If you want to get your preschool child interested in cooking, then prepare the Anthill pie with him. You don't even have to turn on the oven to do this. What is “Anthill”? This is an original cake made from corn sticks, which are filled with... anything: boiled condensed milk, melted toffee, chocolate, icing, whipped sour cream. The basis for the cake can be not only corn sticks, but also ready-made factory cookies. Housewives are very fond of “Anthill”, because in this recipe you can use failed, that is, broken cakes. There are many recipes for this cake. The basic precept not only allows, but also encourages the use of imagination. You can include broken chocolate, dried fruits, nuts, candied fruits, and other delicious ingredients in the ingredients. In this article we will teach you how to make a cake from corn sticks. You will find recipes with photos of “Anthill” below.
The easiest way
If you are making a pie with a small child, start with the basic version. For the “Anthill” you will need four hundred grams of fresh toffees. Creamy “Korovka” sweets are also suitable. The most important task for the baby is to properly melt the toffee with a stick of butter. To do this, you can turn on a very low heat under the saucepan. Or you can show your child the principle of operation of a water bath. Place a small one on the sides of a large pan. Pour water so that it reaches only the bottom of the upper container. Place butter and toffee in a small saucepan. And we put a large cauldron on the fire. Butter and sweets will melt under the influence of boiling water. Pour half a pack of corn sticks into a heap, in the shape of an anthill. You need to cover the surface underneath with cling film. This is to prevent the corn popsicle cake from sticking to the countertop. Fill the “Anthill” with melted caramel. We send the pie to the cold. After an hour it can be served.
Corn sticks and toffee cake with chocolate
Now let's complicate the recipe. Melt the toffee and butter as described above. But let’s not pour the caramel mass onto the sticks, but rather mix the crispy products into it. Quickly, before the viscous liquid hardens, lay out a pile of anthills. At this stage, you can complicate the recipe even more by adding raisins or chopped dates, prunes, dried apricots, and figs to the list of base ingredients. You can also diversify the Anthill cake with candied fruits or nuts. Let's leave the anthill pile to cool and start preparing the glaze. Break a chocolate bar without filler (i.e. black, white or milk) into smaller pieces. Place in a bowl with butter (about 50 grams), add a little milk and melt, as you did with caramel toffees before. When the glaze turns into a viscous liquid, pour it over the Anthill.
This recipe is also very simple. But provided that you buy already boiled condensed milk. After all, preparing a can of milk for three hours not only takes a long time, but also carries the risk of the canned food exploding. Stores sell a product called "Toffee". It is brown in color and is contained in half-liter glass jars. The disadvantage of such boiled condensed milk is that it is too hard in consistency. And we need a cream to lubricate and partially soak the corn sticks. Therefore, if we use a factory-made product, we will mix a pack of heated (but not melted!) butter into it. This will make the condensed milk creamy. You can also beat this mass with a mixer. Then you can do two things: pour the cream onto stacked sticks or mix them with condensed milk, and then “sculpt” an anthill.
Simple honey cake
Other adhesive materials can also help hold the corn pops cake together. For example, honey. Preference should be given to dense varieties. Buckwheat or just last year's crystallized honey will do. This beekeeping product has the property that is useful for culinary experts: when heated, it becomes liquid, but, unlike butter, it does not change its taste. To be sure that honey will become a cementing material and not a dissolving material for corn sticks, ground nuts should be mixed into it. The proportions here are one to one. For a standard pack of corn sticks (600 grams) you should take a glass of honey and walnut kernels. You can add candied fruits to this cream for greater confidence. The “Anthill” cake is called so because of its shape. But we don't have to make it a slide. You can do it differently. Pour a little cream onto the dish. Sprinkle with corn sticks. Then - again cream and again a layer of crispy products. Alternate layers. There should be honey cream on top.
“Anthill” with cocoa and nuts
The recipe is also ridiculously simple. Essentially, this is the same cake made from corn sticks with condensed milk, only cocoa powder is added to the list of ingredients. Mix a can of boiled milk with a stick of melted butter. Beat with a mixer. Sift cocoa powder through a strainer to make the cream chocolate in color and taste. Beat again. Add a pack of corn sticks to this mixture. Knead. On a flat dish, pour a handful of not very finely crushed kernels of nuts (any kind, but not pine nuts). Let's level it out. Place the Anthill cake on this layer, giving it the shape of a cone if possible. We also sprinkle the product with nuts on top. This pie should sit in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving. This recipe can be supplemented by including grated chocolate in the topping. You can also add it to the cream base. But then you don't need to add cocoa powder. After melting the chocolate along with the butter, pour it into the boiled condensed milk.
Complex cake “Anthill”
This dessert will become not an everyday snack for tea, but a decoration for the holiday table. A cake is prepared from corn sticks, honey, nuts, egg whites, chocolate, and candied fruits. And served with red wine sauce. First, separate the whites of six eggs. Beat them with a glass of powdered sugar into a thick foam. Grind a glass of nuts and one hundred grams of candied fruits, pour in 200 g of honey, mix. Carefully fold in the whipped egg whites and a packet of vanillin. Pour a little cream onto the dish. Place a small portion of corn sticks. So we alternate layer by layer. Put the cake in the refrigerator. Prepare the sauce. To do this, place the egg yolks in a saucepan. Rub them until they turn white. Gradually add a glass of red wine and six tablespoons of honey. Place the saucepan in a large container and heat in a water bath, whisking constantly. When the mixture thickens and foam appears on the surface, the sauce is ready. After an hour in the refrigerator, the cake should already have a firm shape. We take it out and pour the sauce over it. Top with three dark chocolate bars. Place in the refrigerator again overnight.
Cookies and corn sticks cake
We mentioned above that the basis of “Anthill” can be other edible fragile products. Let's try to combine corn sticks (100 g) with regular cookies like “Baked milk” or “For tea”. We will need 300 grams of these confectionery products. Break the cookies and sticks into pieces and add four tablespoons of coconut flakes. In a saucepan, mix one hundred grams of sugar, 4 tbsp. l. cocoa powder and 80 milliliters of heavy cream. Stir and place the mixture on low heat. When the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from the stove and add the butter (150 grams) cut into pieces. Stir until it dissolves. Without waiting for the mixture to cool, pour the sticks with cookies. Add a glass of coffee cream liqueur (Sheridans or Baileys). Stir, place the mixture on cling film and shape. Photos of a corn stick cake do not always show the “anthill” cone; sometimes it can be a roll or a round loaf. Let the product stand for soaking for an hour or two in the refrigerator and we can serve it to the table.
Secrets of the dish
Recipes for corn stick cake are so simple that the dessert simply cannot fail. The only rule to follow is that the impregnation should not be too liquid.

