How to make batter for color. Step by step recipe with photos and videos

Cauliflower cooked in batter deserves special attention. This dish can act as a side dish or become a snack. It can be made very nutritious or, conversely, diet. Frankly, we recently discovered such a snack for ourselves. And they were pleasantly struck by the taste. Since then, we buy a couple of forks of cauliflower and prepare several favorite dishes from it.

So, today we’ll talk about the types of batter that can be prepared to make the crust crispy. I will plant how to bake inflorescences in the oven and how to fry them in a pan. You can choose a recipe for yourself by choosing it from those that I selected below. They are the most common and are obtained even from not very experienced housewives.

The very first step in preparing cauliflower in batter is to boil or blanch the twigs in salted water for 5-7 minutes. This time is important to consider, if you digest the inflorescences, they will not keep their shape, but will turn into porridge.

For boiling, a saline solution is taken: 10 g of salt is put per 1 liter of water. Further in the recipes I will mention this in passing, so I draw your attention to this proportion now!

So, let's start with the most useful and low-calorie recipe. Here we will not use fat at all, but this will not prevent us from getting a delicious and crispy batter from batter.


Composition:

  • 1 head of cauliflower,
  • egg - 2 pcs.,
  • breadcrumbs - 120 g,
  • cheese - 120 g
  • 1 tsp sweet ground paprika
  • salt,
  • dried garlic.

Sometimes the forks are boiled whole, just lowering it in boiling water for 7 minutes. However, I prefer it when it is divided into inflorescences.


Then boil in salt water 5 minutes after boiling. We strictly monitor the time so as not to get mashed cabbage for baby food. Over this period of time, the branches will become softer, reach half-preparedness and will be able to keep their shape. And they will be cooked in the oven with further baking.


I also advise cutting inflorescences into medium branches. So they cook faster, and the dough is evenly distributed over the surface.

So, 5 minutes have passed, the cabbage is ready. Let's get her a slotted spoon out of boiling water. I do not cook anything from the broth, so I pour it into the sink. We leave the inflorescences to cool, and we ourselves will begin to prepare the batter and the baking sheet.

Pour breadcrumbs into a separate deep bowl. We are used to buying them in refrigerators, but you can use crumbs from homemade crackers. It’s easier for me to buy them.

For flavor, add dried garlic to the crumbs. Also buy seasoning in the store.

Take hard cheese. For cooking, I buy pieces of stocks, most often comes across cheese "Russian". But this is purely for economic purposes, but in general any kind of hard cheese is suitable for batter.

Rub a piece on the fine side of the grater and add to the breadcrumbs. Stir so that it is evenly distributed over the cup.

Drive eggs into a separate bowl and salt them.

Now we get the pan. I chose large and flat without non-stick coating. Therefore, I will use baking paper.

We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it with a couple of drops of vegetable oil. This is the only oil used in the recipe, but without this step, you just can not tear off the inflorescences from the paper.

Behind these chores, the cabbage has cooled down and got rid of excess moisture. Now, each twig and dip in the egg first, and then roll in breadcrumbs.


And put the treat on a baking sheet.


We turn on the oven at 200 degrees Celsius and detect it for 20 minutes. Five minutes later, put our baking sheet inside and bake the inflorescences for the remaining 15 minutes.

Serve with different sauces.

Step-by-step recipe for cooking cabbage in batter with cheese in a pan

But perhaps the most common cooking option is frying twigs in a pan. Cook batter with cheese. When roasted, it forms a fragrant golden crust.


Composition for 1 large forks of cauliflower:

  • 1.5 tbsp flour (maybe more)
  • 4 chicken eggs
  • 120 g cheese
  • cooking oil.

Flour may take longer than indicated in the recipe. It depends on the size of the eggs that you will use. For example, village eggs are usually larger than store eggs, respectively, require more flour.

The first step is to divide the cabbage into inflorescences. This is done quickly. With a sharp knife, begin to separate the upper branches from the stump, gradually moving towards the middle.

Now we cook twigs in salted water for 5-7 minutes. The amount of salt I indicated at the beginning of the article.

Then we drain this water and put the inflorescences on a sieve, so that water comes from them. You can also rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process and rinse off the salt.

We drive the eggs into the bowl, rub the cheese on a coarse grater. Add salt and spices to them. And mix well this mass.

