Method of preparation
1
Preparing the dough
1.1
Take the butter out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for a few hours to soften
1.2
Sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt, as this will make the finished products softer and fluffier
1.3
Mash the softened butter with sugar using a fork, add the egg and sour cream, and beat until smooth
1.4
Add the flour with baking powder and knead the dough until it’s not too tight; it should be tender and soft
1.5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour
2
Moving on to the cottage cheese filling
2.1
Sift the cottage cheese through a sieve, add sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla sugar
2.2
Gradually stir in the flour; the mixture should become dense and homogeneous
2.3
Return to the dough: divide it into 8-9 portions. Roll out each portion into a ball and make a flat cake about 0.5 cm thick
2.4
Now, shape the sochni: place the cottage cheese mixture on one half of the flat cake and cover it with the other half of the dough. The pastry should resemble a slightly opened envelope
2.5
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the sochni on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with egg yolk
2.6
Bake the pastries for 25-30 minutes, until they turn golden brown. Sprinkle the finished pastries with powdered sugar and serve
