But, of course, a special place in the Easter schedule is the preparation of Easter cakes and cottage cheese .

We bake cakes, but we make Easter from the curd mass, without heat treatment. Therefore, the question of how to bake Easter, sounds to most, at least, strange. Although many claim that they know how to cook Easter in the oven, that is, bake cottage cheese. By and large, such Easter pastries can not be considered, but this culinary creation does not attract the title of cake either, so they call it Easter, from cottage cheese.

Forms for Easter baking
Forms for Easter and baking cakes are not at all, and many happy owners of this kitchen utensils, they say that they got the forms from their mothers and grandmothers, by inheritance. And what if there is no such inheritance left, and there is nowhere to buy forms, to refuse Easter baking and curd Easter? In fact, it is not necessary to do this at all, there are no purchase forms, and, well, do not you have something to replace in your household?
How to replace the form for the cake?
The easiest way is to make a cake shape from dense oiled paper, and put a circle of corrugated cardboard on the bottom. And to make the ready-made cake not damp, make a thin needle punctures in the sides and bottom of the form.
Not bad cakes are baked in ordinary metal mugs and pots. Only here the form needs to be prepared - otherwise the cake from it can be taken out only in parts. Therefore, the inside of the mold is greased with vegetable oil, a circle of oiled paper is placed on the bottom, and flour is powdered on the sides.
If there were no mugs at hand, then you can make a form with your own hand made of foil. Fold the foil in half, turn around the dishes of the right size (cans, glasses, vases). The edges of the foil are pressed against each other and turn several times inside, forming a seam. To be faithful, you can stitch the seam after stapling. Then turn the vessel and overlap the foil to form a flat bottom. After the foil is removed from the can, level the bottom and walls and spread out baking paper.
How to replace the form for Easter?
Cottage cheese is not so whimsical as dough, so with easter forms it's easier. No, of course, if you have at hand a master of crazy hands, you can puzzle him by creating a form for Easter. Let him do everything as it should, a prefabricated form of wooden plates, with symbols carved on each side. But if such a national craftsman is not at your disposal, do not get upset. As a form for Easter, any cylindrical (better, of course, in the form of a truncated cone) dish, in which you will not regret making holes for the flow of whey, is suitable. And if you have the right size, slightly stretched up, a metal strainer, then you do not have to do anything, Easter can be formed in it.
