Instructions

Dough

Mix the cottage cheese, eggs, salt and sugar, add the butter, then work in the flour with the baking powder. Rest for 10–15 minutes.

The dough should be soft and slightly sticky; it should not spread and should hold its shape as you form the pies.

Fillings

Strawberry: cut the strawberries and warm them — they will release juice. Pour off some of the liquid and add the sugar. Dissolve the starch in the juice and stir it in. Cook until thick — the consistency should be like a thick jam.

Egg and onion: boil and chop the eggs, mix with the green onion and salt, and add the melted butter. The filling comes out juicy rather than dry.

Baking

Shape the pies around the filling, brush with yolk and bake at 175 °C for 20–25 minutes.

Freezing

Freeze them shaped

Freeze the formed pies and bake them as you need them.
