Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small curd, full fat)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 4 cup flour

Topping

  • 1 egg (to brush the tops)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (to sprinkle on tops)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Combine together cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend using a blender, mixer, or a food processor until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Leavening Agents: In a small bowl, mix baking soda with white vinegar until it foams, then add this mixture to the batter. Next, add baking powder and gradually incorporate flour until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Divide the Dough: Generously flour your work surface to handle the sticky dough. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces for even-sized buns.
  4. Shape the Buns: Shape each piece into a round bun and place them apart from each other on a baking sheet to allow for expansion during baking.
  5. Apply Topping: Brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg for a glossy finish, then sprinkle with sugar to add a sweet, crunchy crust.
  6. Bake: Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Cool and Store: Allow the buns to cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use full-fat small curd cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to flour the surface well to manage the sticky dough effectively.
  • The combination of baking soda and vinegar helps the buns rise and become fluffy.
  • Brush the buns with egg to achieve a shiny and appetizing crust.
  • Cool the buns completely before storing to avoid moisture buildup inside the container.
  • These buns are best consumed within 2-3 days when stored properly.
