Instructions

Step 1

Prep Your Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients, ensuring they are at room temperature for the best results. This step is crucial for achieving smooth dough.

Measure out the required 250 grams of cottage cheese, 100 grams of softened butter, 1 egg, and the other ingredients accurately.

Step 2

Make the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, softened butter, and egg. Mix until the ingredients are well-blended.

Next, add in the sugar (70 grams) and keep the remaining sugar aside for later. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder until a soft dough forms.

Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour to help it firm up.

Step 3

Shape and Bake the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). After the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator.

Shape the dough into small rolls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between each roll.

Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top of the rolls before placing them in the oven.

Step 4

Bake to Perfection

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking time may vary depending on your oven.

They are ready when they are golden brown on top and a delightful aroma fills your kitchen.

Step 5

Serving Suggestions

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, you can dust them with powdered sugar.

Enjoy your homemade cottage cheese rolls with tea or as a delicious snack!

Servings

When it comes to serving these scrumptious curd buns, the possibilities are endless! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a simple yet chic presentation. 🍩

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations: Don’t worry if you follow a gluten-free or vegan diet; these buns can be easily adapted! For **gluten-free**, substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Make sure it includes xantham gum for the best texture. For the **vegan** version, replace the egg with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water works wonders)! Also, use plant-based butter instead of regular butter. 🌱 With these modifications, everyone can enjoy the delightful taste of these buns!

Faq

  • What temperature do I bake the buns at?

    Bake your buns at 180°C (about 350°F) for 20-30 minutes, adjusting based on your oven’s performance.

  • Can I use different types of cheese in the recipe?

    Absolutely! You can use ricotta, or even cream cheese, to add a different flavor profile to your buns.

  • What if my dough is too sticky?

    If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour while kneading until you achieve a manageable consistency.

  • Can I freeze the buns for later?

    Yes, you can freeze the baked buns. Just ensure they are completely cooled, then wrap them tightly. They can be frozen for up to 3 months!

  • Why do I need to chill the dough?

  • How can I tell when the buns are done?

    They should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean!
