Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g Cottage cheese not too dry, not too wet
  • 2 Eggs
  • 6 tbsp Wheat flour plus extra for rolling
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 5 tbsp Sunflower oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Mash the cottage cheese with a fork until no coarse lumps remain. Beat in the eggs and add the sugar, mixing well.
  • Add the flour and mix well. Add a little more flour for thicker cheesecakes, or slightly less for softer ones. You should end up with a smooth, workable mixture.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the sunflower oil.
  • Dust a plate with flour. Shape 4-5 small balls from the mixture, roll each in flour, flatten into a small round and place in the pan.
  • Fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the underside, then flip and fry the other side.
  • Repeat until all the mixture is used. Serve warm with saffron-infused honey.

“Comfort food does not need to be complicated. It needs the right small details, done properly.”

Sari Safran saffron is grown and hand harvested in Armenia, directly sourced and fully traceable. Between 170 and 190 threads per 0.5g. Deep red, potent, and consistent across every batch — the detail that makes saffron honey worth making.
