The other day I tried to bake it, and it turned out to be a sweet, tender, fluffy pie - naturally a sponge cake without a single egg. Sound tempting? Still would… 
For manna without eggs we will need:
- 1.5 cups kefir;
- 1.5 cups semolina;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 1 cup flour;
- 100g butter;
- 0.5 tsp soda;
- a pinch of salt;
- vanillin, cinnamon, nutmeg - optional.
First, melt the butter and mix it with semolina, sugar, salt and kefir.
We forget about this dough preparation for about 40 minutes so that the semolina has enough time to swell well. 
After the allotted minutes have passed, add flour, soda and spices to the manna dough. Mix everything again. 
Place the resulting dough into the mold.
I baked in silicone form, but it’s better not to do that. This eggless manna not only tastes like a sponge cake, it is also as capricious as it is - in its soft silicone form it can easily fall apart.
So ideal option the Teflon or glass pan will be wider than deep (if it’s too deep, the middle may not bake). 
All that remains is to put the future manna in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 180 °C and wait for it to brown. 
We take the fragrant, delicious pie out of the oven, let it cool slightly, if you have the patience, and cut it into pieces. Time to gather the family around the table and pour tea into cups. Bon appetit!

Greetings, lovers of my “lazy” recipes!
Fidan Amirbekova is with you again.
I wanted something sweet, and the guests just happened to be unexpected, so I decided to bake this lemon manna with kefir without eggs.
I once accidentally found a recipe for this semolina on the Internet when I was thinking about what to do with an open pack of semolina. This pack was bought for my son, Jamil, who suddenly gave up cereal, and it sat in the cabinet for about a year until I accidentally came across it. A good housewife makes everything work, and for a moment, I’m laying claim to this title.
#projamila
By the way, about Jamila. We tried to protect him as long as possible from various “childhood joys” in the form of chocolate, candy, chips and other things. But grandmothers have their own views on education, so now not a day goes by without sweets. The other day we had the following dialogue:
Me (kissing him): - Jamil, why are you so sweet, huh?
Jamil: - Because I eat sweet candies!
I have a lot of funny stories about Jamil, I even periodically publish them on my page with the tag #projamil.
For example, here's another
The other day we went to shopping mall and decided to sit in a cafe. Jamil asked for ice cream. I ask, which one do you want, strawberry or orange? He thought, his eyes lit up and said: Orange! Well, ok, we are going to the cafe, and Jamil suddenly started singing.
I must say, he loves to sing and does it all the time. We even have a repertoire of about 20 songs that he sings in random order. For example, there Chunga-Changa is perfectly adjacent to Summertime.
IN Lately The song Happy birthday to you is the leader in terms of frequency of performances. He sings it in any situation, to attract attention or from an excess of feelings. So this time it sounded like this:
Oranges tu yu! Oranges tu yu! Oranges, oranges, oranges!
Today I hoped to tempt him with a wonderful lemon semolina pie and I was quite successful.
And what is important: this manna does not require eggs at all. So, if you don’t have eggs at home, or you are an avid vegetarian, then this recipe is for you.And I prepared it like this:
Required Ingredients
For the test:
- zest of one lemon (if the lemon is small, take two)
- 1 cup of sugar (200 gr.)
- 1 packet vanilla sugar (10 gr.)
- 400 ml kefir (you can use yogurt or matsoni, like mine)
- 150 gr. butter
- 2.5 cups semolina (500 gr.)
- 1 teaspoon soda
For the syrup:
- ½ cup sugar
- 100 ml. water
- juice of one lemon (can be replaced with orange)
Step by step recipe:
You can cook the syrup in advance and pour the cooled syrup over the hot pie. Or bake a pie, let it cool and then pour hot syrup over it. The syrup adds extra flavor and aroma to the cake and makes it moist and melt in your mouth.
Yes, I almost forgot, you don’t have to tell your guests about semolina, they will still believe it, that this magical pie is made from porridge.A short digression about semolina
Did you know that semolina is a cereal made from ordinary ground wheat, whose properties, in principle, are no different from flour. It’s just that semolina has larger grains, and due to this, pies from it are obtained with a more grainy, loose structure.
Bon appetit!
Have you ever tried adding semolina to the dough - instead of flour or together with flour? Try it! And the result of the culinary experience will delight you. Because the result is not an ordinary pie or cupcake, but a tender, melt-in-your-mouth semolina!

Products for Manna on kefir with apples
How to cook manna on kefir with apples:
We measure the products into identical glasses, 200g in volume.
Pour kefir over the semolina, mix and leave for half an hour.
In the meantime, let's prepare the apples: wash them, peel them from the cores with partitions and seeds, but you don't have to remove the skin. Then cut the apples into small slices or pieces.

Fill semolina with kefir
Let's prepare the apples
I took 7 medium sized apples. In purified form - 500-600 g, but you can put more in the dough, up to 1 kg. You can’t spoil manna with apples like you can spoil porridge with butter! It is better to choose apples of hard, sweet and sour varieties, moderately juicy - Antonovka, Simerenko.
The semolina has absorbed the kefir - it's time to knead the dough! Pour sugar into a bowl with semolina.
Melt the butter and pour into a bowl, stir.
Then add flour to the dough. It’s better to sift it - then the baked goods will turn out fluffier and more tender.
Make a hole in the flour and pour baking soda into it, quench it with lemon juice or vinegar, and immediately mix the dough thoroughly until smooth.
Pour sugar into a bowl with semolina
Add melted butter
Add flour and slaked soda
Pour the apples into the dough and mix again so that they are distributed evenly. If you think there are a lot of apples, don’t worry, this is the secret of the taste of apple manna.
Let's prepare a baking dish: grease the bottom and walls with a piece of softened butter, and then sprinkle with semolina. It is important to grease and sprinkle the pan thoroughly so that there are no “islands” left for the cake to stick to.
Mix the apples and the resulting dough and put it into the mold.
As for the shape - you can use a shape with a hole, as in the photo, or a silicone, or even just a cast-iron frying pan. You can bake one large semolina or small semolina muffins in silicone molds.
Delicious in any case, the baking time will vary: small cupcakes will bake in 50-55 minutes; Manna in a wide pan with low sides is baked for about 1 hour, in a tall pan with a hole - about an hour and a half.Place the pan with the semolina in the oven, preheated to 180C, and bake until a wooden stick is dry (when testing the dough in the highest place) and the top is golden brown.
Mannik on kefir with apples
We take the finished manna out of the oven and let it stand in the pan for 10-15 minutes. It smells amazing and you can't wait to try it, but if you rush to shake the hot cake out of the pan, it may break and crumble.
To make it easier to get the pie out, you can carefully pry it around the edges with a knife - although if the mold is well greased, it’s easy to shake out the semolina. Cover the pan with a dish, turn it over, lightly pat the bottom with your palm - and the pie is on the dish!
Mannik on kefir with apples
A fresh pie is very tiny and crumbles in your hands, so you need a very sharp knife to cut it. Better yet, just break off portioned pieces and enjoy homemade apple pastries!
Manna with apples is delicious both warm and cooled. And if you like the recipe and want to experiment, add pears or cherries, apricot or peach pieces instead of apples. And you will have a new pie for tea every time!
