  • 100 grams (1 stick) soft butter
  • 200 ml. (1 cup) sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 500 grams (2 packs) ricotta cheese
  • 80 grams (1/3 cup) sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 30 grams (3 tbsp.) all-purpose flour
  • 100 grams white chocolate chips
  • 50 grams frozen berries optional
  • 1 beaten egg for brushing

Instructions

  1. Dough: in bowl of a mixer with a dough-hook put flour, yeast, sugar, butter, sour cream, egg, egg yolk, salt and vanilla.
  2. Knead the dough on low speed for 10-12 minutes, until flexible and quite soft.
  3. Cover and let rise until double in volume.
  4. Filling: in a medium bowl put ricotta, sugar and egg yolks and beat into a smooth mixture.
  5. Add vanilla, salt and flour and beat until blended.
  6. Keep the filling refrigerated until use.
  7. Divide the dough into two parts and roll out each part to about 28*28 cm square.
  8. Cut the dough into 16 squares about 7*7 cm in size.
  9. In the center of each square put about a teaspoon of the cheese mixture, sprinkle with chocolate chips and some berries and close the four edges into the center creating an envelope shape.
  10. Repeat the process (rolling, cutting into squares, filling and shaping) with the second part of the dough.
  11. Place the pastries on an oven pan lined with baking paper.
  12. Cover and let rise until almost doubled in volume.
  13. Preheat oven to 175c degrees.
  14. Gently brush the pastries with beaten egg and bake for about 13-17 minutes until golden.
  15. Cool slightly at room temperature, sprinkle some powdered sugar and serve.
