- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
- Servings: Not specified
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup cream-style cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Grease Baking Pan: Take a 9-inch square baking pan and generously grease it to prevent the casserole from sticking.
-
Prepare Flour Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, 1/2 cup of butter (softened), and white sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Milk: Once the dry ingredients are mixed, add in 2 eggs and 3/4 cup of milk. Stir the mixture until it forms a smooth batter. Set it aside for the moment.
-
Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the cream-style cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter (melted), 1 egg, sour cream, and salt. Blend the ingredients thoroughly to create a creamy, uniform mixture.
-
Layering: Take the greased baking dish and spread half of the flour mixture evenly across the bottom.
-
Add Cottage Cheese Mixture: Next, spread the prepared cottage cheese mixture over the layer of flour mixture in the baking dish, ensuring even coverage.
-
Top with Remaining Flour Mixture: Once the cottage cheese layer is in place, carefully spoon the remaining half of the flour mixture over the top, covering the cottage cheese layer completely.
-
Bake: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up and golden brown on top.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Then, cut it into squares using a sharp knife and serve warm.
