Hungarian Cottage Cheese Dumplings (Túrógombóc)

🧾 Ingredients:

• 250 g cottage cheese (túró)
• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp semolina
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 100 g breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp butter

• Sour cream (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, eggs, semolina, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
2. Let the mixture rest for 20–30 minutes so the semolina absorbs moisture.
3. Shape into small balls with wet hands.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the dumplings for 5–7 minutes until they float.
5. In a pan, melt butter and toast the breadcrumbs until golden.
6. Roll the cooked dumplings in the toasted breadcrumbs.
7. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and optionally topped with sour cream.
