Larrors from the dough: when to cook, how to cook, anyone to treat.
Content
Slavic culture is unique and its roots go far into the abyss of centuries. Despite the imposed Christianity in ancient Russia, people managed to transfer their customs and pagan holidays to a new Christian culture.
Thus, creating a new round in Christian culture and customs. Even instead of classical cottage cheese Easter, the Slavs continue to bake pagan cakes and sanctify them along with Easter.
Another pagan rite, preserved from the ancient festivities - delicious apple fringers from a butt dough, which are traditionally baked in the spring, when the earth comes to life again, covered with a green carpet, and birds fly from warm countries.
When are they baked larks from the dough?
- Traditionally, the larks are baked on the day of spring. In Russia there was no single date of such a holiday, since the country extended to a third of the mainland and each region in the spring came at different times
- With the advent of Christianity (which did not suffer unauthorized, and sought to unite the holidays in all its territories), it was decided to celebrate the arrival of spring on the "Magpie of Martyrs" on March 9 according to the church calendar
- Today is this date on March 22, but despite this, larks are baked in many villages and go out with them to celebrate the arrivals of birds and cursing the first leaves on trees and bushes
How to blind a lark from the dough?
There are many variations of both the preparation of the dough and the technology of modeling spring butter birds.
Option 1
We cut off a small piece of a butter dough, from it we make the medium -long “sausage” and tie it into a knot. One tip will be the head, the other will be a tail.
We pull the head as in the photo and form the beak. We flatter the tail and make several incisions of the "feathers".
The highlight of the mode for 4 parts and 2 pieces insert the bird into the head of the eye into the head of the eye.
Let us come and bake.
Option 2
Again, we cut off a piece of dough and form a “sausage”. But this time we do not knit the nodes, but we flatten one side, and with the second we stretch the “beak”.
We make one deep cut and several small “feathers” on the tail. We bend the lower “wing” up as in the photo and insert the “eye” from raisins.
Let us come and put in the oven. 5 minutes before cooking, lubricate with yellow or oil so that the lark is browned.
Option 3
We form a “sausage” again, but this time we make a loop as in the photo.
We form a head and a beak from the loop. We insert raisins. We cut the tips, as in previous cases into “feathers”. Bake.
Option 4
Now we form two “sausages” and the bed is crossed as in the photo.
The upper "sausage" is flattened at the edges, and wings are formed. The lower "sausage" on the one hand is flattened into the tail, the second side - the head is formed. We pull out a little and create a key. We insert the eyes.
Cut the wings and tail, creating feathers. Bake.
Preparation of birds is a fascinating lesson, be sure to call the children on it. Having prepared birds, everyone needs to eat in the house, treat animals, as well as give spring messengers to neighbors, friends, and just passers -by!
