Delicious Russian pastries filled with creamy farmer's cheese, egg, vanilla, and sour cream, perfect with coffee.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 0.5 cup lukewarm milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups farmer's cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
Instructions:
  • Combine yeast and a pinch of sugar in a bowl of warm milk. Allow the mixture to sit until the yeast softens and a creamy foam starts to form, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix sifted flour with yeast mixture, butter, salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, egg, and 2 tablespoons sugar until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Once doubled, gently punch down the dough, cover, and let it rise again until doubled, around 1 hour.
  • Coat the baking sheet with a drizzle of oil for a smooth release of your delicious creation.
  • Divide dough into 4 equal parts, then cut each part into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball and let rise for 20 minutes.
  • Mix together farmer's cheese, egg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl to create a delicious filling.
  • Simply use a water glass to make an indentation in the center of each dough piece. Fill each indentation with the filling and brush with egg yolk. Continue filling the remaining dough pieces. Cover and allow to rise for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for the perfect bake.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven.
