There are a lot of delicious Lenten pies, pies, and dumplings. A Lenten table can be not only tasty, but also surprisingly varied. What does lean dough mean ? It should not contain animal products - eggs, butter, milk and other dairy products. However, do not be upset, without these products you can prepare amazing Lenten baked goods that will give a head start to any baked goods. In addition, these products (eggs, dairy products) can be replaced with others that can be consumed during fasting. For example, one egg can be replaced with 2 tbsp. potato or corn starch, 2 tsp. baking powder and 2 tbsp. water, half a mashed banana, 3 tbsp. mashed apple, plum, apricot, pumpkin, zucchini puree or 2 tbsp. oatmeal soaked in water. Instead of milk in the dough, you can use soy substitutes or prepare coconut milk yourself (beat the coconut pulp with water in a blender and strain it). As for butter, there is a way out here too. Replace it with vegetable oil, but in smaller proportions. For example, if 100 g of butter is equal to half a glass, then you should take a third of a glass of vegetable oil. Interestingly, butter can be replaced with prune puree. To do this, beat the prune pulp with a small amount of water in a blender. As you can see, nothing is impossible! By the way, lean baked goods can acquire a more interesting new taste if you replace the water in the dough with vegetable or fruit juice, try it!
