Trnovečki makači
Our friends and godparents live in Trnovac Bartolovečki near Varaždin. The traditional cake of their region is these poppy seed strudels, which they call makači. The godmother's mother baked them and served them on her granddaughter's birthday in the hills with barbecue and wine. A more perfect and tastier cake for me, I have hardly found it lately. Of course, the recipe is given in the original and is not at all dietary. When you eat two pieces of these macaques, you can dig in the mine or in the hills all day later.
Preparation steps
- From the flour, oil, salt and lukewarm water, knead a soft dough with water.
- Leave well oiled to stand for about half an hour.
- Roll out the dough as thin as possible, as for pies or bureks, remove the thicker edges, and spread the dough with the filling and roll it out.
- Prepare the filling by boiling poppy seeds in boiling milk, adding sugar, butter and vanilla sugar, removing from the heat and cooling.
- Add the egg yolk and half the amount of cream to the cooled mixture, beat the egg whites into a solid batter and finally mix lightly into the mixture.
- Cut the roll cake to the size of a baking sheet, place it in a greased pan and pour over the rest of the cream.
- Bake at 180 ° C for about half an hour.
- Sprinkle hot baked macaques with powdered sugar and serve hot, or as you like.
Serving
They go especially well with white wine or barbecue. The amount of sugar and butter is optional. Be guided by your feelings. The latest for me is to put about 30 dag of sugar in sugar and about 12 dag of butter.
