Step 1
1. Pass the cottage cheese through a meat grinder or rub it through a sieve. If there is little cottage cheese, you can use a potato masher, which works perfectly to make the curd mass smooth. Add soft butter, egg, and salt to the mixture.

5. Bring water to a boil in a pot or saucepan, add salt, then drop in the pieces of dough and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for another five minutes. Place the cooked dumplings onto a plate and top with sour cream. You can also add a little butter if desired.
