Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Sift 3 cups of flour into a bowl, add 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and mix.

Step 3

Beat the egg with a fork, add it to the flour, and mix.

Step 4

Pour 200 ml of boiling water into the flour.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and knead the dough.

Step 6

Grease your hands with the remaining tablespoon of oil, gather the dough into a ball, and place it in a bag to rest for 30–40 minutes.

Step 7

Sort the raisins, rinse them, soak in hot water for 10 minutes, drain the water, and dry the raisins.

Step 8

Separate the remaining 2 eggs into whites and yolks.

Step 9

Mash the cottage cheese with a fork, add 2 yolks, and mix.

Step 10

Add salt, sugar, cornstarch, and raisins, and mix.

Step 11

Roll the dough into a thick sausage, divide it into 4 parts, and cover with a towel to prevent drying out.

Step 12

Roll each part into a long rope, cut into slices, and lightly dust the slices with flour on both sides.

Step 13

Roll the slices into flat cakes, place the filling inside, and pinch to seal the dumplings. Cover the sealed dumplings with plastic wrap or a towel to prevent drying out. Optionally, create a decorative edge.

Step 14

Pour water into a pot, bring to a boil, salt the water, drop the dumplings into the boiling water, stir to prevent sticking, and once the water boils again and all the dumplings float, cook for 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl, add a piece of butter, and shake to distribute the butter.

Step 15

Serve hot with sour cream.
