Step 1
1. The three main ingredients for making lazy vareniki are cottage cheese, egg, and flour. Mix them together, add a pinch of salt and sugar to taste, then knead the dough. If the cottage cheese is coarse, mash it with a fork or press it through a sieve. You can use cottage cheese of any fat content.

2. The dough doesn't take much flour. For the specified amount of cottage cheese, about one cup of flour is used. I knead it directly in the pot first, then on the table (it's also convenient to cut them there).

3. Divide the finished dough into equal parts. I ended up with 4 parts (I'll prepare 2 right away, and set aside the other 2 for later, placing them in the refrigerator).

4. Roll each portion into a long sausage, then cut it into small pieces. I cut the dough diagonally so that the finished lazy vareniki look aesthetically pleasing and unique.
