1. Half of the declared weight of sift the flour into a mixing dough.
2. Making the flour well, divide it into egg and pour ice water.
3. Knead the dough. Do not be scared ahead of time that it turned sticky - we still have in stock the second portion of the flour. But first, add oil and salt finely ground. Hands also lubricates the small amount of oil. Having the batter, starting gradually introduce flour residue. For 5-7 minutes, carefully knead the dough. If it sticks to the hands after kneading, add a few pinches of flour: nothing can be done, each manufacturer of flour with its own characteristics.
4. The dough is rolled into a ball, ship in a bowl, cover with cling film and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Prepare stuffing 5 minutes before the dough is removed from the refrigerator. Since the cheese in my country and bold enough, it will not add the butter. But if you have dry cottage cheese, I recommend still add just a tablespoon of melted butter.
By the curd add sugar, vanilla and egg white (yolk us in the stuffing is not required). For uniformity shred filling it in a blender or wipe curd through a fine sieve.
6. The dough is ready. We extract it, sprinkle the table with flour and roll out.

It remained for the small - to cook dumplings. They can be traditionally cook, and you can then in a frying pan. The second option seemed a more tempting.
