Variations

Add raisins, dried apricots or fresh berries for variety.

Use vanilla sugar instead of regular sugar for a more aromatic flavour.

For a savoury option, replace the sugar with herbs and salt.


Secrets to tenderness and flavour

The cottage cheese should be well drained so that it is not too wet.

Do not use too much flour to keep the cheesecakes tender.

Shape the cheesecakes with slightly damp hands to achieve smoothness.


Tips on ingredients

Use medium-fat cottage cheese (5-9%) for the best texture.

The egg should be at room temperature for better mixing.

Partially replace the flour with semolina for fluffier cheesecakes.


Cooking tips

Fry over medium heat so that the cheesecakes are well cooked inside.

Do not flip them too early — wait until a golden crust forms.

Cover the cheesecakes with a lid 2-3 minutes before the end of frying for even cooking.
