Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 200 g cottage cheese
• 75 g butter softened
• 1.5-2 cup flour part for dusting
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp cinnamon

Method

 

1. Combine the cottage cheese with the softened butter (a fork works well), add the salt and baking powder.
2. Add a cup of flour and knead the dough, adding a little more if needed. Gather the dough into a ball.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
4. Roll out half the dough on a well-floured surface into a thin circle, generously sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and cut into wedges with a knife.
5. Roll up each wedge from the wide edge to the point, roll the whole crescent in the cinnamon sugar, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
   
6. Bake in an oven preheated to 170-180°C for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely. Enjoy!
   

Notes

The dough takes about 1.5 cups of flour, plus another 0.5 cup for dusting.

Tips

• Add the flour gradually: about 1.5 cups go into the dough itself, plus another 0.5 cup for dusting and rolling.
• Roll each rolled-up crescent whole in the cinnamon sugar - the flavor becomes much richer.
• Let the pastries cool completely - only then do they reach the right texture.
