In a bowl, mix 500 g of yuka starch, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder.

Make a well in the center and add 3 large eggs along with 100 g of softened unsalted butter.

Mix with your fingers until it turns into a creamy mixture.

Start incorporating the dry ingredients until a crumbly dough forms.

Add 300 g of well-drained cottage cheese.

For extra flavor, mix in 100 g of grated cheese.

Mix everything together until the dough is smooth and uniform.

If the dough feels too soft, add more yuka starch one tablespoon at a time until it's easier to handle.

Divide the dough into portions of about 50 g and roll them into small balls.

Evenly space the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place the rolls in a preheated oven at 260° C (500° F).

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.

Final tip, make sure not to overbake to keep them soft and prevent drying out.
