Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Dough

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

Assemble Pastries

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

Bake the Pastries

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.

Servings

Imagine the scent of warm pastries wafting through your kitchen as you present these scrumptious cheese delights! Serve them fresh out of the oven, perhaps with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey. For a fun twist, pair these pastries with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream - perfect for indulging! 🍰 Want to elevate your tea time? Lay out an assortment of fruits, like juicy strawberries or vibrant blueberries, to accompany your pastries. Your guests will surely appreciate the colorful display! 🍓🍇

Variations

Looking for some alternatives? We’ve got you covered! 🌟 If you’re aiming for a gluten-free option, simply swap out regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. 🌾 For those who follow a vegan lifestyle, replace the egg with a flaxseed meal “egg” (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). You can use coconut yogurt or any plant-based yogurt in place of the sour cream, and voilà, your pastries are now a delightful vegan treat! 🥥✨
