The túrógombóc, coated in golden-brown breadcrumbs, is soft and delicate on the inside, offering pure joy with every bite.
Túrógombóc is an old favorite that often finds its place among the specialties of grandmothers. This sweet delicacy is simple to make, with the only thing to keep in mind being the careful addition of semolina. If too much semolina is added to the cottage cheese, the dumplings will turn out firm. To achieve a soft texture, let the kneaded mixture rest in the cold. It can spend a night in the refrigerator, and the next day, after cooking, the inside of the dumplings will be soft and delicate.
