What is important to know when making donuts

The simplicity of making cottage cheese donuts captivates all housewives. And although each recipe has its own characteristics, several general rules are common to all.

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.

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.

Classical frying of products is carried out in very hot fat - deep fat.

You can use lard or refined vegetable oil as fat. To ensure that the final result does not contain excess fat, you must adhere to the technological conditions.

The total amount of oil should exceed the product being fried by 3-4 times.

The optimal temperature for deep frying is 190C. It should be constant throughout the entire cooking process. 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.

If possible, it is better to use a special donut machine. Its use will significantly facilitate the work and significantly reduce the calorie content of cottage cheese donuts, which is 296 kcal per 100 g of product without glaze and filling when frying in oil.
Taking into account all the nuances of preparation, look at the next recipe

These cottage cheese donuts haunted me for a long time. It just so happened that I never tried them as a child, no grandmother fed me them (now I think: maybe... because it’s harmful?).

I tried cottage cheese donuts for the first time at AUCHAN, and absolutely fell in love. The tasty, light, cute koloboks seemed simply wonderful, and even realizing that they were deep-fried, I said to myself: “I want it!”

Then there was a search for a recipe and several unsuccessful attempts, until I practically adjusted my own recipe, with the correct, in my opinion, dough consistency.

Yield: 20-23 donuts.
Ingredients
cottage cheese 400g
wheat flour 250g
chicken eggs 2
sugar 4 tablespoons
ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon
100g powdered sugar (with vanilla and cinnamon) for sprinkling
baking powder for the dough

Preparation

Mix sugar and eggs by hand. Add cottage cheese and mix thoroughly again, achieving homogeneity.

Sift the flour. Baking powder and salt are sent to the same place as the flour, through the same sieve.

Knead the dough using a spoon or spatula.

Pour flour directly onto the table, or, if available, onto a large board. Roll out thick long sausages and ropes from the dough. The consistency of the dough should be approximately the same as for lazy dumplings (seen in the photo). This will be the “material” from which we make our koloboks.
I know that some people make donuts from a fairly liquid dough, taking it with a spoon and throwing it into deep fat. It’s a matter of taste, I didn’t like this consistency, and the shape is sloppy.

Cut the “sausage” into small pieces that can fit in a dessert spoon. (If you want something even smaller, use a tea room).

Now it's time for deep frying. If you have a deep fryer, then this will simplify the task, if not (I don’t, I’m committed to a healthy diet and rarely cook “something like that”) - boil the oil in a saucepan. While the oil is heating up, we give the curd donuts a “face control”: are all the koloboks completely round? If not, round, carefully shaping each one with your hands. Then we check the oil, it should hiss, boil and bubble when it comes into contact with the dough (a piece and check).

We put the balls into oil, where they will turn into real cottage cheese donuts. We are only 5 minutes away from the result - that’s exactly how long it will take for the sides of the first donuts to turn golden.

While the first portion of donuts is deep-fried, prepare a paper towel or several napkins where we will place them to remove excess oil.

No, not ready yet. We also roll the donuts in cinnamon powder or just sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Let's put it on a beautiful dish.

Now it's ready. Like? And the kids love it!!

- a favorite delicacy from childhood. If pastries and cakes are served mainly for holidays, donuts are an everyday, everyday dessert, but no less tasty.

Donuts are dough products in the form of a ball or ring, fried in a large amount of fat. Donuts are made from yeast dough, kefir dough or cottage cheese. The inside of the donut may contain filling, and the top is generously sprinkled with powdered sugar or glazed.

Quickly deep-fried cottage cheese donuts

This recipe will be appreciated by housewives who do not like fiddling with dough. When making these donuts, you don’t need a rolling pin, and you don’t have to get your hands, table or cutting board dirty with flour. The dough is kneaded in a bowl and spooned into the hot fat. The donuts are soft, tender and flavorful.

