• Pour the cottage cheese and egg into a bowl.

• Then, add the grated and processed cheese, and a little salt.

• Mix thoroughly and add flour. It’s best to add flour gradually and check the dough consistency at the seem time. You may need a little more or a little less flour, depending on the texture of the cottage cheese and size of the egg.

• You should end up with a quite dense and slightly sticky dough.

• Divide the dough into two parts. Dust the work surface with flour, roll out the dough into sausages and cut it into 1-cm-thick pieces. Boil the vareniki in salted water until done. Then, lay them on plates with a slotted spoon and put a piece of butter on top of each varenik. Serve the vareniki with sour cream and herbs.
