Description

For my oven, 25 minutes was clearly not enough; I had to bake them for 40 minutes.

Ingredients

Sugar - 7.1 oz
20% Sour Cream - 3.5 oz
Butter - 5.3 oz
Wheat Flour - 15.9 oz
Salt - 0.2 oz
Vanilla salt - 1.1 oz
Whole egg - 0.7 oz
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Cottage cheese - 17.6 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, beat the sour cream and eggs with sugar. Add the butter and beat again. Sift the flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl, and knead a soft dough.

Step 2

For the filling, mash the cottage cheese with vanilla sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Roll out the dough to 5 mm thick, cut out circles with a diameter of 9–10 cm. Place 1 tablespoon of filling on each circle. Cover with the free edge (do not pinch!). Place on a baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, and bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
