Servings: 8
Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) carton small-curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1 egg, beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
12 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon salt
melted butter or margarine (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine cottage cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 beaten egg; stir well, and set aside.
2. Combine flour, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; add 2 eggs, stirring well.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and divide into 8 equal portions; roll each portion into a ball. Roll each ball into a 4-inch square. Place 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in center of each square. Moisten edges with water; fold over to form a triangle. Press edges together with fork tines to seal.
4. Place turnovers, a few at a time, in boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt. Cook 12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent turnovers from sticking to bottom of pan. Drain on paper towels; serve with melted butter, if desired.
