This is a super easy recipe to follow. With a few simple ingredients, you have a delicious dessert! If you were looking for a new way to include cottage cheese in your meals, this one was perfect. It took me about 25 minutes to cook the cottage cheese balls. The hardest thing was determining when to deep-fry them. As I do not like icing sugar, I did not dust the cottage cheese balls with it. However, you have many options. Enjoy!
Ingredients for Super Easy Cottage Cheese Donuts:
- 400 g cottage cheese;
- 700 ml vegetable oil for deep frying;
- 4 tbsps. sugar;
- ½ tsp. baking powder;
- 2 eggs;
- 300 g all-purpose flour;
- a pinch of salt.
How to Make the Best Cottage Cheese Balls:
- Take a large bowl to mix the ingredients. Take cottage cheese (you can push through a sieve first to make it fluffier). Add sugar. Combine these two ingredients well using a fork.
- Add eggs into the mixture one by one. Mix thoroughly.
- Combine dry ingredients, such as flour, with baking powder. Sieve them into the mixture and mix again.
- It is better to knead the dough by hand. It should be enough soft and nonsticky at the same time.
- Make small donut balls from the dough. It turned out to be easier to roll all the balls before deep-frying.
- I took a deep pan and filled it with oil. You should have enough oil to cover the donut balls. Preheat oil to cooking temperature (around 177 °C / 350 °F). I got oil hot on high heat and then changed it to medium – small. It is also easier to cook in small patches. Insert donut balls into oil and let them fry until the crust becomes golden brown.
- It can take you up to 4 minutes for a bunch. Remove them from the pan and place on the paper towel to get rid of excess oil. You can cover cottage cheese donuts with icing sugar and cinnamon; it is better served with condensed milk or your favorite type of jam.
