Vareniki with curd filling
We suggest making a dish from cottage cheese.These dumplings with kefir are prepared very quickly and your baby will surely love them. This recipe is easy to remember and even easier to implement. Ingredients: Dough:
- sifted flour - five glasses
- one large spoonful of soda
- one tablespoon of sugar
- egg - one piece
- two pinch of common salt
- 0.5 liters of kefir
Filling:
- fresh cottage cheese - 350 grams
- raisins - optional
- three tablespoons of sugar
Method of preparation:In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and one chicken egg. Then pour the flour, a little salt and a tablespoon of unslaked soda into a deep bowl, mix everything well, make a depression and pour in the warm kefir and egg-sugar mixture. Then knead the elastic dough with your hands. When finished, cover it with a clean towel and leave for a while (half an hour will be enough). The recipe for this filling can be slightly improved, for example, by replacing the cottage cheese with ready-made cottage cheese mass, which is sold in many stores. In addition, if desired, you can add raisins (just don’t forget to pour boiling water over them in advance so that they soften a little) or vanillin. So, let’s cook: using a fork, mash the cottage cheese with sugar until smooth. If the filling is too dry, add a couple of spoons of sour cream and mix well. Some sources also recommend using egg yolks, but in our time, when you can’t be completely sure of the quality of products, it’s better to refrain from this to avoid salmonella infection. But if you raise poultry and have home-made eggs, then why not? Place the finished dough on the kitchen table, sprinkled with flour, and roll it out into a thin pancake. Then take a cup or glass and cut out circles, put one and a half spoons of filling in the middle of each and pinch the edges. Collect the dough scraps, knead them with your hands and roll them out again with a rolling pin. Be a thrifty housewife! Boil the dumplings in boiling water, adding a little salt, or steam them. If you have too many products, put them in the freezer. Before serving, pour homemade sour cream over the dish or put a piece of butter. Many children love honey, so melt it in a double boiler and use as a sauce.

The next step is to prepare the filling. Finely chop fresh white cabbage, grate the carrots, and cut the onion into small cubes. Now put the first two ingredients in a hot frying pan with olive oil, add a couple of pinches of salt and cook, stirring regularly. After eight minutes, add the onion to the mixture.

Then cut them with a knife into medium pieces (about one and a half fingers thick) and roll them out. Put the filling in the resulting circles and pinch the edges with your fingers.
