Cooking

1. We start preparing the dough. We prepare all the ingredients according to the list. Be sure to sift flour with baking powder.

2. First we will mix sour cream, sugar and salt.

3. Mix the products until smooth with a whisk.

4. Add flour with baking powder to liquid ingredients. Knead the dough step by step. The dough should be soft.

5. We round the finished dough, leave it in a bowl. Cover the bowl with cling film. Set aside while we prepare the filling.

6. We begin to prepare the filling. We prepare products according to the list. Butter should be taken out of the refrigerator in advance.

7. Put the protein in a bowl, add salt to it, mix the mass with a whisk. Then add sugar. Mix until the sugar dissolves. Add cottage cheese to the bowl, begin to mix the mass with a fork. It is not necessary to beat the curd mass with a blender, otherwise the mass will become very rare, and for the sochniki, the filling should keep its shape. We also add flour and sour cream to the curd mass.

8. We proceed to the formation of sochniki . Divide the dough into two equal parts.

9. We round one part and put it aside, roll out the second part into a thin layer about five millimeters thick. Cut out blanks for baking with a glass or a round shape.

10. The blanks are ready, we remove the excess dough, it will still be useful to us.

11. We visually divide the workpiece into two parts, put one spoonful of filling on one, leave the second empty.

12. Cover the curd filling with an empty half. You don’t need to press it down, just “cover it”, press the edges on the bend on both sides a little.

13. We shift the future sochniki onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. If your paper is not oiled, I recommend doing this so that our pastries do not stick to the paper and can be easily removed.

14. By this time, the oven is heated to t-180 °, top - bottom mode. Bake for twenty five minutes. We make sure that the sochniki with cottage cheese are reddened, but not burnt. The sochniki are baked to a pleasant, golden crust, let them cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. For a glossy surface, before baking, the sochniki can be covered with whipped yolk, but this is optional.

Ready-made according to the classic recipe, we serve the sochniki with cottage cheese to the table with tea, milk, cocoa. Sochniki are tasty and healthy pastries, as they have curd filling, and cottage cheese is very healthy.