We take twigs, sprinkle them with flour in a deep salad bowl. We need them to be completely in flour.

We take a frying pan, drip a little sunflower oil on it and heat it. If you have cookware with a non-stick coating, just grease the bottom a little. This is necessary so that the crust acquires a beautiful golden color.

Dip flour inflorescences in batter and send to fry.


First we leave strong heating, as soon as the surface has become golden, we immediately reduce the heating to medium.


Fry the twigs evenly on both sides. By the way, it’s very convenient to turn them over with a fork.

Delicious Cauliflower Fried in Breadcrumbs

Quite often, the cabbage is deep-fried. It is made from crackers or flour. We talked about flour above, now let's look at a recipe with bread crumbs.


Take the forks of cabbage:

  • eggs - 3 pcs.,
  • salt,
  • bag of breadcrumbs,
  • 2 tbsp water,
  • butter and vegetable oil for frying.

We clear the head of cabbage from unnecessary leaves, cut it into pieces and boil it in brine. As always, we detect after boiling for 5-6 minutes.

Beat the egg, add salt and add a couple of tablespoons of water.

First, the cooled inflorescences are rolled in the egg, then breaded in breadcrumbs.


Put a small piece of butter in a frying pan and pour 1 tsp. lean. Mix them and wait for the oil to heat.

Spread the branches on it and fry until crispy.


If there is little oil, then it needs to be added, otherwise subsequent inflorescences will be without a crispy shell.

The best recipe for batter on mayonnaise

Still caught my eye recipe for batter on mayonnaise. It also turns out delicious, by the way.


For 0.4m kg of cauliflower you need:

  • mayonnaise - 150 g
  • egg - 1 pc.,
  • flour - 6 tsp,
  • salt pepper.

Boil inflorescences in boiling salted water until half ready. About 4-5 minutes.

We drive an egg, flour into a separate cup and squeeze mayonnaise.


With a whisk we connect products to a homogeneous consistency.

Pour a little oil into a non-stick pan. Dip the inflorescence in mayonnaise mass and fry on low heat until a beautiful crust.

How to quickly and tasty make a batter of beer

Beer is great for cooking. Remember which ones make it delicious? So when added to batter, it also contributes to the formation of the beautiful crust we need.


Take:

  • medium forks of cabbage,
  • ¾ cup flour
  • beer - 0.5 tea cups,
  • 1 egg
  • salt.

We divide the forks into large branches.

Boil them in salted water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes. It is important not to overdo it, so as not to get porridge.
Discard the finished cabbage on a sieve so that the broth drains.

In a separate bowl we make a batter: beat the egg, flour and beer with a whisk. We add a little so that it is not fresh.

You can take any beer: light or dark. This will not affect the quality of the batter.

Pour oil into the pan. Scroll the twigs in beer dough and fry in oil until crisp.

We put the ready cabbage on a paper towel, it will absorb excess oil.

Cauliflower with crispy batter in batter with semolina

Once I was cooking charlotte with a pear and did not see how much flour was left. It turns out that it was not enough and I decided to supplement the dough with semolina. The cake went well and now I often dilute, or even completely replace the flour with semolina. Moreover, the cereal well absorbs moisture that cabbage has preserved, which means that the batter will turn out to be more crispy. What we always try to achieve.


Composition per 0.5 kg of cauliflower:

  • a glass of semolina
  • 1 egg
  • salt,
  • pepper,
  • vegetable or butter for frying.

We divide the forks into twigs. Pour water into a small pan, add 0.5 tbsp. salt. Boil and spread the cut branches. Cook for 6 minutes.

We merge the broth and cool the inflorescences.

Now let's get to the batter.

Drive an egg into a deep bowl. Dip a twig into it and lower it into semolina.

In a pan, dilute the oil. At least sunflower, at least creamy and saute the cabbage until golden brown.

All recipes are prepared very quickly. Which is very pleasing to busy housewives.

To taste the inflorescences in batter are somewhat reminiscent of nuggets. This is for my taste. But it seems to my mother that they are more like mushrooms. It is simply amazing how different people perceive the same dish. But definitely everyone needs to try to cook it.

Thank you for your attention and time spent with me.

Cauliflower, in my opinion, is the most interesting vegetable that can be grown in your garden. Or buy it at any major grocery supermarket. Elastic, dense, divided into separate inflorescences resembling miniature "mushrooms", it immediately attracts attention.

