Lazy dumplings a la Odessa are the embodiment of home comfort and traditional Ukrainian cuisine. Originating from Odessa, they are tender cheese pillows boiled to airy softness. Their taste is a harmony of creamy lightness of cottage cheese with the subtle sweetness of powdered sugar and a hint of saltiness. This recipe is especially loved for its simplicity and quick preparation, with its main feature being the minimal number of ingredients that give the dish a pure, natural flavor. Dumplings are served hot, often with melted butter, sour cream or honey, turning each serving into a true gastronomic delight. An ideal breakfast or cozy dessert for the whole family!
