Very tasty Lemon Rolls ( cottage cheese dessert QUICK and EASY recipe)

Grate the zest of half a lemon or an orange, avoiding the white part to prevent bitterness.

Add the zest to sugar and mix well with a whisk until the sugar acquires a light zest color and aroma.

In a large bowl, mix 1 egg yolk with 35 ml of room temperature milk and 20 ml of odorless vegetable oil until homogeneous.

Add the flavored sugar to the mixture and mix again until the sugar dissolves.

Add 180 g of soft cottage cheese to the mixture and whisk until no lumps remain, using a blender if necessary.

Sift 230 g of flour with a pinch of salt and 10 g of baking powder.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the liquid mixture, mixing first with a spatula and then with hands as the dough thickens.

Knead the dough until smooth and not sticky, adding extra flour if needed, but do not overdo it.

Divide the dough into four parts and form a ball from each part.

Roll each ball out to 2-3 mm thick, maintaining a circular shape.

Cut each circle into 8 pieces like a pizza.

Roll up each piece from the wide part to the tip like a croissant.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Spread the rolls on a baking sheet with a small distance between them.

Bake for about 14-15 minutes until golden.

Cool the rolls on a rack and roll them in powdered sugar.
