The legendary 91-year-old Petrutė recipe for mushrooms and squirrels – they were bought and eaten throughout the Akmenė

When I returned to my parents, I came across a farm with all kinds of items. My eyes closed behind these squirrel and rooster pans, which had not been seen in over twenty years, I grabbed them both and brought them home filled with joy. I told my mother that I wanted to bake such cakes, that is, from the same dough as in childhood.

Mom says these cakes were always made according to Aunt Petrutė’s recipe from Akmenė.

“I have to call her. You will surely know this recipe and remember it by heart, ”said his mother.

According to his mother, all Aunt Petrutė Ertenienė squirrels and roosters knew Akmenė. She baked them all her life, and the townspeople bought them because no one knew how to bake such delicacies. Only now, when Petrute is 91 years old, has she been baking squirrels and roosters for the past 20 years just for pleasure, for herself and her husband.

Recipe for petrutė cakes: mushrooms, squirrels and roosters

Will need:

• Flour (from hunch until batter is thick enough, should be thicker than pancake batter)
• 6 egg yolks
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 package of butter
• 1 jar of sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder with plenty

Doing: Shake all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Roll out the dough into a hot skillet and wait for it to brown well.

But the main thing that should not be forgotten is to grease the cast iron skillet. It can be salty or smoked. In no way oil or butter. This gives the cake a distinctive flavor.

If you want rooster and squirrel heads, you can decorate with melted chocolate or boiled cocoa, sugar and protein.

You know, it was so delicious that nothing more tasty and it can’t be. We ate the whole family, even the younger generation that had never tasted those roosters. Everyone liked it. All five pans disappeared instantly. We don’t even let mushrooms, squirrels, and roosters cool down. Yes, and the mass was the same as in childhood. All that remains is to thank Aunt Petrute.
