Cottage cheese donuts

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   In a prepared bowl for making dough, break an egg and add sugar to it. Mix everything with a whisk.

2. Step 2:

   

   Then add the required amount of cottage cheese to the bowl. Mix until smooth. It is best to use cottage cheese rubbed through a sieve. Thanks to this, there will be no pieces of cottage cheese in the finished donuts, and the consistency will be evenly tender.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour a little soda into a tablespoon and extinguish it with vinegar. To do this, drop a little vinegar into a spoon. When the mass is well foamed, add it to the dough. Mix it up.

4. Step 4:

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve and add a little to the dough. Step it in gradually. It is convenient to mix with a simple spoon or a wooden spatula. You should get a dough that practically does not stick to your hands. When the flour almost interferes with the dough, you can put it on the table and knead with your hands. Only lightly sprinkle the table with flour.

6. Step 5:

   

   Roll small balls from the finished dough, about the size of a walnut. If the dough sticks a little, then you can lubricate your hands with vegetable oil.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a small but deep frying pan. There should be enough of it to fry donuts freely in it. Preheat the oil to a hot state. Put the dough balls in the hot oil. Just do it very carefully so as not to burn your hands. It is convenient to lower the balls one by one. Fry them over medium heat until delicious, golden brown.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then, using a knife, turn them over to the other side. And also fry for a couple of minutes. If there is a lot of oil poured that they float freely in it, then when ready, the balls themselves turn over with the raw part down.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the finished donuts on paper towels. Thanks to this, excess oil will leave them and they will not be too greasy. Sprinkle the finished donuts with a little powdered sugar and help yourself. Bon appetit!
