Equipment
- 1 Soup Pot
Ingredients
- 500 g cottage cheese dry
- 3 tbsp semolina
- 3 tbsp wheat flour
- 2 pieces eggs large size
- ½ tsp sea salt kosher
- 1 piece lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 tsp sugar granulated
Breadcrumbs Cover
- 150 g breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tbsp sugar granulated
Vanilla Sauce
- 4 tbsp creme Fraiche or sour creme
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Put the cheese in a bowl and with a fork, break it, so that it is as small as possible. Add wheat flour, semolina, lemon peel, sea salt, sugar, vanilla and egg yolks from the two eggs. Mix with a spoon or a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are homogeneous and we get a kind of cheese paste.
- Separately, in another bowl mix the egg whites, using an electric mixer, until you get foam. Once we have obtained the foam, pour it over the cheese and mix it lightly with a spoon until all the foam is incorporated in the cheese and we obtain an airy, light composition. Put the composition in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes,
- Fry the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan, without adding oil or butter, and fry over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and taking care not to burn. After the breadcrumbs have taken on a copper colour, turn off the heat and add a tablespoon of sunflower oil and a tablespoon of sugar.
- Boil the water in a pot then reduce the temperature to medium-low. With wet palms, make balls of cheese paste, the size of a golf ball, and put them in the pot to boil.
- Boil the dumplings until they rise to the surface plus two more minutes (in total between 3-5 minutes) after which we take them out and put them over the fried breadcrumbs.
- Lightly roll the dumplings in breadcrumbs so that they are completely covered with it and take them out in a serving bowl. Continue the operation until we finish with the whole amount of cheese paste.
- Mix the cream Fraiche with the other ingredients, the sugar, vanilla and cinnamon and we will get a sweet and very fragrant cream with which we will serve the dumplings.
- Serve the cottage cheese dumplings while they are hot, powdered with sugar and with this cream with vanilla or sour cream next to or on top.
