Ingredients
- cottage cheese - 400 g;
- salt - a pinch;
- sugar - 2 tbsp;
- starch - 1 tbsp;
- semolina - 2 tbsp;
- sour cream 1 tbsp. (if the cottage cheese is dry);
- wheat flour - 2 tbsp. into the dough + 1.5 tbsp. for powder.
Preparation
Place the cottage cheese in a bowl (preferably a deep one) in which you will knead the dough. Grind the cottage cheese through a sieve, thanks to this you will get a more homogeneous curd mass without grains. Add the required amount of sugar and salt to the bowl, mix everything with a spoon or silicone spatula. Cottage cheese can be used as medium-fat or low-fat.
On a note: If the cottage cheese is very dry, add a little sour cream or homemade yogurt.
Add semolina to the cottage cheese, as well as starch (you can use corn or potato). Stir the curd mass until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
Wheat flour must be sifted through a strainer, then added in portions to the curd mass. At the same time, continue stirring everything with a spoon or spatula.
Then place the resulting mass on a board dusted with flour. Knead the dough with your hands until it is dense and does not stick to your hands. If necessary, add flour.
Divide the curd dough into four parts, then roll each into oblong ropes.

Advice: Dumplings can also be frozen. To do this, place the products on a board, cover them with cling film, then put them in the freezer. At any convenient time you can prepare a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Boil water in a saucepan and lightly salt it. Place the curd balls into the boiling liquid. Stir the contents of the pan so that the dumplings do not stick to the bottom. Cook them for 4-6 minutes after boiling.

