To prepare 14 pieces, you will need a certain amount of ingredients. The dough is prepared from:

• 230-250 grams of flour;
• 125ml water;

The filling is prepared from:

• 200 grams of cottage cheese;

• pinches of suneli hops;
• pinches of pepper;
• 2 tbsp. l. butter (1 tbsp. for onion and 1 tbsp. - for watering when serving).

Step cooking

They work like this:

1. Make lean dough (cool), knead for 10 minutes. As a result, you should get enough buns of a dense consistency. It is covered with a napkin and set aside.
2. The filling should be quite liquid. This is necessary so that it can literally be poured in 2 tsp. in every kurze. First, chopped onion heads and garlic cloves are fried in butter, then green onions (one bunch) are added to them, mixed and removed from heat. Then the mass is added to the curd. Next, eggs are driven into the curd, seasoned and mixed thoroughly.
3. The dough is formed into a sausage, which is cut into 7 pieces.
4. The first ball is rolled into a cake up to 2 mm thick and the size of a saucer. The remaining pieces should be hidden under the lid or in a bag so that they do not become weathered.
5. The rolled out cake is divided in half, each half is also folded in half. Tightly pinch from one edge and mold a "rope" or "pigtail". The resulting triangle is filled with a semi-liquid filling, pinched from the second edge and again make a “pigtail” (“rope”).
6. Dip molded products in boiling water (s alted) in batches, making sure that they do not stick to the bottom. Cook until done over medium heat (as a result, kurze should not lose shape, but only slightly increase).

We take out the finished products on a plate and pour butter (melted) on top. According to reviews, the dish is very satisfying and tasty. Three kurze is enough for one serving.

The rest can then be fried. Many people like them even more.
