The first step is to put the cottage cheese, the grits, the egg yolks, the greated lemon peal, the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Grab a wooden spoon and mix up these ingidents well. After you mixed them all, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave it for about two hours. (This step is needed in order to soften the grits.) Then, while we are waitling for the grits to soften, brown the bread crumbs in a frying-pan. Stir it quickly in order not to burn it! After it is ready, put it aside. When the grits in our bowl are soft enough, whisk the white of the eggs and fold it slowly in the bowl. Now, put water in a cooking pot with a pinch of salt and wait until it starts to boil. Wet your hands to shape little balls from the dollop and put them in the boiling water. Please note! Do not throw! Just put! At the beginning stir them carefully so they won’t stick to the bottom of the pot. When the dumplings come up to the top of the water, then they are ready! It usually takes 5–6 minutes. Take them out of the pot and put them in the toasted bread crumbs. Serve it on a plate with sour cream and powdered sugar on the top! We can serve them with any seasonal fruits and fruit sauce as well. Enjoy!