  Deep-fried cabbage inflorescences - video

In a cozy home environment, select a recipe, prepare it and you will have your opinion about this article. Good luck

Ah, this "many-faced" cabbage! By area cultivation in our country, it takes the second place among vegetables. Overtakes her only potatoes. There are six main types of cabbage, but the most common are cabbage and cauliflower. In terms of taste and nutritional properties, of course, the leader is color.

Cauliflower gently creamy color surprises many with its name. What color is it if it has a solid cream shade? But the thing is that it consists of inflorescences, which we eat. Cauliflower must be cut before blooming, otherwise the vegetable coarsens and loses its unique taste.

The variety of cauliflower dishes is impressive. From it you can cook soups, salads, cook pies, bake in the oven, fry - a lot of options. Mistresses even adapted to fry her in batter. Not difficult at all, and the result is stunning! However, let's take it in order.

Cauliflower in batter - general principles and methods of preparation

Surely, many of us know what batter is and what it consists of. Traditionally, these are eggs, salt, flour or bread crumbs. And although some are not limited to such a poor list of ingredients, the general principles for preparing cauliflower remain unchanged and are based on three main stages:

- boiling inflorescences;
  - cooking batter;
  - enveloping and frying slices of cabbage in vegetable oil.

An equally important step is to properly prepare the inflorescences for heat treatment and not digest them. Cauliflower can be purchased at any time, regardless of the month on the calendar, in the fresh in the summer, and in the frozen in the winter and prepare an amazing dish that all family members will love.

Cauliflower in batter - product preparation

Before cooking, cabbage should be disassembled into individual inflorescences, each should be cleaned of dark spots and rinsed in warm water, cut too thick shoots in half. And then boil in boiling salted water. In order for the vegetable to retain a rich taste and aroma, it is recommended to boil it in a small amount of liquid for ten to fifteen minutes (it all depends on the size of the slices: large - boil a little longer in time). We check readiness with a fork. If the teeth enter the pulp easily enough, then the cabbage is ready. Immediately remove it from the fire.

For the preparation of batter, we will definitely need fresh chicken eggs and fine flour. At will, the batter can be "ennobled" with mayonnaise, sour cream, herbs, spices and even beer. However, each mistress has her own secrets of cooking “clothes” for slices of cabbage.

Cauliflower in batter - the best recipes

2. Boil water, salt it and lower the inflorescences in boiling water. Cook until tender (but do not boil in any case) for about twelve minutes. Alternatively, cauliflower can be steamed.

3. While the cabbage is boiling, prepare the batter. To do this, beat the required number of eggs with salt and herbs to a small foam and gradually pour three tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly. We must get a batter thick.

4. Throw the finished inflorescences into a colander and wait until they dry out and cool slightly. After that, abundantly roll each piece in batter and fry in hot oil on all sides until a delicious, brownish crust forms. Spread the hot pieces on a flat plate, sprinkle with grated cheese on top and proceed to use.

Recipe 2: Deep fried cauliflower

To prepare such a cabbage, we need highly carbonated mineral water. Instead of a deep fat fryer (if there is none), it is quite possible to use a deep thick-walled pan or pan. Let's get started?

Ingredients:

- one cabbage (fresh or thawed)
  - vegetable oil (for deep fat)
  - one teaspoon of granulated sugar
  - allspice
  - salt to taste
  - two chicken eggs

4. Pour a generous dose of vegetable oil into a deep pan (saucepan) and heat it. Then we pry each inflorescence with a fork, dab it abundantly in batter and immediately send it to the pan. Pieces at least two-thirds should be immersed in oil. Fry, turning, until a beautiful golden crust.

We serve cabbage as an independent appetizer with garlic, tomato or mushroom sauce or as a hot side dish.

Recipe 3: Cauliflower in Cheese and Beer Batter

Have you ever tried cheese and beer batter? If not, then it is time to cook and try. It is prepared easily, but it turns out to be very juicy, crispy and tasty. Inside we hide the cabbage inflorescences, which, to taste in combination with cheese and beer batter, will resemble mushrooms. Beer, of course, is better to use non-alcoholic. In extreme cases - low alcohol. By the way, in such a batter, you can cook not only cauliflower, but also sausage, crab sticks, fish, meat, seafood, as well as some vegetables.

