Cottage Cheese Dumplings
- 12 oz/350 g flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup water
- salt
- 1/2 lb/250 g cottage cheese mixed with 1 egg and a little salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sour cream
Sift the flour, make a nest in the middle and place the egg and salt there. Mix the egg with a little flour, adding some water too. Make stiff dough. Make a ball of the dough, cover with a cloth and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Roll a thin sheet and cut 3 inch squares. Place some cheese onto each square and fold to make a triangle, sticking the edges well. As you make the dumplings, place them on a floured surface, covering with a cloth. When all of them are done, place in boiling salted water. Let boil until they rise to the surface. Drain, wash with tepid water, then place on a plate and scald with melted butter. You may serve with sour cream too.
