Category: Confectionery

Ingredients
Flour	2.5 tbsp.
Butter	180 g
Sour cream 20%	2 tbsp. l. slightly riding
Granulated sugar (brown)	160-170 g (3/4 st.)
Large chicken egg	1 PC.
Salt	1/3 tsp
Baking powder	1 tsp
Cinnamon, lemon or orange peel	taste
Grated almond	(2 tbsp. L. Replace 2 tbsp. L. Flour)
Vanilla sugar	1 tsp
Measuring cup 250 ml

Cooking method

My earliest childhood memories are connected with these "Worms". Our family always cooked a lot and varied, people constantly visited the house, my brother's friends, my girlfriends came, and closer to the weekend my grandmother started baking such cookies from the leftover butter and sour cream, so that you could always serve homemade cookies for tea.
There was no exact recipe, so the taste of the cookies varied slightly - it turned out to be more crumbly, then crunchy, sweet and not so! Supplements also varied depending on the availability of foods, from cinnamon to nuts. My mother still often bakes these "Worms", although her age no longer allows her to make cakes with 18 layers and all sorts of complex dishes.
I have made several attempts to find my "today's" taste of this cookie, the shape and method of preparation of which is familiar to many. So I decided to put my own version.
There is a small nuance in this recipe. We love having lightly undissolved sugar in the finished cookies. It crunches so pleasantly unobtrusively when eaten! To do this, sugar is introduced into a ready-made mixture of flour and butter, and the dough is practically not kneaded.
Try it, suddenly this recipe will suit you.
Preparation
- Mix flour with vanilla powder and chop with ice butter, diced into small pieces, by hand or in a food processor. (If you want to add grated nuts, replace some of the flour with them. I add 1-2 tablespoons for flavor.)
- Mix the egg with sour cream and salt.
- Add baking powder, zest to the flour and butter mixture, then mix quickly and thoroughly. (I think baking powder can be mixed with flour right away.)
- Add granulated sugar to the dry mixture and mix well.
- Pour sour cream mixed with an egg into the dry mixture and quickly form a not very uniform lump of dough. No need to knead until smooth, just collect in a lump, slightly mixing.
- Put the dough in a plastic bag, arrange it inside the bag in the form of a ball or thick cake and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- After half an hour, using a meat grinder, make cookies. Squeeze out a little dough with a meat grinder and cut it off or remove it with your hand closer to the wire rack, trying not to crush the edge of the worms.
Put on a baking sheet, put in a preheated oven and bake at 170-180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Watch the bottom, it burns quickly, I put the second baking sheet.
Cookies are sweet, crumbly and crunchy if left in a bag after cooling.
If you cannot collect the dough in a lump, then you can sprinkle it with cold water.
Enjoy your tea!

Note

Part of the flour, literally 2 tbsp. l., can be replaced with grated almonds or spelled flour. While I was typing, I came up with the idea to replace part of the flour with one spoonful of cornstarch, but I don't know yet if the dough will gather in a ball. I'll try.
And here is the embodiment of the idea.

Cookies "Worms" with whole grain flour and walnuts (through a meat grinder) (Rada-dms)

Elena Kadiewa

Oh, I also often cooked cookies like this when the children were small, the recipe only needs to be looked at in an ancient notebook, it seems to be different.
Olenka, thank you for the wonderful cookies for your morning tea!

Rada-dms

elena kadiewa, Helen, glad to please!
If it's not difficult, when there is time and desire, find a recipe from a book, I want to compare. : girl_red: I suspect that mine also had it, but then they switched to the oven "by eye" and the recipe was lost.

Elena Kadiewa

Well, what can't you do for your beloved child!

Beat 2 eggs with 3/4 cup. sugar + vanillin, poppy seeds, 1 cup. kefir or 1 can of mayonnaise, 1 pack of margarine, 2-3 glasses. flour, 0.5 tsp. l. soda.

Elena Tim

What a beauty!
My mom used to do them a lot before, skusnaaaaa!
Olchik, thanks for reminding me. Maybe I'll repeat it somehow. I myself have never baked such.

Bridge

Olya, yes! I also baked such a cookie as a child. Well, it's not straightforward ... I don't remember the recipe now. I remember that the process of passing through a meat grinder fascinated me.

Irina-kil was looking for this! It is with mayonnaise!

Florichka

And I made Anthill cake from such cookies. Cookies through a meat grinder, then break into large crumbs or small pieces, or rather, mix with cream made from condensed milk with butter. Place on a plate with a slide and sprinkle the "anthill" with grated chocolate. I always baked this cake for my son's DR. And it is with such a cream that in the internet it is usually offered with boiled condensed milk.

ir

And can you make an ANT from this dough? How did the grinder do it? Did you like it? ..

Florichka

Of course, you can from Olya's recipe and from what Lena remembered.

flete

And we did this with oatmeal - it was very tasty) It must be done, thanks for such a warm reminder of childhood)

Trishka

Oh, and my friend and I, in deep childhood, made an anthill from similar cookies!
Thank you, Olga, for a delicious and homemade warm recipe!

Shyrshunchik

I added pictures, today is January 14, baked according to this recipe. Only the truth played a little naughty with green matcha tea, carob and added 5 teaspoons of sunflower halva for the taste. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!

This is exactly the recipe my mother-in-law shared with me 40 years ago. And I used it for a long, long time. And then ... I forgot.
OlgaThank you so much for sharing your version of the cookie. Thanks to you, I will now restore lost skills, remember forgotten taste and try new things.
P.S. The mother-in-law's version was called "Crow's Feet".

