Hello everyone!
This is the "The Meal of the Day" TV program.
We are the guests of a very nice Cuisine today. "Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine"!
We are going to cook cookies, maybe it is not a main dish, but everyone likes the cookies. You can cook those cookies for your guests also.
The editor of the mlrecipes.com "Banu Atabay" is the cook of this day.
She is very talented. She is a gourmet also.
That is time to talk to "Banu Atabay".
-Nice to see you!
-Nice to see you too! Welcome!
-Thank you so much for your compliments. Well, we can say that we are at the kitchen of "Mutevazi Lezzetler and mlrecipes.com".
- We are going to cook cookies today. "Propeller Cookies".
-Hmm, I like it very much!
- Yes, it is very delicious. I hope that our visitors will try and share this pleasure.
- Ok! So let’s see how to cook it! I also want to learn too much how to cook it.
- Yes, I do also since my childhood. I have almost cooked all of the cake and cookie recipes. Maybe, this is the reason of my websites and books.
- Come on, let’s cook it. I can’t wait.
The ingredients of "Propeller Cookies":
1/2 pack of margarine
1 egg
1 tbsp yogurt
1 cup castor sugar
1 pack vanilla
1 pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 + 1/2 tbsp cocoa
Flour, as much as the mixture gets in
It is stated as margarine to find easily, but I advise to use butter instead of margarine. It is healthier and more delicious.
We are placing the half pack of butter into the mixing bowl.
We are adding 1 tbsp yogurt on it.
We are breaking the egg over them.
-I am cleaning up the plates by the way.
Thanks.
We are mixing the liquid ingredients at first, not the dry ones.
We are mixing it just for a while by fingertips.
It sounds very ridiculous during the kneading.
-No matter, it is the sound of the savor Dear Banu.
After kneading the mixture for a while, now we are adding the castor sugar onto.
I especially advise castor sugar, because the granulated sugar does not dissolve very well in the mixture.
Maybe it discomforts you while eating.
-Hmm, I can also get the smell of the butter, I love it.
Actually being able to feel the smells is very important. Once upon a time I became ill and could not feel the smell of the meals. So, I noticed that it is very important, a gift from Creator to us, being able to feel the smells. It is such as a food or water or air.
Now we can start to adding flour into the mixture little by little.
Flour also makes the ingredients dissolve easily.
-Can I help you?
I will appreciate it.
-Ok! Is it ok?
Yes, good. A little bit more please.
-It is coming.
You know, we do not add the baking powder into the mixture directly. We mix it with some flour, and then add it into the main mixture.
-Hmm, we are mixing it with flour. It is a top tip. By the way, you can find too many tips at www.mutevazilezzetler.com
We also have other websites, mlrecipes.com in English and lezzetler.com in Turkish. We have more than 11000 recipes.
-11000! Bravo!
Yes, that is the second biggest website all over the world about cooking recipes.
-Hmm, vanilla smells very nice.
Oh I also added the vanilla. Thank you for making me remember it.
We added vanilla also into the mixture while adding the baking powder.
We want to get the dough reach to right consistency.
It must not stick to your hands during the kneading, but also it must not be too hard.
We are going to add flour into the mixture little by little, while kneading it.
Then, we will divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and add cocoa into one of the dough pieces.
-There is a different type of cookies also, called as "Mushroom Cookies". You know it definitely.
Yes, I know it. You can find its recipe in our "Cookies" book.
-But, my favorite is "Cookies with Coconut". I hope that you share it another day.
Yes definitely. Gladly!
Let me tell you something very interesting.
As I told you before we have more than 11000 recipes at our website. But do you which is the most popular?
"Flour Cookies"!!
-Is it hard to cook it well, to provide the right consistency?
Hmm, actually no, it is not. The knack is about the measurements. You should choose the right recipe.
We could cook it also today. But it sounds very easy.
If you would ask me to cook "flour cookies", I would wish to cook a different taste.
-You splashed it. You will have guests, ha?
At the beginnings I was saying the same thing. But, I think it is lack of talent.
-No, no, no!! How you can say something like that.
We are adding 1 + 1/2 tbsp cocoa into the half of the mixture.
-I am going to try it as soon as possible.
I’ m sure, you will like it.
-Well, can we add coconut into this mixture? Does it go with?
Yes, it can be. You know there is not any limit at cooking. It depends on your creativity.
Now we have rolled out this piece of the dough. It must not be so thin. This thickness is also called as "backside of the knife".
-A small problem here.
Yes
You can remove the whiteness by this way.
We are cutting circles by this way.
Now, we are cutting circles from the white dough piece also.
-Can I try it?
Of course, go on!
-Amusing! I want to make one more.
-Oh, it sticks. So, now I should give the job to the expert.
You’re welcome.
Ok, now I will show you an example.
We need 4 circles.
We are placing them by this way and we are forcing a little bit over them.
We are folding it. That is a tip. It must stay here during the folding.
And rolling…
We are squeezing it a little bit.
You should not flour the cookies too much, to make them stick now.
We are cutting it into 2 equal pieces.
-Oh my God! Did you see that? Now it seems as a propeller.
I am showing it again.
After placing the circles, we are forcing on them a little to keep them together.
We are folding and rolling again.
We are cutting it into 2 pieces and getting the propellers.
-Yes they seem as propellers really!
-Let’s bake them.
Ok!
-Ok, they are already baked. They are cooled down also. How did we bake them?
It is very important to place the cookies into preheated oven.
It must be preheated to 374 F or 392 F.
You should bake them less than 15 minutes.
We want to keep the white color.
They do not their shapes during the baking by this way.
-I want to taste it!
Of course, there you go!
-It is great! Bake it! Bon Appetite!