Many people love dumplings, but not many love and know how to cook them. The main thing that scares me is the time during which the dumplings are molded - it does not happen very quickly. But any dumplings are eaten very quickly. What to do when you really want to taste a portion of dumplings, but there is no time (or no desire) to prepare a concoction for this in the kitchen. There is usually a way out in any situation. It’s not for nothing that laziness is called the “engine of progress”; if laziness did not exist on the planet, then there would be no dish now that could replace ordinary dumplings. Instead of standard full-fledged dumplings, you can easily treat yourself to a simplified variation of this dish. Simpler does not mean tasteless.
Help out and saturate
Lazy dumplings - this is the name of the dish that we will prepare today. And they have their fans. By the way, they will not be quite familiar: let’s look at recipe options for making lazy dumplings without eggs. We will also study a recipe in which the dish does not require cottage cheese. At the same time, we will learn how to cook them from potatoes, with the addition of cheese.
Dish without eggs
When might it be necessary to cook dishes without eggs? Is it possible to make lazy dumplings without this ingredient at all? Will the finished dish fall apart and spoil the whole mood? There is only one answer - you can! Nothing will spoil or fall apart. Many people use only formulations that do not contain eggs, due to the fact that they have an allergic reaction to this product.
Who will benefit from the recipes?
Lazy eggless dumplings often appear on the dinner table of such sensitive people. Accordingly, if the recipes are many dozens, or even hundreds, of years old, they have proven themselves in the best way and have become a permanent and familiar part of their family dinner.
The absence of this ingredient in the process of preparing a dish can be more banal - they forgot to buy eggs upon returning home.
For vegans
Adherents of vegetarian cuisine will most likely also be able to appreciate the recipe for lazy dumplings without eggs from cottage cheese, using new ingredients. Dumplings can be made not only with cottage cheese, with the addition of semolina or mashed potatoes - they also turn out quite tasty. But let’s begin our culinary experiments with a classic cooking recipe.
With cottage cheese
Before you go eggless, look around your cupboards and refrigerator for the following ingredients:
- 700 grams of product is also perfect.
- Flour - 200 grams. You may need a slightly smaller or, conversely, larger amount, this will depend on the stickiness of the flour.
- Add salt and sugar to taste.
Cooking process
Choose the right pan for preparing dumplings: the vessel itself should be half filled with water. During the cooking process, you will need a reserve so that the water with dumplings does not come too close to the edge of the pan when filling.
Fill the pan with water and, after salting it, place it on the stove. While you are waiting for it to boil, don’t waste time and start implementing the recipe for lazy dumplings without eggs.
Mash the cottage cheese in a bowl. It will be convenient to do this using a fork. While preparing the curd mass, add a pinch of salt and sugar to taste.
In small portions, gradually add flour to the cottage cheese and mix the ingredients. You should get a fairly strong, but very plastic mass from which the dumplings will consist.
How to form lazy dumplings
When the dough becomes the way we need it, roll it into a sausage on a cutting surface previously dusted with flour. Two to three centimeters in diameter will be enough to ensure that the dumplings after cooking are not too small and not too huge. Due to their diameter, they will cook all the way to the middle and will not be soggy inside.
The second step in forming lazy dumplings without eggs is to divide the resulting roll of dough into 1-centimeter-long pieces.
Cooking dumplings
By this time, the water in the pan has already begun to boil, and this is the time to put all the resulting preparations into boiling water. Carefully lower them into boiling water so that splashes do not harm you. When all the semi-finished products are in boiling water, stir them with a slotted spoon, separating them from the bottom of the dish to avoid burning.
After four to five minutes, lazy dumplings without eggs will float to the surface of the pan - this is a sign that you can taste the dish. Using a slotted spoon, remove all the products from the pan and serve, pouring with vegetable oil. Butter is perfect for serving any type of lazy dumplings. If the dish was prepared with sugar, you can safely use jam, jam or honey.
Lazy dumplings with cheese and potatoes
These dumplings are not only delicious, they are a very successful way to rehabilitate the mashed potatoes left over from yesterday's lunch.
To prepare unsweetened lazy dumplings without eggs, we will need:
- mashed potatoes - one kilogram;
- flour - 300 grams;
- cheese - 100 grams;
- salt and pepper - to taste.
How to cook
Grate the cheese on a fine grater and mix it with mashed potatoes. If necessary, add salt and pepper. Gradually stirring, add flour in small portions. Distribute the flour carefully to avoid the formation of tasteless flour lumps.
We turn the resulting plastic dough into a rope with a diameter of one or two centimeters. We cut the tourniquet into many pieces, the length of which is approximately 1 centimeter. Carefully roll each resulting semi-finished product in flour.
Boil water in a saucepan, salt it and put our dumplings in the boiling water. We make sure that they are not crowded in the pan, and that they do not all stick together into a solid lump.
Let's keep them in moderately boiling water for a minute, after all the lazy dumplings without eggs are on the surface of the water.
Remove the finished dumplings with a slotted spoon onto plates and serve with butter or sour cream. You can also add onions fried in oil to the finished dish. These dumplings go well with pickled vegetables and all kinds of unsweetened sauces.
With cottage cheese and semolina
Thanks to semolina and starch, which are part of the dough for these dumplings, the dish has a delicate, airy consistency and a rather interesting taste. These lazy dumplings will be a wonderful dessert if you cook them.
To do this you need the following products:
- two hundred and fifty grams of cottage cheese;
- semolina - forty grams;
- sugar - 1-2 tablespoons;
- three quarters of a tablespoon of starch;
- half a teaspoon of salt.
And as in all previous cases, first fill the pan with water (1 liter) and place it on the stove so that the water boils. Also, don’t forget to salt the water for the dumplings. While the water is coming, we will prepare a plastic base for lazy dumplings.
Finely crush the cottage cheese with a blender or rub it through a sieve. In a deep bowl, mix cottage cheese, salt and sugar. Add starch to the resulting mixture and add all the semolina specified in the recipe. After introducing these ingredients, the dough will become dense and can be kneaded with your hands.
We pinch off the dough from the common layer. Roll the piece into a ball with a diameter of one and a half centimeters and place the ball on a board sprinkled with flour. We continue until the entire amount of dough turns into neat, identical balls.
Most likely, by the end of this lesson, the water has boiled, and it’s time to begin the actual preparation of lazy dumplings from semolina and cottage cheese, namely, boil them in boiling water.
Pour the dough balls into the pan and, using a slotted spoon or spatula, separate them from the bottom of the pan so that they do not stick. Dumplings should be cooked over moderate heat. As soon as they rise to the surface, wait two to three minutes and take them out onto a plate. This can be done in two ways: use a slotted spoon or simply drain the water from the pan. You can serve the finished dish with melted butter, condensed milk, confiture and other sweet additives.
Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Add a small portion of sifted flour.
Then add the remaining flour in small portions. It also needs to be sifted.
After each addition of flour, the dough must be thoroughly, slowly mixed with a silicone spatula (or spoon).
When the dough becomes thick enough and difficult to knead with a spatula, dust the counter with flour and place the dough on it.
Continue kneading the dough on the table. It will absorb all the flour and stop sticking to both your hands and the work surface.
Continue kneading for another 5-7 minutes.
Then pour vegetable oil into the dough.
Continue kneading for another 3-4 minutes. The dough will become tender, manageable and pleasant to the touch.
Cover the dough with a napkin and leave for 15 minutes to rest.
The dough prepared in water according to this recipe is very pliable. It's easy and pleasant to work with him. When cooked, dumplings do not lose their shape, do not become overcooked and have a great taste. They go perfectly with homemade sour cream.
Bon appetit! Cook with love!
Sometimes it's time to experiment in the kitchen, and there can be many reasons for this. For example, you are expecting a group of vegan friends to visit. A relative has an egg allergy. Finally, Orthodox Lent is approaching. And in general, your desire to go off the beaten path and please yourself and your loved ones with something new is enough. Therefore, such a recipe can become very relevant - we are talking about dough for dumplings without eggs.
Some people find the classic dough a bit harsh - they would like it to be softer and more elastic, and to roll out well, others just want to save on ingredients, and still others really like the pleasant taste. We will look at different ways of cooking without eggs, including some not quite ordinary ones. All you have to do is choose the one that you like the most.

To do this, you need to use the “Dumplings”, or “Pizza”, or “Dough Kneading” option (depending on your model), pour in salted water and oil, and sift the flour on top.
