Golden yeast vatrushki with a delicate cottage cheese filling. Classic homemade pastry for tea.

Method

Mix the warm milk with the yeast and 1 tsp of sugar and leave for 10 minutes. Add 1 egg, salt, the melted butter and the flour and knead a soft dough.
Cover the dough and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Press the cottage cheese through a sieve and mix with the remaining sugar, the vanilla sugar and 1 egg until smooth.
Divide the dough into 8 balls and flatten into discs. Press a hollow into the center of each, leaving a 1 cm rim, and fill with the cottage cheese filling.
Leave the vatrushki on a baking sheet lined with parchment for 15 minutes, then brush the rims with the beaten third egg.
Bake at 180 °C for 15–20 minutes until the rims are golden.
