Lazy vareniki have a clear advantage over the classic version of the dish. We are talking about the speed of preparation.

There is no need to mold anything and there is no need to fiddle with laying out the filling.

It is enough to mix cottage cheese, raw eggs and flour. As a result, you will get dough, which should be simply cut into pieces and put in a pan with boiling water.

However, there are still some difficulties: lazy dumplings do not always hold their shape when in boiling liquid.

Sometimes the dish falls apart, turning into an unsightly mass.

However, there is a simple culinary trick that allows you to preserve the shape of the dumplings: the dish will look perfectly even.

The essence of a culinary life hack

The secret to the integrity of lazy vareniki is their preliminary freezing.

If pieces of cottage cheese and flour mixture that were recently in the freezer end up in a pot of boiling water, there won’t be any problems.

That is why it makes sense to prepare a large quantity of raw lazy vareniki at once and put them in the freezer.

In this case, the dish can be prepared in portions. And you won’t have to waste time creating a fresh curd-flour base.
