Delicate curd donuts are an easy-to-prepare dish that will be a great dessert for both family and friends. In order to surprise your loved ones with a curd delicacy, you do not need a rolling pin or a cutting board, you will not even be smeared with flour! Moreover, the ingredients can be found in the stocks of almost every housewife.
How to make donuts
To make curd donuts on your hand, you will need 200 g of cottage cheese (the fatter, the better), 5-6 tablespoons of flour, ground cinnamon - a teaspoon, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 eggs, half a teaspoon of soda, slaked with vinegar, and also vegetable oil for frying - 1 liter.
Mix cottage cheese and eggs until smooth. Add flour and sugar, knead the dough until a full-fledged dough is obtained - viscous, firm, elastic. Pour soda quenched with vinegar into the dough, knead it again until smooth.
Pour a liter of oil into a deep frying pan and heat. It should be well heated, but not hot, because otherwise the donut may burn. Dip the spoon in the butter before putting the donuts in the butter. After - feel free to spoon the dough into a spoon and dip it into the pan. The donut in the oil should sizzle. It may change its shape during the frying process, but that's okay. The result will still serve as a lush and tasty curd ball.
It takes about 5 minutes to fry the donut on each side. It is best to turn over with a fork. If the butter starts to boil, reduce the heat to low, otherwise the donut will be fried on the outside and soggy on the inside. Pull out the donuts with tongs or a spoon, put them on a dish and sprinkle with cinnamon or powdered sugar.
Note to the hostess
It should be borne in mind that one pack of cottage cheese will be the basis for 30-35 donuts - it all depends on the size of the ball you are making. You need to fry the donuts for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, otherwise the curd filling will turn out to be raw. Do not rush and fry everything over high heat - donuts may not work at all.
As a powder, you can use various confectionery things - coconut flakes, special edible beads or a scattering of different figures, as well as icing and chocolate chips. Donuts can be served with sour cream mixed with sugar, jam and liquid honey. A good addition will serve as ice cream, both ordinary ice cream, and with different flavors. If you like syrups, you can pour donuts over them, based on your own taste. If you have a pastry syringe, you can fill the donuts with liquid cream you made beforehand or condensed milk.
If you are confused by the large amount of sugar and butter in which donuts are fried, turn to the oven. You can bake donuts - half an hour at 180 degrees.
