Fat-free curds and curd masses or curd products should not be used, because when mixed with salt or sugar, the filling becomes too liquid, and dumplings begin to fall apart during the cooking process.

So, meet - dumplings with cottage cheese - a step-by-step recipe with a photo, at your service!
Ingredients:
Dough for dumplings with cottage cheese:
- 3 cups flour + 100 gr.
- ½ cup water (100 ml)
- ½ cup milk (100 ml)
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
Filling for dumplings with cottage cheese:
- 600 gr. cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch of salt
For submission:
- butter
- sour cream
* glass 200 ml.
Preparing the dough for dumplings with cottage cheese:
As with homemade dumplings, I strongly recommend that you use premium flour, labeled "for dumplings and pasta", also called "strong flour" with a high % gluten content. It is desirable to sift the flour.
Pour two cups of flour into a spacious bowl, beat in an egg.
We heat water and milk to a temperature of 35-40 degrees. Then pour warm water with milk and add salt. We begin to mix the dough for dumplings with a spoon or spatula.
When the egg and milk are mixed until smooth, add the third glass of flour, and knead a soft, uncooked dough.
At this stage, you need to knead the dough with your hands to feel the elasticity and uniformity of the dough.
You should get such an even and smooth “bun” of dough, which we cover with a cloth napkin and leave alone for 30-40 minutes.
Preparing the filling for dumplings with cottage cheese:
In a deep bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg and salt. Next, we need to achieve maximum uniformity of the curd filling for dumplings, so I always mix the cottage cheese with the egg with my hands.
The result is a thick, homogeneous filling for dumplings with cottage cheese, which keeps its shape and never leaks out of the dumplings. If it so happened that you came across the cottage cheese too soft, or the egg is too large, or the cottage cheese was measured by eye, and the filling turned out to be too liquid - do not rush to get upset.
In this case, you need to add a few tablespoons of semolina to the filling for dumplings with cottage cheese, mix and let stand for a couple of minutes so that the semolina absorbs excess moisture. We figured out the stuffing. Let's start cooking dumplings with cottage cheese.
During the time of infusion under a towel, the dough for dumplings with cottage cheese will float a little and become sticky. Add a little more flour, and knead the dough on the countertop with your hands until it becomes smooth and elastic.
We roll out the dough with a rolling pin into a thin layer, no more than 3 mm thick. During rolling, the dough will need to be turned over several times, and dust the work surface with flour all the time.
If the dough returns to its original position when rolling out, it means that there is not enough flour for it. Dust the top of the dough with flour, and rub with your hands in a circle until you see that the circle of dough on the table remains in place.
Next, the most interesting part of the process of making dumplings, which children especially like, is to squeeze round blanks for dumplings with a glass. Through experience, I found out that for ideal-sized dumplings, a glass or cup with a diameter of 7.5 cm is best suited.
We remove the remaining dough from the countertop back into the bowl under the towel.
How to sculpt dumplings with cottage cheese:
We take a round blank in our left hand, and spread about 1 teaspoon of the curd filling.
We bend a round blank with a filling, and make a pinch in the middle, as in my photo.
Then we pinch all the edges of the dumpling with cottage cheese, as in my photo. The curd filling should not get on the edges that we pinch, otherwise the dumplings will boil, so make sure that there is not too much filling.
We put the finished dumplings with cottage cheese on a plate or board, which we first sprinkle with flour, cover with a cloth towel and send to the refrigerator. Or in the freezer, then you do not need to cover with a towel.
How to cook dumplings with cottage cheese:
We pass to the final part of the preparation of dumplings with cottage cheese. To properly cook dumplings with cottage cheese, we need about 1.5 liters of water for 10 pcs. dumplings. Put water on the stove and bring to a boil. The water can be slightly salted.
We dip dumplings with cottage cheese into boiling water with a slotted spoon, and immediately mix so that the dumplings are not sent to the bottom of the pan. Then we wait until all the dumplings with potatoes come up and begin to boil.
Are you interested in how much to cook dumplings with cottage cheese? I answer: after boiling in a saucepan, you need to cook dumplings with cottage cheese for 5 minutes, no more. We need only the dough to cook, and the filling in dumplings is already ready.
We take out the finished dumplings with cottage cheese from the pan with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate.
Scatter the pieces of butter on top and stir. Pour sour cream over dumplings with cottage cheese.
I wish you a pleasant appetite, and the most delicious dumplings with cottage cheese in the world!
