Made with full-fat cottage cheese and a simple blend of pantry ingredients, they bake to a golden brown and have a delightful texture.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese (small curd, full fat)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 egg (for brushing the tops)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for sprinkling on tops)

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 4 eggs, and vanilla extract in a blender, mixer, or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined, ensuring the cottage cheese is fully incorporated into the mixture.
  2. Add Leavening Agents: In a small bowl, mix the baking soda with the white vinegar to activate it. Immediately add this mixture to the blended wet ingredients. Then, add baking powder and gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Prepare Dough: Flour your work surface generously as the dough will be sticky. Transfer the dough onto the floured surface and handle carefully to avoid sticking.
  4. Shape Buns: Divide the dough evenly into 24 pieces. Roll each piece into a round bun shape and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet to allow room for rising and baking.
  5. Brush and Sprinkle Toppings: Beat the remaining egg and brush the tops of each bun to give them a shiny finish. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar evenly over the tops for a sweet crust.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the buns for approximately 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool completely to room temperature before serving. To keep leftovers fresh, seal them in an airtight container and store at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure to flour the work surface well to manage sticky dough.
  • Use full-fat, small curd cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Brush buns with egg to achieve a glossy finish and better sugar adhesion.
  • Baking soda reacts with vinegar to help the buns rise and become airy.
  • Store buns in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
