Last night I craved some cheese doughnuts, and I didn't hesitate. I chose a simple recipe that I use when I want something tasty, with cottage cheese, without much effort. I like that I don't have to waste time on unnecessary details – you mix everything, shape it, and fry it. The dough yields fluffy doughnuts, perfect to eat with sour cream and jam. Quick Info Total time: approximately 35 minutes Preparation time: 15-20 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes Servings: 4-5 people (depending on the size of the doughnuts) Difficulty: easy Recipe type: fried dessert, suitable for any time you have fresh cheese on hand Ingredients 450-500 g fresh cottage cheese 2 eggs 12-15 tablespoons of white flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (dissolved with vinegar) 3 tablespoons of sugar 2 packets of vanilla sugar vanilla essence (to taste) grated orange peel 500 ml oil for frying sour cream for serving jam (I use sour cherry) powdered sugar for sprinkling at the end (optional) Preparation method 1. Put the cottage cheese in a larger bowl. If it's lumpy, you can quickly pass it through a sieve with a fork, but it's not necessary. 2. Add the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, vanilla essence, orange peel, and baking soda dissolved in a little vinegar. Mix everything with a spatula or spoon until well combined. 3. Gradually add the flour. I usually start with about 12 tablespoons and check the dough – it should be soft but workable with floured hands, without sticking excessively. 4. Flour your hands well. Take suitable pieces of dough, shape them into balls, then gently flatten them and make a hole in the middle (with your finger). Don't make them too thin, but not too thick either. 5. Heat the oil in a deep pan. When it's hot enough (without smoking), add the doughnuts to fry. Don't overcrowd them; fry them in batches. 6. Turn the doughnuts to brown on both sides. When they turn golden, remove them to absorbent paper. 7. With the remaining dough, make the classic balls to place on top. They fry quickly, just like the doughnuts. 8. Keep them covered until serving, to maintain their soft texture. When you plate them, add plenty of sour cream and jam (sour cherries or whatever you prefer). You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar over them. Why I make this recipe often It's one of the quickest and simplest ways to make doughnuts. I don't have to beat the egg whites separately or bake anything. The cottage cheese really makes all the difference. Plus, they work well as a dessert, for breakfast, or as a snack. Tips and variations Tips If the cheese seems too wet, you can reduce the amount of egg or add an extra tablespoon or two of flour. The dough shouldn't be worked too much, just enough to mix everything. Fry the doughnuts over medium heat, so they don't burn on the outside and remain raw on the inside. Use a floured spoon to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Substitutions Cottage cheese can be replaced with fresh ricotta, but the taste will be milder. Orange peel can be omitted or replaced with lemon. The jam can be of any kind – sour cherries, blueberries, apricots, raspberries. Variations You can add a tablespoon of raisins for a different note. If you prefer larger or smaller doughnuts, portion them as you like. For an extra flavor, you can add a little rum or another extract of your choice. Serving suggestions Doughnuts are served warm, with plenty of sour cream and jam. You can alternate a layer of sour cream, one of jam, and sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top. The fried dough ball is usually placed over each doughnut. Frequently asked questions Can I use store-bought cottage cheese? Yes, but ideally it should be drier, not too creamy. If it's too wet, add more flour. Can the doughnuts be baked instead of fried? This recipe is designed for frying. For baked doughnuts, the dough needs modifications. How long can I keep the doughnuts after making them? They are best fresh, but can be stored covered in the fridge for a day. The texture changes and they are not as good. Can I make them without orange peel? Yes, you can omit the orange peel without any issues. What kind of oil is suitable for frying? Any refined oil with a neutral taste – sunflower oil, for example. Nutritional values Estimate for one serving (without toppings): approximately 300-350 kcal, 14 g protein, 15 g fat, 32 g carbohydrates. Values may vary depending on how much flour the dough absorbs and how much oil remains after frying. The sour cream and jam significantly increase the caloric intake per serving. Storage and reheating Doughnuts are best consumed fresh. If leftovers remain, they can be stored covered in the fridge until the next day, but they will harden. I do not recommend reheating in the oven or pan; they can be warmed slightly in the microwave, but the texture will not be the same. It's best to eat them immediately after making.
