Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups flour
- 100g butter
- 100g cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Filling: jam of your choice
Instructions:
- Melt the butter and let it cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and sugar, then add the egg and cooled melted butter, mixing well.
- Sift the flour with baking powder and baking soda into the wet ingredients. Knead until the dough forms a uniform mass.
- Roll out the dough into a circle and cut it into pizza-like triangles. Place a dollop of jam on the wider end of each triangle, then roll towards the point, tucking the ends inward.
- Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 347°F (175°C) for about 17-20 minutes until golden.
