Method

1. Mix cottage² cheese, 1 egg, half the sugar, a pinch of salt, and flour. Knead into a soft dough for 3–4 minutes.

2. Wet your hands and roll the dough into walnut-sized dumplings.

3. Drop the dumplings into boiling salted water and simmer gently for 3–4 minutes after they float. Scoop out with a slotted spoon.

4. Grease a baking dish with half the butter⁸, then place the dumplings inside. Spread thawed pitted sour⁶ cherries on top.

5. Mix sour⁶ cream, the remaining sugar, and vanilla sugar, then pour over the dumplings.

6. Dot the rest of the butter⁸ on top. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
