Lazy dumplings in the microwave

10 minutes

Lazy dumplings are a simple and cozy dish of Russian cuisine that conveys the warmth of home. Traditionally cooked on the stove, modern life dictates its own rules, and this recipe is adapted for microwave cooking—quickly, conveniently, without extra hassle. The tender dough made from cottage cheese, flour, eggs, and butter creates a soft, airy texture while the light sweetness of sugar harmoniously complements it. The taste of dumplings reminds one of childhood when grandmothers made them for their grandchildren's breakfast. They are served with honey, sour cream or jam and sometimes just with a piece of butter melting on the hot dough for added tenderness. An ideal option for a quick breakfast or cozy dinner!
