Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make sochniki with cottage cheese from shortcrust pastry? Prepare the ingredients for the test. Start your preparation with this. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance; it should be completely soft. Choose high-quality and natural oil, without vegetable fats, that complies with GOST.

How to make the dough? Take a large bowl and place soft butter in it. Add powder and beat in the egg. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

If your cottage cheese is grainy, then puree it with a blender until smooth. Or rub it through a sieve.
