Combine yeast, water and sugar; let stand until bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut butter into flour in large mixing bowl until mixture is the size of small peas. Add yeast, egg and vanilla. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth.

1/8 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 c. sugar
2 c. creamed small curd cottage cheese

I've been searching for this recipe for years! It is a wonderfully tasty and attractive dessert. Takes a bit of effort but definitely worth it. Thank you so much.

The completed product is WONDERFUL... very close to a cheese danish. HOWEVER, you must realize that the 3 tbsp of sugar goes in with the pineapple and you reduce the flour to 2 tbsp; and the glaze does need some confectionery sugar if it's going to become any real addition to the dish. Used to make it for EVERY holiday, and it's great. Bringing it back to spark the memories and taste buds.

I'm thrilled to find this recipe! When I was a girl my mother and my grandmother made these pastries from a Bake Off cookbook. I loved them so much my mother promised to make them again for my birthday. Sadly, she died suddenly 2 months later. I'll be 65 years old in October and I'll bake them in honor of my Mom.

I also have been searching for this recipe. I did have a few issues. I had left over cheese filling and the dough seemed to be not enough. I followed the recipe but not sure where I went wrong. Still rising now but will post the results.
