Vatrushka
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. You can make “Lakomka” vatrushki literally in no time. Vatrushki from this recipe are the lazy take on traditional baking. A quick dough and easy shaping make the process pleasant, and children will be happy to help you. The cottage cheese treats turn out tender and very tasty, and with no baking soda or baking powder in the recipe, the dough gets a slight layered effect. With tea, milk, or cocoa, they disappear to cheers. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
