Our family is very fond of any curd pastry - be it pies, or rolls, or some kind of cookies. And, I also see from my publications that curd pastries are popular among readers!
And today I want to bring to your attention another recipe for baking with cottage cheese... This is something between shortbread cookies and curd buns (with shortbread dough)! But, it reminds me of juices more - in a more interesting and unusual presentation ...
Cooking ingredients:
For the test:
Butter - 150 g
Kefir - 150 g (or sour cream 80-100 g)
Sugar - 3 tbsp. l. (70 g)
Vanillin - to taste
Salt - a pinch
Turmeric - 1/2 tsp l.
Baking powder - 1 tsp l.
Flour - 330-350 g
For filling:
Cottage cheese - 250-300 g
Sugar - 2 tbsp. l.
Chicken egg - 1 pc.
Flour (or starch) - 1 tbsp. l. (30 g)
Vanillin - also, to taste
We start by making the dough - put butter in a bowl, add sugar and grind until softened. Of course, with soft butter it will be faster ...
Next, pour in kefir, put vanillin, a pinch of salt and turmeric, and rub again. Instead of kefir, you can add sour cream - a little more expensive, but the finished products will be more crumbly (and in this case, they will look more like cookies). It is not necessary to add turmeric at all, but then the "tulips" will turn out highly!!! pale - turmeric will give a more "sunny" pleasant shade.
Now sift the flour (at first only 300 grams), baking powder - and knead the soft, not elastic dough. Add the remaining amount of flour as needed, if the dough is already going into a ball, no more is needed ...
To prepare the filling, put all the ingredients in a bowl at the same time - except for the egg !!!
It must be divided into yolk and white (I even do juicers like that), put the yolk in a bowl right away, and grind everything ...
... and beat the protein in a separate bowl, with a mixer, until a foamy stable mass.
Then mix the whipped protein with the main curd mass.
Divide the dough into 15-16 equal pieces, round them.
Then we roll it out - not too thin, otherwise, the dough may burst under the pressure of the filling during baking! On 4 sides we make cuts of 3 cm, in the middle we put a little more than a teaspoon of curd filling. And, one by one, we close it with one of the four "petals" - as in the photo. The order does not matter, we turn the corners down.
We transfer the curd "tulips" to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and send them to bake in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. As already said, you should not wait for them to brown! Cook, taste, enjoy your tea!
