Italian soffioni cakes: how to cook this exquisite dessert correctly
Italy is a country not only of fine wine and pizza, but also of delicious desserts. One of these is the soffioni pastry. They are based on cocoa-flavored dough and a delicate cottage cheese filling. The highlight of such pastries is the unusual shape.
The idea of making Italian soffioni cakes is published on the page of food bloggerp Valeria Demenchuk(mrs.demenchuk) in Instagram. Place the cottage cheese filling in the dough squares and wrap each corner. After baking, the middle has a nice brown color and crispy texture.

1. For the dough, beat 2 eggs with sugar and salt for about 7 minutes. Add the melted butter and mix. Sift half of the flour, mix, add what is left and knead the dough with your hands. If the dough is very sticky to your hands, add a little more flour. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and put it in the fridge for 20 minutes.
