Notes: The key to the filling is dry curds. If you can find dry curd/Pot style cottage cheese that's best. It works OK without, but if you remember strain cottage cheese using cheese cloth. Friendship in the NYC area is best at this writing.
Onion tops give the best flavor start an onion late January, by early February you should have enough tops for lent preparation.
In later years, once she started using the Kitchen Aide mixer, I noticed butter was sometimes omitted in the dough recipe.
