Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
Warm the Milk: Ensure the milk is warm (not hot). All other ingredients should be at room temperature.
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine warm milk, sour cream, salt, sugar, and yeast. Stir well.
Add Egg and Oil: Mix in the egg and vegetable oil until combined.
Incorporate Flour: Gradually sift in the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Be cautious not to add too much flour; adjust as needed based on the dough’s consistency.
Let it Rise: Cover the dough and place it in a warm area for about 40 minutes to rise.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, raisins, egg, and sugar to taste. You can also add starch for a thicker filling.
3. Shape the Pies
Divide the Dough: Once risen, divide the dough into small portions.
Roll Out: Roll each portion into a small circle. Brush with melted butter, add a spoonful of the cottage cheese filling, and fold into triangles.
4. Bake the Pies
Prepare Baking Dish: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and arrange the triangles inside. Cover and let them rest for an additional 20 minutes.
Add Topping: Brush the tops with butter or beaten yolk, then sprinkle with the crumb mixture (made by rubbing butter with flour and sugar).
Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the pies until golden brown.
