To start the process of preparing delicious cheese doughnuts, it is essential to gather all the necessary ingredients. You will need 500 g of well-drained cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 150 g of sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, 300 g of flour, 1 sachet of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and of course, oil for frying. Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a uniform and smooth dough.
In a large bowl, begin by mashing the cottage cheese with a fork until it becomes a fine paste, without lumps. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar, mixing well with a whisk or spatula to combine the ingredients. In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the cheese mixture, stirring gently to avoid lumps. Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and elastic, but be careful not to over-knead it.
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place, away from drafts, until it doubles in volume. This process can take about 30-40 minutes, depending on the room temperature. After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and carefully turn it out, then divide it into equal-sized pieces. Shape each piece into balls or, if you prefer, form the doughnuts with a hole on top, giving them the traditional shape.
Let them rest for another 10-15 minutes to relax. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to fry the doughnuts so that they become golden and crispy on the outside. When the oil is ready, carefully add the doughnuts to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until they are golden on both sides, then remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
To serve, dust the doughnuts with vanilla sugar or give them a delicious touch with sour cream, jam, jelly, or fresh fruit. Combining the flavors will surely make them everyone’s favorite. Enjoy them warm and savor every bite of these fluffy and flavorful doughnuts!
