Ingredients
- 1 pound cottage cheese
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus ½ cup for lining parchment paper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of butter, for dotting on hot lidnivikis
- 1 cup sour cream, for serving
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 2 large baking trays, set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl combine cottage cheese, eggs, 1 cup flour and baking powder. Mix just until combined.
Step 3
Sprinkle the center, lengthwise, of a long sheet of parchment paper with remaining ½ cup flour. Pour batter on top of flour in a line.
Step 4
Roll sides of parchment back and forth to create a flour covered log of batter until it's about 14 to 18" long. Dough/log will be soft.
Step 5
Cut dough log into rough 1 ½-inch pieces and gently place on buttered sheet tray.
Step 6
Bake until set, about 20 minutes.
Step 7
Just out of the oven, dot lidnivikis with butter and serve warm with sour cream.
*note from Jenn: this recipe could use a bit of salt for my taste, but my grandmother made it just the way it is written above.
