Lazy Breakfast
Breakfast for the lazy
Ingredients · Servings 3
- Chicken egg, 1 piece
- Soft cottage cheese, 200 g
- Wheat flour, 30 g
- Sugar, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Method · 15 min
- Place the cottage cheese in a wide bowl, add the egg, sugar, and flour, and mix with a fork until smooth. If the mixture is too sticky, add more flour, but no more than half a tablespoon.
- Sprinkle a little flour on the surface and spread the curd mixture on it. Divide into two equal parts and roll each into sausages of equal thickness.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sausages into small, equal pieces. If desired, you can then slightly flatten each piece to give it a round shape.
- Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Carefully lower the vareniki into the boiling water one by one. Cook, stirring gently with a slotted spoon, until all the vareniki float to the surface, plus another minute.
- Transfer the finished vareniki from the pan to plates and top with jam, such as apricot jam. Serve hot or warm.
Lazy vareniki are like dumplings, only sweet and with a distinct flavor. They take no longer to prepare than any porridge, and unlike any porridge, they don't make you feel despondent in the morning. They can be served with your favorite jam, homemade marmalade, sour cream, or any syrup. Or you can simply drizzle them with melted butter—it'll still be delicious.
