Snails are a delicious puff pastry that goes with many other dishes. Snails come in many varieties – sweet, spinach, meat, cheese and others. However, one of the tastiest snails is considered to be the classic
snail
without any fillings.
Snails began to be cooked in the XIX century
.
There must have been this recipe before, but the peak of snails was two centuries ago,
because wheat flour became cheaper then
.
Every cook considered it his duty to experiment with dough. Therefore, now we have many different types of buns, snails and cookies.
Let’s tell you how to cook a classic muffin snail.
Ingredients for muffin snail:
- warm water – 200 ml;
- salt – tsp;
- vinegar – tbsp;
- flour – 350 g.
Preparation of muffin snail:
Pour salt into warm water, pour in vinegar and sift flour, knead elastic and soft dough. Leave the dough for 15 minutes under a towel
. Place the dough on the table and divide into two equal parts. Sprinkle the table with flour and shape the dough into balls. Roll out each roll into a large thin cake and brush with melted butter.
Divide the dough into thin strips, fold the strips together lengthwise
.
The resulting thick bundle is folded into a snail.
We repeat the same actions with the second layer of dough
. Slightly knead each snail and put it in a dry
frying
pan.
On medium heat fry the snails on both sides until golden brown.
These are simple snails.
