How to make dough for cottage cheese donuts. Curd donuts. Step-by-step recipe with photos. How to make quick donuts

Curd donuts, fried in oil, a step-by-step recipe with photos which I want to offer you today became a real discovery for me. A discovery because previously I used cottage cheese mainly to make pies, cheesecakes, dumplings, and cookies. But I recently learned this recipe and immediately wanted to try making them myself at home, while already anticipating how tasty, juicy and aromatic they would turn out. Indeed, that is what they were. A large portion of delicious cottage cheese donuts, just like the ones I had baked before, disappeared from the bowl in a matter of minutes.

I can say with confidence that cottage cheese donuts, step-by-step recipe with photos which are presented below taste tastier than cheesecakes. Therefore, if you like cheesecakes, or any other baked goods made from cottage cheese, I recommend preparing them at home. You can use any cottage cheese for donuts, but as my experience has shown, and I have made them more than once, it is best to use fatty homemade cottage cheese from the market, so to speak, bought from grandmothers, and not low-fat or low-fat store-bought cottage cheese.

So, let’s prepare cottage cheese donuts fried in oil according to a step-by-step recipe. It will take you no more than 10 minutes to knead the dough and make balls (donuts) from it. They also fry quickly.

Therefore, cottage cheese donuts can be confidently classified as quick homemade baked goods. Sometimes on the Internet they are called that - 10-minute curd donuts, so don’t be surprised if you find such a name.

Ingredients:

• Egg - 1 pc.,
• Sugar - 5-6 tbsp. spoons,
• Vanillin - 1 sachet,
• Baking powder for dough - 1 teaspoon,
• Cottage cheese - 300 gr.,
• Flour - 1.5 cups,
• Refined sunflower oil - 400 gr.,

Curd donuts - recipe

After all the ingredients have been prepared, you can start making the cottage cheese donuts. Beat the egg into a deep bowl.

Add sugar to it.

Whisk the egg and sugar until fluffy.

Add a packet of vanilla to make the curd donuts fragrant.

At the same time, to obtain a loose and porous structure of curd donuts fried in oil, you need to add soda or baking powder. By reacting with sour curd, these products will fill the dough with air bubbles, resulting in them having holes.

After adding baking powder and vanillin to the dough, stir the mixture again.

Add cottage cheese.

Whisk it into the egg-sugar mixture.

All that remains is to add flour to the dough of curd donuts. Do not forget to first sift the flour through a sieve or a special mug.

Now that all the ingredients have been added, knead the dough with your hands. The dough should not be very tight, but at the same time not liquid, otherwise it will not only be difficult to roll them into a ball (the dough will stretch with your hands), but also they will turn out raw inside. The dough I got for the donuts was the same consistency as the dough for. That's it, the dough is ready.

Using hands moistened with water or vegetable oil, pinch off a small amount of dough and roll it into a walnut-sized ball.

Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan or small saucepan. I draw your attention to the fact that the oil must be refined. If you fry donuts in unrefined oil, its bright aroma will be transferred to them, and they will lose their natural creamy-curd flavor. In addition, unrefined oil will produce soot and black residue on the bottom of the pan around the time of frying the second batch of cottage cheese donuts.

Place the curd donuts on a cutting board as they are molded. You don’t need to sprinkle the board with additional flour. Any baked goods rolled in flour also quickly turns the butter dark.

Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the cheese donuts one at a time. Try to fry no more than 5-7 pieces at a time. The heat during frying should be low. Otherwise, they will be covered with a golden brown crust on the outside in a matter of seconds (minutes), and at the same time they will remain raw inside. Therefore, in order for deep-fried cottage cheese donuts in oil to be thoroughly fried, they must be fried over low heat.

Carefully remove the finished donuts, which have already become golden brown, from the oil (deep frying) using a slotted spoon. Place them on a plate lined with napkins to absorb excess fat.

How to make donuts from cottage cheese

1. Mix the egg with sugar and beat with a whisk until light foam is obtained.
   
2. Add homogeneous cottage cheese with a high percentage of fat content to the liquid mass, rub the mixture intensively with a fork.
   
3. Combine flour with baking powder and gradually sift into the curd mass. Add a pinch of vanillin to obtain a light aroma.
   
4. Knead the donut dough by hand - it should be soft, pliable and slightly sticky. If the cottage cheese is too wet or a large egg is used, the amount of flour will have to be increased. But in any case, you shouldn’t compact the mass too much, otherwise the donuts may turn out “rough.”
   
5. We form curd balls the size of a walnut or even a little smaller - when deep-frying, the donuts will increase noticeably. Periodically lubricate your palms with vegetable oil so that the sticky dough does not stick to your hands.
   
6. Prepare deep fat: in a small thick-bottomed saucepan, heat 1.5-2 cups of refined sunflower oil. Drop the curd pieces into the hot liquid, a few pieces at a time. Cook over low heat, stirring the balls frequently, until evenly browned.
   
7. Remove the hot curd donuts from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and place on napkins to absorb excess oil. Prepare the following batches in a similar way.

As children, our grandmothers spoiled us all with sweet pastries for tea. Our samovar was often hot, since many grandchildren came to visit. This simple but incredibly tasty dessert was simply called donuts by our grandmothers. I remember the fragrant smells wafting from the kitchen when they were preparing this wonderful delicacy for tea. When the whole family gathered, and on the table there was a large plate with a pile of ruddy and fluffy donuts.
Curd donuts are balls or rings made from curd dough that are fried in oil. This delicacy is a universal dish. So you can take them with you on a picnic, offer them to your child as a snack at school, and simply prepare them for tea. Donuts are prepared very quickly and are also very nutritious, tasty and healthy.

How to make cottage cheese donuts

They are prepared from regular dough or yeast. The donut is traditionally shaped like a ball or ring. A classic product can be filled, sprinkled with sugar, covered with icing or chocolate.

Three basic rules will tell you how to make cottage cheese donuts so that they turn out perfect.

Donut dough

Dough for donuts with cottage cheese according to recipes of any complexity should be made from high-quality flour. It must be cleared of debris and sifted through a fine sieve. The sifting procedure allows you to further enrich the flour with oxygen, which improves the quality of the finished product.

Cottage cheese for donuts

It is best to use homemade cottage cheese for donuts. This product must be fresh and sufficiently dry. Cottage cheese with excess moisture will “clog” the dough and the donut will not turn out fluffy. To ensure a homogeneous composition of the dough, it is highly advisable to grind the cottage cheese, which will remove all lumps.

Frying

The total amount of oil should exceed the product being fried by 3-4 times.
The optimal temperature for deep frying is 190 C. It should be constant throughout cooking. The main thing is not to overheat it initially, but to warm it up well and evenly. If you fry donuts in fat that is not hot enough, they will absorb a lot of fat, making them tasteless.
The optimal frying time on each side is 3 minutes. Turning the donuts regularly will ensure they are evenly fried and golden.
The fryer used must be of high quality. It is unacceptable to use old oil.

The dessert combines a lush and “airy” crumb, a thin golden crust, a light creamy aroma and a pleasant taste. It will be very difficult to resist such a mouth-watering delicacy! So, let’s prepare delicious cottage cheese donuts using the following recipes with photos step by step.
