4 servings
50 minutes
Quick cottage cheese pastries are a cozy and homemade treat from Russian cuisine. Their base is a delicate cottage cheese dough that doesn't require long kneading or resting. Thanks to kefir and baking powder, it turns out airy and soft, while the cottage cheese gives it a light creamy note. These pastries can be made with any filling—sweet or savory; they are perfect for family tea time or a quick snack. The crispy golden crust obtained from frying in vegetable oil makes them especially appetizing. The simplicity of preparation and accessible ingredients make this recipe a find for those who appreciate delicious homemade baked goods without extra hassle.
