Servings 8 pieces
Calories 149kcal
Ingredients
- 250 g cottage cheese
- 200 g plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 small chicken sausages – or ordinary hot dog sausages
- Beaten egg, for brushing
- A little sesame seed (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth in a mini chopper or similar.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cottage cheese in a bowl and stir together with a spatula until the dough gathers into small clumps.
- Tip it out onto the worktop, bring the dough together with your hands and knead it briefly until all the clumps are worked into the dough.
- Roll the dough into a ball and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a log roughly the same length as the sausages. Press a finger down along the middle of the dough to make a groove, lay the sausage in it and shape the dough around the sausage. Pinch the seam together firmly.Set aside on a baking tray lined with baking paper, seam-side down.
- Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds or similar if you like, then bake in a preheated oven at 200°C, conventional oven (top and bottom heat), for about 20-22 minutes – or until golden and baked through.
- Store them in an airtight bag in the fridge, or freeze them and take out as needed.
