Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, and egg.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform dough. It should be soft but not sticky.
If necessary, add a little bit more flour to reach the right consistency.
Step 2
Take portions of the dough and form them into small patties as demonstrated in the video.
Place a generous spoonful of the sour cream mixture on top of each patty and spread it evenly.
Add frozen strawberries or your choice of berries on top of the filling, ensuring they are well distributed.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
Arrange the pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take around 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
