Step 4
Mix a quarter cup of sugar with the egg, cottage cheese, chopped butter, flour, and neutralized baking soda with vinegar. Add the flour gradually, kneading until you get an elastic dough that can be rolled out. Divide the dough into 8 parts, roll each part out, and fry on a skillet on both sides until golden brown.

Step 6
The cake doesn't need to be soaked for long—just 30 minutes is enough, since the layers made with butter and cottage cheese won't be dry. Try this cake served with tea.
