Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chicken Wings

Start by cleaning and patting dry the 12 chicken wings. Season them with salt and place them in a mixing bowl.

Next, add the soy sauce and olive oil. Mix well to coat the wings evenly. Set them aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

When ready, preheat your air fryer and arrange the wings in the basket. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway for even cooking.

Step 2

Make the Vatrushki Filling

In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.

For the topping, mix the sour cream, cornstarch, and your choice of frozen berries in another bowl to create a rich, fruity filling.

Preheat your oven while you prepare the dough, and have a baking sheet ready to go.

Step 3

Assemble the Vatrushki

Roll out the dough on a floured surface. Cut out circles, and gently shape them into small cups.

Fill each cup with the cottage cheese mixture and then layer on some of the berry mixture. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden.

Step 4

Prepare the Filo Pastry Tubes

Take sheets of filo pastry and cut them into strips. Place a dollop of cottage cheese mixed with hard cheese and fresh herbs at one end of the strip.

Roll them tightly and brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until crispy and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Gluten-Free 🥳: Use gluten-free flour to make sweet or savory pastries without compromising on taste! Just measure your gluten-free flour exactly as you would regular flour.

Vegan 🌱: Replace dairy with plant-based alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk and use mashed banana or flaxseed as an egg substitute. You’ll still enjoy all the flavors without any eggs or dairy!
