    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    2

    Cut in the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sugar and one egg. Knead until a smooth dough forms.

    3

    Roll out the dough and use it to line a greased baking pan.

    4

    In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, vanilla sugar, sour cream, grated lemon zest, and the remaining egg.

    5

    Spread the cottage cheese filling evenly over the dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

    6

    Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
