Curd shortbread dough

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make curd shortbread dough? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Combine butter and cottage cheese in one bowl. The butter must first be removed from the refrigerator and allowed to sit at room temperature until it softens. If the cottage cheese is grainy, rub through a sieve or punch with a submersible blender. You will learn all the subtleties of choosing cottage cheese and preparing shortcrust pastry by reading the articles at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour with baking powder, add a pinch of salt and mix. How and when you can replace baking powder in the dough, read a separate article at the end of this recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mash the cottage cheese and butter well into a plastic mass.

4. STEP 4

   

   Start kneading with a fork and then continue with your hands.

5. STEP 5

   

   Start adding the flour mixture to the curd and butter mixture and knead the dough. You may need a little less or more flour, check the consistency. Read more about the properties of flour in the article below the steps.

6. STEP 6

   

   Form a ball of curd-sand dough and place it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes, while covering it with cling film.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator, place it on a floured table and begin shaping the products.

8. STEP 8

   

   Before rolling, divide the dough into 2 or 3 parts and roll them out separately. This will make it easier to work with the test.

9. STEP 9

   

   It is best to prepare cookies or a pie with filling from chilled curd-shortbread dough, rolling out the dough with a rolling pin to the desired thickness. For example, for “Houndstooth” or “Handkerchief” cookies, you need to roll out thinly, about 2 mm.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut out circles from the rolled out dough.

11. STEP 11

    

    Dip one side of the circles into sugar and fold 4 times to form triangles.

12. STEP 12

    

    From the open edge on each triangle you can make an incision, forming a “foot”.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the dough products on a greased baking sheet.

14. STEP 14

    

    The baking time for cookies from classic curd and shortbread dough in the oven at 180 degrees is 25-30 minutes. Times are approximate. Always focus on the operating features of your oven.

I was looking for a good recipe for cottage cheese dough for making buns. And I found it! Unfortunately, my child does not eat cottage cheese raw, but he loves buns. I decided to hide cottage cheese in the dough thanks to this recipe. First, I ground the cottage cheese through a fine sieve. I kneaded the soft and tender curd shortbread dough very easily and quickly, following the detailed steps of the recipe. Refrigerated dough is very easy to work with. I rolled it out thinly, coated it with grated apple filling with lemon juice and sugar, rolled it up and cut it into pieces. I baked the buns for half an hour at 180 C. The curd shortbread dough turned out soft and very tasty. The child happily gobbled up the cottage cheese buns with an apple, not even knowing that he was eating cottage cheese) to make the buns look nice, she sprinkled them with powdered sugar. The adults were also pleased! A wonderful recipe for sugar-free cottage cheese dough! Very good dough! Thanks to the author!

I tried these cookies once and fell in love with them! But no matter how much I try to cook it myself, everything is not the same, there is no fluffiness and crispiness, there is no melting in the mouth! Even though they gave me the original recipe without baking powder, I’ve already made it with it, it still turns out oaky, and the next day it’s a complete mess! I'll try to bake it following your steps. Question: what kind of device is this three-tiered?
