Cottage cheese is a universal product.

In addition to desserts, cottage cheese is also used in dishes with vegetables, cheese and garlic. This article is dedicated to such a culinary masterpiece as with sugar. The recipe for this dessert is quite simple and varied.
First, let's look at how to prepare cottage cheese envelopes with sugar in the simplest way. Recipe No. 1 involves the use of the following products:
Now that you have all the necessary products available, you should proceed directly to preparing the envelopes. First, grind the butter and sugar in a separate bowl. Then cottage cheese should be added to the resulting mass. All ingredients must be mixed thoroughly. Then, one by one, baking powder is added first, and only then flour, previously sifted, is added in small portions to the rest of the products. It is better to leave the resulting dough in the cold for half an hour. Then you should roll it out, but not very thinly (the thickness should be about 3-5 mm). Next, the layer needs to be cut into squares, the sides of which are 8 cm. Sugar is added to the center of each piece to taste.
Now the only thing left to do is to make envelopes from the squares. To do this, the corners of the pieces should be connected in the center. Now the envelopes should be placed on a baking sheet, previously covered with special baking paper, and left in the oven for about 25 minutes. So the curd envelopes with sugar are ready. A recipe with a photo will help you evaluate the appearance of the resulting delicacy. Bon appetit!
You can try making other cottage cheese envelopes with sugar. The recipe will be similar to the previous, basic one, but it will also have its own characteristics. The list of required products is as follows:
Let's start with margarine first. It should be grated on a coarse grater and left warm for a short time. While the margarine softens, combine the flour with and add the cottage cheese crushed with a fork. Now you can combine the resulting mass with margarine. You need to knead the dough until it stops being sticky. Now, to make it even more elastic when cooking, let’s leave it in the cold for an hour. After this time, the dough should be rolled out and circles should be squeezed out of it, quite voluminous ones at the same time. You can put sugar in the center of each piece if you wish.
Now you need to make envelopes using a new method. To do this, the circles are folded in half twice, and their semicircular edge is pinched with your fingers. All that remains is to put the envelopes in the oven for baking for 20 minutes, after coating them with yolk for shine.
You can make cottage cheese envelopes with sugar in another way. The recipe can be used to choose from any of the above. Just roll out the dough into a large circle. Next, it is cut into 8 equal parts, and each of these pieces is slightly cut from the narrow to the wide edge 3 more times. Sugar to taste is placed on the untouched part of the pieces. Next, you should fold the envelopes, placing the narrow edge under the wide part. You get these nice cottage cheese envelopes with sugar.
When we prepare a dish ourselves, we can always diversify it by adding other sweets to the filling along with sugar, for example, grated apple, a spoonful of condensed milk, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, cherries... Experiment, because this dessert cannot be spoiled!
