1.In a large bowl combine cottage cheese egg, and a pinch of salt. Add the coarse flour, mix gently and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
2.In the meantime, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dry the cleaned strawberries, and cut the larger ones as needed.
3.Place the dough on a floured work surface. Do not knead the dough unnecessarily, just roll it out into a 5- to 6-cm log with a little flour.
4.Slice off a circle of the dough and press it into the palm of your hand. Add the strawberry to the center, carefully wrap it in and press it into the shape of a round dumpling.
5.Carefully submerge the dumplings in boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. Then carefully remove the cooked dumplings, drying the ladle before placing it on a plate. Serve with melted butter and icing sugar.

1.Line the bottom of a 23-cm (9-in) springform pan with tin foil. Cover the foil with a layer of piškoty, rounded side up. You may need to break the cookies in order to fill in any holes as the entire bottom of the pan should be completely covered.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and powdered sugar. Mix well.
3.Slice the strawberries approximately ½-cm thick. Place half of the berries over the bottom layer of piškoty.
4.Spread a layer of sour cream over the fruit and cookie layers; the piškoty and strawberries should not be visible.
5.5. Repeat until you run out of ingredients (you should have enough for 1–2 additional layers) making sure that the top layer is sour cream.
6.6. Cover with tin foil and refrigerate overnight. Carefully remove from the pan, slice, garnish with more berries or a sprig of mint and serve.
