Description

Quick Cottage Cheese Buns are soft, fluffy buns made with full-fat small curd cottage cheese, lightly sweetened and delicately flavored with vanilla. These buns are perfect for breakfast or snacks, baked until golden brown with a slightly crunchy sugary top. They are easy to prepare and can be stored fresh for later enjoyment.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup cottage cheese (small curd, full fat)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla flavoring
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 4 cup flour

Topping

  • 1 egg (to brush the tops)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (to sprinkle on tops)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Mixture: Combine cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a blender, mixer, or food processor. Blend well until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.
  2. Add Leavening Agents: In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with white vinegar and add this to the blended mixture. Then add the baking powder and gradually incorporate the flour until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead and Divide Dough: Flour your work surface generously to prevent sticking. Pour the dough onto the surface and divide it into 24 equal portions for uniform buns.
  4. Shape and Prepare for Baking: Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on a baking sheet, spaced apart. Brush each bun top with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with sugar to create a crispy, sweet crust when baked.
  5. Bake the Buns: Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • You can use either a food processor, blender, or electric mixer to combine the wet ingredients smoothly.
  • Ensure the baking soda is fully reacted with vinegar before adding to the mixture for proper leavening.
  • If the dough feels too sticky, lightly flour your hands while shaping the buns but avoid adding excess flour to keep buns soft.
  • Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the buns as they approach the 20-minute mark.
  • These buns can be stored for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature or frozen for longer storage.
