Instructions

1. Wash the lemon and dry it. Remove the zest. Set aside a little to decorate the casserole.

   

2. We grind the cottage cheese with the egg, removing coarse grain. Add sugar and vanilla sugar. We mix. Add semolina and flour. Mix again.
3. Throw in the lemon zest and knead the curd dough. Grease the refractory form with softened butter.
