Cottage Cheese Pastries - Hungarians

Cottage cheese pastries, or "hungarians," are baked treats made from just three ingredients: ready-made puff-yeast dough, cottage cheese and powdered sugar. Shape them into squares, let them proof for 30-40 minutes and bake for 20-25 minutes at 200 °C. Very convenient and budget-friendly - I recommend them.

Method

 

1. Thaw the dough, cut it into squares and roll out each one a little.
2. Mix the cottage cheese with the powdered sugar and place the filling in the center of each square.
   
3. Bring the corners together to form a square, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let proof for 30-40 minutes.

5. Dust the finished pastries with powdered sugar.
   

Tips

• For the filling, it's best to use dry cottage cheese, not a wet one - otherwise the filling will leak out during baking.
• Don't skip the 30-40 minute proofing - the pastries will rise noticeably better.
• Dust the finished pastries with powdered sugar only after they've cooled.