Ingredients:

- 600 gr. cauliflower
  - two eggs
  - 4-5 tablespoons (tablespoons) of flour with a small slide
  - 60 gr. hard cheese
  - 100 ml of beer
  - two tablespoons of vegetable oil
  - seasoning to taste, salt

Cooking method:

1. We split the cabbage into inflorescences, boil it in salted water, in the microwave (for max. 4-5 minutes without water) or steamed. Three cheese on a fine grater.

2. Mix the eggs with two tablespoons of butter, beat and pour the beer into the mass. Mix everything, salt, season with spices. Then pour in the flour and knead until a thick batter is formed. Add cheese to the contents. Mix everything again, gently breaking the lumps.

3. Pour a large amount of oil into a deep frying pan, carefully heat it, dip the cabbage slices in batter and immediately send to the pan. Fry to a beautiful crust and serve hot. Bon appetit to all!

- In order for cabbage inflorescences to retain their natural color and not become watery during the cooking process, add a small amount of sugar to boiling water (before laying the vegetable). In addition, cauliflower is best boiled in mineral water;

- Put the fried cauliflower on a flat plate, covered with a thick paper towel, which will “pull out” all the excess fat from the pieces;

- Those who follow a diet can occasionally treat themselves to such a dish. However, when preparing cauliflower in batter, it is recommended to follow a number of simple rules: firstly, the batter is made on some proteins (without adding yolks), and secondly, soaked inflorescences are best baked in a preheated oven (in the grill mode for about 15 minutes at 230 C) or microwave with minimal use of fat.


The batter prepared according to this recipe turns out to be thick, but at the same time airy, like a cloud. Such a batter absorbs a minimum of oil, quickly seizes in a pan and envelops the cabbage in such a dense layer that at first glance the inflorescences resemble pies or pancakes. Cabbage inflorescences remain soft and tender, and the batter enveloping them turns out to be slightly crispy on the outside and very light and porous inside. The combination of tastes is very appetizing! Give it a try!

To prepare cauliflower in batter, prepare the ingredients on the list.

Let's start by making a batter, because it takes time to cool. Separate the egg yolks from the proteins. Cover the protein container and place it in the refrigerator for a while.

Combine the yolks with water (plain or unsalted mineral / soda). Add vegetable oil and spices to taste. I add salt, dried garlic, paprika, thyme and a mixture of Italian herbs. If desired, you can also add 1-2 tbsp. wine or other strong alcohol - the batter will turn out a little more crispy.

Beat the mixture until smooth and gradually, add the flour in small portions until the batter thickens. To make sure that the batter has turned out to be of the correct density - put a little batter in a spoon and pour it back into the bowl from a small height. If batter completely drains from a spoon in 5 seconds - he is ready.

Cover the batter bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. During cooling, the batter thickens even more.

While the batter is cooling, prepare the cabbage. Prepare a slightly salted saline solution - by mixing 1 liter of water and 1 tablespoon. salt. Put the cabbage in water and leave for 5-7 minutes.

Then rinse the cabbage with running water and divide into small inflorescences.

Before frying in batter, cabbage should be slightly boiled. Measure out 1 liter of water and add about 100-150 ml of milk, as well as 1 bay leaf and 1-2 pinchs of salt.

Such a mixture will save the cabbage from the natural, but not very pleasant smell that appears during cooking, and preserve its delicate milky color.

Bring the mixture to a boil and boil the cabbage in small batches. Put the cabbage in boiling water, wait until the water boils again, and note for 3 minutes.

Remove the cabbage from boiling water and immediately place in cold water in order to stop the cooking process.

Leave the cabbage in cold water for about 1 minute. Once the inflorescences have cooled, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and dry.

Lay the inflorescences on the working surface in one layer, sprinkle lightly with flour - so the batter will even better stick to the pieces.

Beat the whites in a lush foam and in small portions, gently stirring from the bottom up, stir in the chilled batter.

Add vegetable oil in a pan in such a quantity that it covers the bottom with a layer of about 1 centimeter or even a little more, and heat well.

Dip the cauliflower inflorescences in batter and put in hot oil.

Fry the inflorescences for 2 minutes on one side, and then turn over and fry for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

Place the fried slices on a paper towel for a few seconds. And then immediately serve to the table.

Cauliflower in batter is ready! Good appetite!
