Hi guys! Welcome to another episode of Alla's Yummy Food.
Today I'll be making something really easy and very tasty.
It's lazy vareniki.
Now, vareniki has been such a popular dish
and such a popular video on my channel,
so this is a very quick recipe.
They taste amazing. They're not similar,
but they're very, very yummy, very quick,
and kids absolutely love this dish as well, so let's get started.
So the first thing we're gonna do is take a large bowl.
All the ingredients will be listed below.
This is one pack of cottage cheese,
now it's a very smooth one, if you have a dry one then
I would recommend going through a sieve
to make it very smooth like this or just put
it in a blender.
Then we're going to add two eggs,
I've got very melted temperature room butter and some
sugar and I'm just going
to mix it all together now.
It's nice and runny consistency
and now I'm just going to add my flour just to make it
To make it harder, I'll leave a little bit
and just mix it in together again.
Okay, then the second step is to prepare our board.
Take the mixture and I just like to make it look like a long sausage.
I've floured my board as well. It's very sticky.
Once you've
rolled out
your dough balls
or lazy vareniki,
you can use any shapes as you like.
I've made them into little balls.
I've prepared a large pan with hot boiling water with a bit of salt
and we're going to boil them for a couple
of minutes until they come up.
Oh dear, we just dropped them in there.
They're very delicate, so I'm preheating my oven to 180 degrees because
I like to also bake them for about 5 minutes in sour cream and sugar.
You don't have to do that.
They're perfectly fine to eat just with sour cream.
As you can see, they're all done now.
Place them like this in here.
Sprinkle a bit of sugar.
Like I said, it's optional.
Quite
sweet.
They smell so good, they look really really funny and you know,
it's just they taste so good, I've already tried one.
So I like to also eat them with jam,
I have a very sweet tooth.
Wow they're so good, they taste almost like mini doughnuts
but with cottage cheese, you can see.
The dough is very soft.
It's not very sweet, but that's why I like to add sugar and jam.
If you like them savory,
you can always add a bit of salt and enjoy them that way as well.
Guys, I really, really hope you try these.
Please let me know in the comments below if you have.
Also tag me on Instagram with all your photos of food that you make.
