Step 1
First, mash the cottage cheese thoroughly so that no lumps remain. It's most convenient to do this using a blender. Then add the eggs and sugar to the cottage cheese and blend everything again until well combined.

It's better to fry donuts in a deep frying pan or even in a pot with a large amount of vegetable oil. The oil should cover at least half of the donut, and preferably the entire donut. Fry each side for about 2 minutes.

Step 5
Place the finished doughnuts on a plate lined with a napkin or paper towel, layered in several layers. This will allow excess oil to drain off the doughnuts. Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, you can dust them with powdered sugar.
