Classic vatrushki
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. For making vatrushka dough, you can replace butter with margarine, but it's less healthy. It would be better if you reduce the amount of butter to 100 grams and add a little more vegetable oil (4-5 tablespoons).

Step 7
Prepare the cottage cheese filling for the vatrushkas. Mix the cottage cheese with egg white, sugar, and vanilla. Simply stir everything together with a fork. I'm using paste-like cottage cheese. If you're using homemade cottage cheese, first rub it through a fine sieve.

Transfer the prepared dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place a small amount of the cottage cheese mixture into each indentation. Soak the raisins in water (cover with water and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes). Place a few raisins on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
