Ingredients:
- For the Donuts:
- 400g cottage cheese
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Vanilla sugar
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 heaping teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 tablespoons of spirits (to prevent oil absorption)
- 2 and 3/4 cups flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: Mix eggs, cottage cheese, sugars, sour cream, baking soda, and spirits until well combined. If the cottage cheese is coarse, consider blending the mixture for a smoother consistency. Gradually add flour to form a pliable dough.
- Shape the Donuts: Divide the dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out to about 4mm thickness. Use a glass to cut out circles and a smaller cutter (like a shot glass) for the holes. Don't forget to fry the little dough balls for extra treats!
- Fry: Heat oil to 170°C (338°F) and fry the donuts until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Decorate: Once cooled, glaze or sugar-coat the donuts to your liking.
