Fried cottage cheese doughnuts
Description
Making cheese doughnuts is quite simple. If you have a deep fryer, it will greatly simplify the cooking process. However, a pot or deep frying pan will work just fine. Dust the finished doughnuts with powdered sugar and serve. You can serve them with tea or coffee.

Step 1
It's better to use fat-free cottage cheese, as there is already a lot of oil from frying in the fried donuts. Blend the cottage cheese with a blender or pass it through a sieve to make it smooth and uniform.

In a cauldron or deep fryer, heat odorless vegetable oil. Then fry the doughnuts in the boiling oil until golden brown. Place the cooked doughnuts on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
