Ingredients
- 400 g cottage cheese
- 700 ml vegetable oil for deep frying
- 4 tbsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- 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 well these two ingredients using a fork.
- Add eggs into the mixture one by one. Mix thoroughly.
- Combine dry ingredients; 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; better served with condensed milk or your favorite type of jam.
