Directions
-
In a bowl, mix 400 grams of cottage cheese, 200 grams of butter, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 360–400 grams of flour. Mix thoroughly until the dough begins to form. Gradually add more flour and knead by hand to create a soft, pliable dough. Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
-
After chilling, divide the dough into two equal parts. Return one part to the refrigerator. Roll out the other part into a 0.5 cm thick layer. Use a round cutter to cut the dough into 8 cm circles.
-
In a small bowl, mix 7 tablespoons of sugar with a pinch of vanilla. For each dough circle, fold it in half, sprinkle with the sugar mixture, then fold again into a quarter-circle. Sprinkle sugar on the top and gently press. Arrange the folded pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 13–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
