Instructions
 

The Preparation

  1. Gather the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, mix the 500 g Pressed Cottage cheese, 60 g semolina flour, 1 egg, 50 g sugar and 1/2 tsp. salt.
    Chef's Tip: If your pressed cottage cheese has excess liquid, place it on a plate, cover with another plate, and add a weight on top for a few minutes to drain.

  2. Mix until well combined. Use your hands. Let the mixture rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the excess moisture.
