Bambi Ground Lane Biscuits 300g

This is not the biscuit to eat — this is the biscuit to cook with. Bambi Ground Lane (Plazma Mljevena) is the same beloved Serbian biscuit as the whole Lane, but finely ground and packed ready for baking, for mixing into warm milk, and for every recipe in the Yugoslav kitchen that calls for keks mleveni.

About Bambi Ground Lane (Plazma Mljevena)

Plazma Mljevena — ground Plazma — is Bambi’s answer to a practical kitchen question: why crush your own biscuits when the bakery will do it for you? The result is a fine, uniform biscuit powder made from the same honey-and-wheat Lane biscuit recipe (see also: Bambi Lane Biscuits Big Box, SKU: GP BAMBI 24003E), milled to a consistent texture that goes directly into recipes without any further preparation. Open the bag, measure, and bake.

Made by Bambi-Banat A.D. in Požarevac, Serbia — the same factory and the same fortified recipe as the whole biscuit. Vitamins C, B6, niacin, and thiamin are present in the ground form exactly as they are in the whole biscuit.

How to Use It

Plazma torta (no-bake cake): Measure 300g of ground Plazma directly from the bag — no crushing, no processing. Combine with softened butter, an egg yolk, sugar, vanilla, and enough milk to form a workable dough. Press into a mold lined with whole Lane biscuits, refrigerate overnight, and slice. The 300g bag is precisely enough for one full Plazma torta recipe.

Baby and toddler porridge: Stir two to three tablespoons of ground Plazma into warm milk to create the classic Yugoslav baby breakfast — a soft, mildly sweet porridge that generations of Balkan parents have used as a first food. The pre-ground format is essential here: the fine, lump-free texture dissolves evenly in warm liquid.

Other uses: Dust over scoops of ice cream or a bowl of yogurt with fresh berries; press into pie or cheesecake bases (in the same manner as graham cracker crust); layer into parfaits; mix into no-bake truffles or chocolate balls (cokoladne kuglice).

Plazma Torta — One Bag, One Cake

The classic recipe: pour the full 300g bag into a bowl. Add 200g softened butter, one egg yolk, two tablespoons of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla, and enough milk (start with 100ml) to bring the mixture to a soft, moldable consistency. Line a rectangular tin or loaf pan with whole Lane biscuits (SKU: GP BAMBI 24003E). Press the ground mixture in firmly, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Unmold, dust the surface with any remaining ground Plazma, and slice cold. Serve in thin slices — it is dense, rich, and deeply familiar to anyone who grew up in the Balkans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Plazma Mljevena?
Plazma Mljevena is the finely milled version of Serbia’s iconic Plazma (Lane) biscuit — the same recipe, the same honey-wheat-butter flavour, but processed into a fine powder. It is used as a baking ingredient, as a topping for desserts, and as the basis of the traditional Balkan baby breakfast (keks s mlijekom — biscuit powder stirred into warm milk).

Should I buy the ground version or the whole biscuits?
If your primary purpose is baking — Plazma torta, cheesecake base, truffles — buy this product (GP BAMBI 24002E). The ground version is pre-milled to a consistent fine texture and ready to use immediately. If you want to eat biscuits or gift a large box, choose the Bambi Lane Biscuits Big Box 600g (GP BAMBI 24003E), which you can also crush yourself for baking if needed.

Is Lane the same as Plazma?
Broadly yes — both are Bambi biscuits from the same factory in Požarevac. “PlazmaÝ is the original domestic Serbian name; “LaneÝ is the export-market name used on packaging sold internationally. Some long-time diaspora shoppers note that the Lane formulation is slightly sweeter and was originally designed for infants, while the domestic Plazma is the standard adult version. The difference, if any, is minor and both are sold as the same product in the US market.

Can I use this to make Plazma torta?
Yes — this is exactly what it is sold for. The 300g bag is sized to produce one full Plazma torta. Combine with butter, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla, press into a mold lined with whole Lane biscuits, and refrigerate. Full recipe in the serving tip above.

Is it safe for babies and toddlers?
Plazma (Lane) biscuits were originally formulated in 1967 as a nutritious food for infants and toddlers, enriched with vitamins and minerals.
