Step 1
Place the cottage cheese into a bowl. My cottage cheese is store-bought, relatively grainy and a bit dry. This is exactly the kind we need. Cottage cheese spread or paste won't work. I used 9% fat cottage cheese, but you can use a lower fat percentage as well.

Step 2
Add sugar, eggs, vanillin or vanilla sugar, and baking powder to the cottage cheese. Mix everything with a whisk or mixer until smooth. Sift in the flour last. Knead the dough. Don't be surprised if it's sticky and viscous—this is how it should be.

Step 3
Add the finely chopped dried apricots and mix everything together.

Step 4
Be sure to use wet hands to take a portion of the dough in your palm. Divide the entire amount of dough into 10–15 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the buns with egg yolk or milk for a nice crust.

Step 5
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Bake the buns in the hot oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown. These yeast-free sugar buns are now ready.
