Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix cottage cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and raisins in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Lay out 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface and brush lightly with melted butter.
Step 3
Repeat layering and buttering until you have 4 phyllo sheets stacked.
Step 4
Spread half the cottage cheese filling across the phyllo 2 inches from the bottom edge, leaving a 1-inch border on sides.
Step 5
Roll tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go. Transfer seam-side down to a buttered baking sheet.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining 4 phyllo sheets and filling to make a second roll. Brush both rolls with remaining butter.
Step 7
Bake 18–20 minutes until golden brown and edges curl. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
