Kefir cottage cheese pie
Description
Perfect with tea or coffee. You may need a little more or a little less flour for the dough, but go by the final consistency — the dough should be like low-fat sour cream. The same goes for the cottage cheese filling: you may need more or less flour — when done, the filling should hold together into neat balls. Serve with tea or coffee.
