alternate until you run out of dough. If necessary, you can shake the mold slightly so that the mass “disperses” better. Bake like a regular semolina, cut and enjoy: you will get a wonderful zebra-like cut.
- Don’t be greedy, add berries to the dough - raspberries, currants, blueberries will very well “revive” the usual taste of manna and give it wonderful summer notes.
- If you have time and desire, you can decorate the manna with a “cap” of icing – for example, chocolate: melt a bar of “black gold”, add a little cream, pour the resulting ganache over the cake. Magically!
- Nuts, candied fruits, and dried fruits go perfectly with a pleasant, but rather simple-tasting manna dough. Enrich it and you will get especially wonderful pastries for tea.
- Mannik is a pie at its core, but who is stopping you from turning it into a small homemade cake? Cut it in half and soak it in sour cream or simple apple jam - and the taste will be new.
- Divide the manna dough in half and color one part with food coloring or spinach, carrot, or blueberry juice. By pouring the dough into the mold one at a time, and then lightly mixing it with a toothpick, you can get a beautiful “marble” pattern after cooking.
- Semolina goes well with many spices, seasonings and herbs. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom to the dough, combining them and mixing. Over time, you will find your perfect bouquet - maybe your personal “zest” will be lemon zest or ground cloves, a pinch of chili pepper or dried mint.
- Mannikas can also be unsweetened - cheese, ham, mushroom. They can be cooked with meatballs or pieces of fish, with broccoli or corn, bacon and olives. The main thing is not to be afraid; any experiment can lead you to unexpected discoveries.
- Shaped baking pans for pies are your faithful assistant in preparing original manna cakes. Pie-heart, pie-flower, pie-bear and pie-anything - you won't get bored.
- And if you prepare manna in the form of portioned muffins, you will get not only a delicious pastry for tea, but also a beautiful and convenient one: you can take it with you on the road, give it to your child at school, or take it as a snack to work.
Making a simple homemade pie in a way that makes it feel special, incredible, and wonderful is a special art that can be mastered by anyone willing to learn. A little practice, a little experience, a couple of mistakes - and you will definitely have your own proven recipe for manna with kefir, which your friends will talk about, your household will dream about, and your girlfriends will gossip about.
Well, remember: as O. Huxley said, “to appreciate a pie, you need to try it, and not talk about recipes” - so grab a bowl and a whisk and get ready!
Is semolina healthy?
Recently it has become fashionable to argue that all generations of Soviet children who grew up on semolina porridge grew up incorrectly. Is it really an “empty” cereal that brings nothing good to those who love it? It is customary to grumble about its high calorie content, a huge amount of gluten, which is unloved by everyone, and “extra” phosphorus compounds.
However, there are also advantages. In addition to the invaluable benefits in the form of the special nutritional value of semolina, there are other points that are worth mentioning. Firstly, one cannot ignore the fact that this cereal cleanses the intestines quite well, “working” as an absorbent and sandpaper at the same time. Secondly, you should love it for its phytin - a substance that normalizes the functioning of the stomach and improves the digestion process. According to recent studies, phytin also prevents the appearance of cancer cells in the human body. Thirdly, the presence of vitamins and minerals is also important - even if there are not many of them compared to other cereals, they are there, and it is completely unfair to simply discount them for the sake of newfangled trends.

Step-by-step description with photos of manna with kefir, without oil.
1. Prepare food with photos.
Pour dry semolina into a bowl and fill it with sour cream, kefir or yogurt. Because I buy milk from my friend (3 liters each), sometimes we don’t drink all the bolon and then I put the rest for ripening. In the end, after a day I get yogurt, which I use when baking.
Leave the mixture for 20-30 minutes to swell.
2. Beat the ingredients.
Place the eggs in a separate bowl, add sugar and beat. I beat the mixture with a whisk until it forms a light foam. This dish does not require persistent foam, so a whisk is sufficient.
30 minutes passed, the semolina swelled. Now add the egg-sugar mixture to the semolina and mix.
Then add sifted flour to the mixture of semolina, eggs and sugar. I sift the flour directly into the dough through a small strainer - it’s convenient for me. Add flour in small portions and mix so that there are no lumps.
At the very end of kneading the dough, add soda. There is no need to extinguish the soda, because... The dough contains enough yogurt, which can easily extinguish the soda and make the manna fluffy. Mix the mixture with a spoon and place in the oven.
There is no need to hold the dough for a long time, because... the porosity of the product will decrease.
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and pour in the dough.
