Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 7.4 oz
Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Vanilla salt - 3.5 oz
Semi-soft cream cheese - 7.1 oz
Butter - 6.3 oz
Activated Baking Soda - 1 tablespoon
Salt - a pinch
Milk - 0 fl oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the filling, take dry cottage cheese and mash it well. Add 50 grams of sugar, 20 milliliters of milk, and half an egg. Mix together, but do not let it become too runny.

Step 2

For the dough, place softened butter, an egg, 50 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, and baking soda into a bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth, then gradually add flour, stirring with a spoon each time. Once all the flour is incorporated into the mixture, knead it with your hands, but not for too long.

Step 3

Let the dough rest for 15–20 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into equal balls (about the size of a large walnut), then roll them out on a floured surface. Place the filling along the edge of the resulting circles and shape the pastries so that the cheese layer is visible.
