How to Cook Delicious Manna Desert:

• Mix all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, semolina, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

• Now, add kefir to the mix of dry ingredients (as a last resort, you can replace kefir with sour cream and even plain yogurt, but only with the help of kefir manna will be so fluffy and soft).

• Melt butter in a small saucepan.

• Add melted butter to the batter. Stir everything intensely.

• The next step would be to break an egg.

• After another good stir, you should leave the batter for 25 minutes to rest (at this time, the batter will rise).

• It is easier for you to take cake form with a removable bottom or adjustable cake ring and use parchment paper as a bottom. Before using any form, smear all the sides with butter. Now, place the batter in the form.

• Bake manna in the oven for 45 minutes at 180 °C/375 °F. Before serving, decorate manna with powdered sugar. Enjoy your delicious manna dessert!
