Sochniki
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. To make the sochniki tender, do not knead the dough for too long. It will tighten and become tough after baking. Also, be sure to chill the dough in the refrigerator. It is better not to prepare the filling in advance so that the cottage cheese does not release liquid. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
