Cheese cakes

Cheese cakes

Today I had a guest, she is my old friend. We haven't seen each other a long time because she studies in another city (and another country) - Omsk (Russia) and comes here very rarely. She likes cheese more than any other food and can eat it every time, she likes any dish if it contains cheese. So, I decided to rejoice her and cook some dishes with cheese. At first, I'll tell you about cheese cakes…

Ingredients for dough:
250 g flour
150 g butter
180 g grated hard cheese

½ tsp. baking soda
100 ml cream

½ tsp. salt
yolks from two eggs

For decoration: poppy-seeds, sesame, caraway-seeds

Step 1: combine butter, grated hard cheese, add cream and salt, than mix it with bolted flour and baking soda. Make dough.


Step 2: now divide made dough into 3 parts, every of each one wrap in a foil and place into refrigerator for 2 hours.
Step 3: Over 2 hours take out one part from refrigerator, roll it out as a layer (thickness 6mm) and smear it with whipped yolks.


Step 4: Sprinkle this dough layer with poppy-seeds and cut out by means of forms of different shapes like circles, hearts, stars and so on.


Step 5: Take out second part from refrigerator and do the same as first; smear this layer with sesame. Third part of cakes decorate with caraway-seeds;
Step 6: Lay out cakes on baking tray. Bake it during 10-15 minutes in temperature 220-230oC.


I advise you to try it!

Wait next recipe tomorrow…

hi,
I know that Italian or American cheesecakes have another view. Of
course, i didn't mean that my biscuits are the same as cheesecakes.
May be i made a mistake in a word "cakes" - they are like biscuits.
Thank you very much for your message and for great link! ;-)