Corn sticks(see photo) is one of children’s favorite sweet treats. The finished product is presented in the form of shaped dried foam, which is made from corn grits.
The very first to come up with this product were the American brothers John and Will Keith Kellogg, who founded a medical sanatorium in the USA. They decided to prepare dishes for the patients using maize flour. But since there was a lot of dough left, and it was a pity to throw it away, the rest of the dough was passed through special rollers. Thus, flakes appeared, which were then fried in sunflower oil and presented as a dessert for tea.
The familiar corn sticks in their current form first appeared in 1963 at the Dnepropetrovsk plant for the production of food concentrates, where the production of the product took place according to the specified technology and on the one developed by V.Ya. Krikunov. equipment.
Today there are quite a lot of varieties of such corn products. The product can be not only sweet, but also salty, glazed, creamy, chocolate, with the taste of bacon, cheese, cinnamon, vanillin, lemon.. In addition, some manufacturers make the sticks multi-colored and also make the product gluten-free and sugar-free.
Compound
The main composition of real corn sticks includes the following products:
- deodorized sunflower oil;
- corn grits;
- salt;
- powdered sugar.
The calorie content of this product is quite high, so you should not abuse it so as not to harm your health.
How are corn sticks made at the factory?
The process of making corn sticks at the plant takes no more than ten minutes, so the company’s workers can make more than three tons of this product per shift. The production of natural sticks is as follows:
- Corn grits are placed in an extruder (special equipment for kneading dough into sticks). There, under the influence of a temperature of one hundred and fifty degrees and strong pressure, it turns into a homogeneous dough.
- Then the corn mass passes through a special matrix with holes of different shapes, which gives the sticks the desired appearance.
- After the extrusion stage, the sticks are still wet and should therefore be further glazed and tumble dried.
- As soon as the sticks fall into a special drum, they will begin to dry and various flavoring additives will be sprayed on top of them, as well as warm sunflower oil.
- Next, the oil-soaked sticks are sent to another compartment of the drum, where they are completely immersed in powdered sugar. Due to the fact that there is warm oil on the sticks, the powder will begin to melt and turn into a sweet glaze.
The corn sticks are ready and ready to pack.
Benefits and harms
Corn sticks are not particularly beneficial because they contain a large amount of carbohydrates. Therefore, many experts recommend eating as many sticks a day as can fit in one hand, and only as a dessert for tea after the main meal, otherwise the product may cause constipation.
Many doctors do not recommend giving corn sticks to children under three years of age, since the young body cannot yet cope with large amounts of carbohydrates, and also in order not to provoke the development of an allergy to the sticks.
In addition, during pregnancy and breastfeeding you should avoid eating chopsticks. Since the product has a high calorie content, it can cause unwanted weight gain in a pregnant woman. A nursing mother should not eat them either, so that the baby does not have bloating, constipation, or an allergy to the new product.
Since the corn product contains many calories, it should not be eaten during a diet. Also, people who have had their gallbladder removed should not use chopsticks.

How to do it at home?

To prepare sticks at home, you need to pour about seventy milliliters of homemade milk into a saucepan and add about fifty grams of butter. Boil the liquid, add half a glass of corn flour and stir continuously so that there are no lumps. The mass should be of uniform consistency. Then you should let the milk-corn mixture cool, and then beat in two eggs and mix thoroughly.
