- egg1 pcs
- sugar2 tbsp
- salt1 to taste
- semolina2 tbsp
- wheat flour80 g
- butter30 g
- sour cream100 g

Instructions
Push the cottage cheese through a sieve or mash it thoroughly with a fork until smooth and free of lumps.
Add the egg, sugar and a pinch of salt, and mix well.
Stir in the semolina, mix into the cheese mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes so the semolina can swell.
Add flour in small portions and knead a soft, slightly sticky dough.
With wet hands, shape the dough into small balls about the size of a walnut (roughly 1 tbsp of dough per ball).
Drop the dumplings into salted boiling water, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes after they float to the surface.
Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon, let them drain, place on a plate, drizzle with melted butter and serve with sour cream, honey or fresh berries to taste.
