- Step 1
For the dough: In bowl of an electric mixer, combine yeast and milk and allow to sit for a few minutes. Stir in eggs, butter, sour cream, sugar, salt and flour. Mix well until dough turns into a ball. Transfer to a covered container and allow to rest for 30 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.
- Step 2
For the filling: In bowl of an electric mixer, combine farmer's cheese, sour cream, sugar, flour, vanilla, egg yolk and lemon zest. Mix well. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until needed, up to 24 hours.
- Step 3
For assembly: Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out dough into a rectangle ⅛ inch thick. Cut into 4-by-4-inch squares. Spoon about 1 tablespoon filling into center of each square. Pick up corners of each square and press points together.

Very good and easy to make once I was able to get the farmer's cheese (pot cheese). Afterwards, I bought some Swedish pearl sugar to sprinkle on top for just a hint of sweetness next time I make it, as is evident in the picture that went with the original article and recipe.