Albina

Rada-dms, Olga, in childhood and adolescence also baked like a cookie. I also bought a Tupper meat grinder.

Seven-year plan

Rada-dms, Bookmarked! Thanks a lot for the recipe! I used to make such cookies with my friends, but only recently I remembered about it.

Anatolyevna

Rada-dms, Olya is such a familiar cookie, she also baked before. Then they somehow forgot.
How good that she reminded me!

Babushka

Olga, thanks for such a nostalgic recipe! I think to the older generation, he recalled many happy moments. It seems to me that every family once baked it. Thank you!

Anyura

Rada-dms, great recipe! in our family, they make an anthill cake, grind cookies, then they break them, but so that the "worms" are visible and they collect condensed milk cream + butter into the ant house
thank you for reminding me, you haven't done something for a long time

Natusya

Thank you for reminding! In the evening I'll look at my notes, somewhere I also have worms

Matron

and we in childhood called these cookies "asters" should be baked.

N @ dezhd @

This recipe is sure to bookmark! I also have an analogue of this recipe written down somewhere to be compared. Hurry up the weekend ...we will bake cookies

arranger

In our family, they cooked like this:

BISCUITS "MAYONNAISE"
Margarine - 1 pack; sand - 1 glass; egg - 1 pc.; mayonnaise - 350 g; flour - 4 cups; soda - 1/2 teaspoon; citric acid - 1/4 teaspoon; vanilla sugar (to taste)

Wipe one glass of sand with 1 egg, add a pack of creamy margarine, mix, pour in a jar of mayonnaise, add 4 glasses of flour (gradually), soda, citric acid, vanilla sugar. Pass the dough through a meat grinder and put on a baking sheet with your hands. Bake until pink and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

If someone comes in handy - I will be glad!

Irina F

Yes, Olga, this is really a recipe from childhood !!!
How all the girls immediately revived their memories !!!
And I, too, came to you with my memories - and they really made such cookies from a meat grinder, and they also made an anthill)
And once again I was confirmed in my desire to buy a manual meat grinder!
Thank you, dear, for the cookies and childhood memories!
And your mommy for your health and long life !!!!!

eye

Ol, och cozy recipe, took it.
I also liked the molding: not long pasta lumpy, as it usually happens, well, I came across in life, but short perpendicular bristles, yes, really, like asters.

Quote: Irina F

And once again I was confirmed in my desire to buy a manual meat grinder!

in my opinion, with the help of any meat grinder, if desired, you can get such a molding.
with electro it is even more convenient: both hands are free.

Irina F

eye, Tanyusha, I agree that with anyone) I just scroll raw meat on the electric one and I have a fad.
Therefore, I will buy manual ones - I will make cookies and twist boiled meat for pancake pies)

Natasha! Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad the recipe didn't disappoint!
Today I made cookies based on this recipe with whole grain flour, starch and walnuts - a hundred times tastier, crumbly and aromatic! (y) I advise you to try it.
Reluctant to exhibit, but I took a picture already, I will exhibit. And yet, I threw the nuts directly into the meat grinder when scrolling, it turned out so cool, better than rubbing them, chopping them!

And can you make an ANT from this dough? How did the grinder do it? Did you like it? ..

I liked it, I will use it often! Today I did it in a new way for the second time, it turned out even tastier. She never did in the console for Kenwood, but here there is a Malipuska on the table and she herself asks, they say, scroll through the cookies, scroll!

julia007

Rada-dms,

We are copying the names - there are already "Asters", "Worms", "Hedgehogs", "Chrysanthemums"

All notebooks, from mothers and grandmothers, have their first records of recipes from childhood! Thank you for your interest in Temka, for sharing our impressions here together, versions of these "worms" and, in general, for everything! Happy Old New Year !!

Lerele

And I have a smell, stunned !!!

Rada-dms

Lerele, oh, how cool !! So you also have a similar meat grinder!
Listen, I changed the recipe, so do it, you won't regret it, I'll put it out now!

Rada-dms

Shyrshunchik, Tanyusha, thanks for the recipe from the book, I will try too!

Lerele

Rada-dms, so I wrote somewhere that the neighbor gave me, she doesn't need it, but how I get mine, I’ll also give it back, I don’t feel like it.

some kind of pindyulka, although it twists, but it's uncomfortable for me, the shoulder at the handle is small, you can't turn around in a big way, we, heroes, are beyond our shoulder

Now I'll try that too! THANK YOU!

Shyrshunchik

Rada-dms, try it, I twisted it with different sticks from the meat grinder, if I find spare parts from the meat grinder I will bake and take a picture

flete

Found a recipe) Yes, with oatmeal.
Baby cookies with oatmeal
3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 tsp baking soda, 1 egg to white, then add 2 tablespoons of milk or sour cream, 1 tablespoon of honey and 100 g of soft butter, chopped zest (it is not written which, apparently, lemon), 2 , 5 tbsp flour and 0.5 tbsp oatmeal.
Knead a rather steep dough and mince. Bake in a hot oven.
And we did not do it with astrochki, but divided the scrolled dough in half lengthwise, about 6-7 cm. Such long sausages turned out.
And the oatmeal gave an interesting taste.
Olga, thank you very much for this reminder!)

Rada-dms

flete, Oksanochka, started checking her recipes and found your post! Thank you very much, I will definitely try to bake cookies according to your recipe, for me this is important! Thanks for the hassle and a wonderful recipe!
