1
Pour water, add 70 grams of butter and salt into a small pot to prepare choux pastry.
- Water: 1 glass
- Butter: 270 g
- Salt: to taste
2
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Gradually add the sifted flour, constantly and vigorously stirring with a spoon (preferably wooden).
- Wheat flour: 1 glass
3
In 1-2 minutes, the dough will start to pull away from the sides of the pot and form a ball.
4
Remove the cooked dough from the heat and cool it to 30 degrees to prevent the eggs from curdling.
5
Add eggs to the dough one at a time, mixing well after each egg. The finished dough should be uniform, smooth, and thick enough not to spread on the baking sheet.
- Chicken egg: 4 pieces
6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe small rings onto the baking sheet.
7
Bake the rings for 30–35 minutes at a temperature of 190–200 degrees.
8
For the cream, mix 200 grams of softened butter with cottage cheese and sugar.
- Butter: 270 g
- Cottage cheese: 400 g
- Sugar: 1 glass
9
Add vanilla powder and whip until a smooth fluffy mass is obtained.
- Vanillin: 0.5 teaspoon

Connect the baked choux rings with cottage cheese cream. For this, carefully cut off the tops of the rings, fill the pastry with cream, and close the choux rings with a lid.
