Lazy cottage cheese doughnut bites – a quick and easy recipe
Ingredients
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- About 150 g flour
- 3–4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Oil for frying
- Icing sugar for dusting
Preparation
Mash the cottage cheese with a fork to make it fluffier. Then, add the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Mix everything well.
Next, add the baking powder to the flour and combine. Gradually add the flour mixture to the dough. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky, but firm enough to hold its shape.
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Use a spoon or your hands to shape small balls, then carefully place them in the hot oil. I use two spoons to shape them. This is quicker, and the uneven shape of the doughnuts certainly doesn’t affect their taste!
Fry until the doughnut bites turn a lovely golden colour. Then, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain.
Finally, dust them with icing sugar.
These doughnut bites taste best when warm. However, they are also delicious the next day, provided there are any left! They are quick and easy to make – a truly effortless sweet treat. Enjoy!
