Mom Taught Me This – No Need for Cake! Costs Pennies and Tastes 5 Times Better Than Regular Pies

Soft and fluffy pastries with a cottage cheese filling always turn out great. The dough is made with milk and sour cream, which makes it airy and helps it stay fresh for a long time.

Ingredients for the Dough:

• 250 ml milk

• 1 tbsp sour cream

• 30 g sugar

• 10 g yeast

• A pinch of salt

• 1 egg

• 100 ml vegetable oil

• About 500 g flour

For the Filling:

• 180 g cottage cheese

• 1 egg

• Raisins to taste

• 1 tbsp starch

For the Sugar Topping:

• 3 tbsp flour

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 50 g butter

Preparation Steps: 

Preparation Steps:

1. The milk should be warm, and all other ingredients should be at room temperature.

2. For the sweet topping, rub the butter with sugar and flour until crumbly, then place in the fridge.

3. Mix the warm milk with sour cream, salt, sugar, and yeast. Stir well.

4. Add the egg and vegetable oil, and mix again.

5. Sift the flour and gradually add it to the mixture.

Tip: You may need a bit more or less flour—adjust as needed. Don’t overdo it, or the dough will be too heavy.

6. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.

7. For the filling, mix cottage cheese, raisins, and egg. Add sugar to taste.

8. Divide the dough into portions. Roll each one into a small circle, brush with melted butter, place the filling in the center, and fold into triangles.

9. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the triangles on it. Cover and let rest for another 20 minutes.

10. Brush with melted butter or beaten egg yolk, then sprinkle with the crumb topping from the fridge.

11. Bake at 180°C (355°F) until golden brown.
