Instructions
- First, Grab a small mixing bowl, pour in some milk (lukewarm), add in the yeast, cover it and leave it for a few minutes until you prepare the rest of the dough.

- In a large mixing bowl, mix the ingredients for the cream (sugar, powdered vanilla sugar, cottage cheese, lemon peel, sour cream, egg, semolina); let it rest for a few minutes so the semolina will rise and soften the cream.
- Grab a large wooden board or a large cutting board, and sprinkle it with some flour so the dough won't stick. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1 cm (0.3 inches), and cut it into medium-sized thin cubes.
