Classic lazy cottage cheese Dumplings

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make classic lazy cottage cheese dumplings? Prepare the products. Cottage cheese is suitable for any fat content, but the most delicious dumplings will be made from fatty, rustic cottage cheese. The amount of flour is approximate, it can take either more or less, it depends on the moisture content of the cottage cheese.

2. Step 2:

   

   We prepare the dough for dumplings so that it does not boil when cooking. Take a bowl, put the cottage cheese in it. It is not necessary to wipe it through a sieve, even if it is granular. After all, these are lazy dumplings. Everything is done quickly and simply. Break an egg into the cottage cheese, add salt and sugar.

3. Step 3:

   

   Mix cottage cheese with egg until smooth.

4. Step 4:

   

   Start adding flour by spoonful, stirring after each serving. The dough should eventually become thick and gather in the center of the bowl. But do not overdo it, it is not necessary to make it too steep - the dumplings will turn out to be flour, not cottage cheese. I had a purchased cottage cheese of 5% fat content, it took exactly three full spoonfuls of flour with a slide. If your cottage cheese is very moist, put more.

6. Step 5:

   

   Sprinkle the table or work surface with flour. Take a small portion of the dough. Roll it in flour and roll it out in the form of a long sausage 2-3 cm wide .

7. Step 6:

   

   Cut the sausage into strips about 1 cm wide. I always cut a little obliquely to make lozenges. That's what my mom used to do, and she peeked in kindergarten. Transfer the finished portion of dumplings to a board sprinkled with flour. Make the rest of the dumplings from the whole dough in the same way.

8. Step 7:

   

   Boil water in a small saucepan or saucepan, add salt to it. Throw a portion of dumplings into the water. Do not throw everything at once - they will be cramped to cook and they will stick together. Stir so that the dumplings do not stick to the bottom. Boil the dumplings for a minute after they pop up. You don't need to cook longer - they can fall apart.

9. Step 8:

   

   Using a slotted spoon, take out the dumplings on a plate. Immediately throw in the next portion and cook it in a similar way. Serve the dumplings hot, with butter or sour cream. They are quite a bit sweet, you can serve condensed milk or jam to them. I like to sprinkle dumplings with sugar on top.
