Wareneki is a traditional Ukrainian dish that is often eaten for breakfast or as a snack. It is a type of dumpling that is made with a soft dough and stuffed with various fillings such as potatoes, cheese, or fruit. This recipe uses a simple filling of dry curd cottage cheese which is mixed with egg yolks and salt.

The dumplings are then boiled until they float to the surface and served hot. This recipe is a delicious and hearty breakfast option that is perfect for a cold morning.

Instructions

3.	In another mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg yolks, and salt.

5.	Put a spoonful of the cottage cheese mixture onto each circle, fold in half, and pinch the edges together to seal the dumplings.
