PASTRY:
3 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. water
4 egg yolks

FILLING:
1 c. dry cottage cheese
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 c. mashed potatoes (heaping)
Chives or onions (opt.)
3/4 c. sour cream

Sift flour into salt, forming a mound. Make a well and add egg yolks and sour cream. Knead until flour is mixed in. Flour the board well. Roll about 1/3 of the mixture out to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut rounds with a 3-inch or larger cutter. Put a tablespoon of filling in the center of each round. Fold in half and seal edges. Dip in boiling water. Boil about 5 minutes. Remove and serve with baked onions and bacon, butter and sour cream.
