Puff pastry buns with cottage cheese and apple
Description
Homemade baking for tea. The buns come out crisp on the outside and soft inside. Use dry curd cheese (farmer’s cheese), because once you add egg and apples the filling can turn runny. If that happens, stir one teaspoon of starch into the filling. Sweet-tart apples work best; you can add ground cinnamon or a gingerbread spice blend. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
