This dish represents traditional Hungarian cuisine and can easily become a family favorite. The crumbly, soft dough and the freshness of the cottage cheese come together in a mouth-watering bite, which can be served for breakfast, snack or even as a welcome bite.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, and egg. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the dough and cut out scones using a cookie cutter.
