Cottage Cheese Patties and Dumplings (Keto-friendly)

INGREDIENTS:

• 200 g dry cottage cheese (farmer’s cheese OK) 
• 1 egg
• pinch of salt
• stevia to taste (optional)
• 2 tsp arrowroot flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour

DOUGH PREPARATION:

1. Using a fork, mix dry cottage cheese, egg, stevia, and salt.
2. Mix in arrowroot flour and coconut flour.

PATTIES COOKING:

1. Using hands, divide dough to 8 pieces for patties
2. Shape round patties.
3. On medium to slow heat, add ghee or oil to a frying pan, bake patties on both sides.

Serve with sour cream or with a cup of coffee or tea.

DUMPLINGS COOKING:

1. Using hands, divide dough to 12 pieces.
2. Shape oval dumplings.
3. Using a spoon, carefully immerse each dumpling into a slowly boiling water in a pot on medium heat.
4. Wait until dumplings emerge, reduce heat, cook for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon (skimmer).

If you did not add stevia to dough, you may sprinkle dumplings with xylitol (if you like sweets like me 🙂

NOTES:

For this recipe, I’ve used unsalted homemade dry cottage cheese (made from organic whole milk), (I’ll post this recipe later). For this reason, I could not find exact nutritional information for this entire recipe, that would be very benefitial for Ketogenic dieters.

For those not on Ketogenic diet, you may use 3 tbsp of white flour instead of arrowroot and coconut flours combined.
