Cottage Cheese Doughnuts

Cottage cheese doughnuts are small balls of cottage cheese dough with baking powder, deep-fried to a golden color and dusted with powdered sugar. From 250 g of cottage cheese you get about 21 walnut-sized doughnuts. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself - I highly recommend these, enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 250 g cottage cheese
• 200 g flour
• 2 eggs
• 40 g sugar
• 10 g vanilla sugar
• 10 g baking powder
• salt pinch
• vegetable oil for frying

Method

 

1. In a bowl, blend the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt into a smooth mixture.
2. Sift in 150 g of flour with the baking powder, mix with your hand or a spoon, then add about 50 g more flour and knead the dough. It will be slightly sticky, but workable.
3. On a flour-dusted counter, roll walnut-sized doughnuts, coating each one in flour - you'll get about 21 pieces.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan to a depth of about 2 cm and fry the doughnuts until golden, turning often.
5. Place the finished doughnuts on paper towels to absorb excess oil, and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
   

Tips

• The dough turns out slightly sticky - that's normal, work on a flour-dusted counter.
• A layer of oil about 2 cm deep in a small saucepan is enough.
• Turn the doughnuts often so they fry evenly and don't burn.
• Place the finished doughnuts on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
