Step 1
It is very important to choose the right cottage cheese for the filling, as it is the main ingredient and much depends on it. It's best to use homemade cottage cheese—not dry, but not too fatty either. Place the cottage cheese in a bowl with high sides.

Step 3
Take the butter out of the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for a while until it becomes soft. Add the butter to the cottage cheese filling and mix thoroughly. If you are making sweet dumplings, add powdered sugar to taste. Store the filling in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours, or preferably use it immediately after preparation.
