Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly.
2
In a medium bowl, mix together cottage cheese, softened cream cheese, and the beaten egg until well combined. Set this cheese filling aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, beaten eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
4
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the rolled dough into 4-inch squares.
6
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold the square diagonally to create a triangle, securely pinching the edges to seal the filling inside.

Transfer the assembled kreplach to the prepared baking sheet, placing them apart to allow for expansion. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
