Mrs. Haller's Cheese Torte
Not quite a cheesecake and not quite a true torte, this is a very old recipe from my grandmother. This is a wonderfully creamy dessert, best served with a nice cup of coffee.

Method
1
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch round baking dish by lightly greasing it.
2
Combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl, whisking together until well blended.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the small curd cottage cheese and sugar, stirring until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture is well combined.
4
Add the beaten eggs to the cottage cheese mixture, stirring gently to incorporate evenly.
5
Pour the milk and vanilla extract into the mixture, stirring until smooth and consistent.
6
Sprinkle the flour-cornstarch mixture over the wet ingredients and fold gently until no dry streaks remain.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes until the top is light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving, as it will continue to set as it cools.
