Lazy Cheese Dumplings

• 1/2 lb/250 g cottage cheese well strained
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt
• sour cream (optional)

Mix the cheese with the yolks, add the flour, salt and whipped egg whites. Make a flattened roll, about two fingers thick. Spray a little flour on top and then cut in 1 1/2" thick pieces. Place these dumplings in boiling salt water and boil until they rise to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon, place on a plate and put some melted butter on them. Serve hot with or without sour cream.