Recipe ingredients:

cottage cheese 200 g.
flour 6 tbsp. spoons
sugar 3 tbsp. spoons
eggs 2 pcs.
baking powder 1/2 teaspoon
salt a pinch
vanilla sugar 1 sachet
vegetable oil 1 l. for frying

Cooking method:

Rub the cottage cheese through a metal sieve. Add eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder. The dough should be homogeneous, elastic and thick. Thicker than pancakes.
Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Reduce heat to medium. Pinch off a little dough with a spoon and drop it into the boiling oil. Fry the donuts for 4 minutes on each side. The oil should not be excessively hot. The donuts will quickly brown but remain raw inside. If you fry on very low heat, the donuts will absorb a lot of oil and turn out greasy.
Place the finished products on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Advice: Mix powdered sugar with the same amount of cocoa powder. You will get delicious donuts with chocolate flavor.
The oil in which the donuts were fried can be used up to 7 times. After preparing the donuts, let it cool and settle. Pour into a glass container, leaving sediment at the bottom. Store in the refrigerator.

Yeast curd donut balls

Truly fluffy donuts are made using yeast. They turn out porous, fluffy and at the same time juicy, with a characteristic curd flavor. A pack of cottage cheese and yeast donuts yields 3 times more than regular donuts. Another plus is that donuts with cottage cheese do not go stale longer.

Recipe ingredients:

cottage cheese 200 g.
eggs 1 pc.
flour 2 cups
margarine 30 g.
milk 200 ml.
sugar 2 tbsp. spoons
dry yeast 1 teaspoon
salt a pinch
vegetable oil 1 l.

Cooking method:

Warm the milk just above room temperature. Dissolve sugar in milk. Add dry yeast. Let the mixture stand in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the yeast will “come to life”, as evidenced by the resulting foam cap.
Melt the margarine. Let it cool.
Sift the flour into a deep bowl. Beat the egg, add cottage cheese and a pinch of salt. Stir the products until smooth. Pour in the milk-yeast mixture and melted and cooled margarine. Knead the dough. The dough will be sticky, so don't try to add more flour.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film or a towel and place in a warm place to rise. It will take 1-1.5 hours. The dough should double in volume.
Knead the risen dough again. Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan. With your hands greased with vegetable oil, pinch off small lumps of dough, form balls 2-3 centimeters in diameter and deep-fry them until golden brown. Place the fried donuts on a paper napkin to absorb excess fat. Then sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
Advice: Yeast ball donuts can be made with filling. Inside the dough, place a handful of raisins, dried apricots, half a teaspoon of jam or thick boiled condensed milk.

Despite all the splendid taste characteristics, donuts cannot be called a dietary dish. Fried in boiling vegetable oil, they contain a lot of calories, and for many, fried food is completely contraindicated. Donuts cooked in the oven contain fewer calories, are healthier, and taste just as good as fried ones. They can be prepared in the form of a ring or as filled balls.

Recipe ingredients:

cottage cheese 500 g.
eggs 2 pcs.
sugar 100 g.
flour 500 g.
soda 1 teaspoon
vinegar 1 tbsp. spoon
salt to taste
apple jam 200 g.
powdered sugar 3-4 tbsp. spoons

Cooking method:

There are no special tricks involved in cooking cottage cheese donuts in the oven. Place the cottage cheese in a bowl, add salt, sugar, one whole egg and the yolk of the second egg. Set the white aside. It will come in handy later. Mix well. Extinguish the soda directly over the bowl with vinegar. Gradually add flour and knead the dough, kneading first with a spoon and then with your hand. The dough will be dense and tight, it may seem like there is a lot of flour. However, very soon it will soften and accept all the flour.
Sprinkle your work surface with flour. Place a lump of dough and roll it into a layer no more than 1 centimeter thick. Squeeze out circles with a glass. Place apple jam or other filling in the center of each of them. Brush the edges of the cake with beaten egg white. Cover with the same circle of dough. Press lightly until the halves stick together.
Place donuts on oiled parchment paper. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Temperature – 180° C. Sprinkle the cooled products with powdered sugar.
Advice: Try mixing powdered sugar with a teaspoon of cinnamon. If you use boiled condensed milk as a filling, it is better to mix powdered sugar with cocoa powder.
Donuts can be coated with icing or melted chocolate and sprinkled with coconut or colorful sprinkles. The result will be a solemn version worthy of a festive table.

Try making donuts with semolina. They have the consistency of crispy pudding, not quite as good, but very healthy and tasty.

Recipe ingredients:

cottage cheese 250 g.
semolina 2 tbsp. spoons
milk 1 glass
flour 1 cup
eggs 1 pc.
sugar 2 tbsp. spoons
baking powder 1 teaspoon
vegetable oil 1 l.

Cooking method:

Bring the milk to a boil. Pour boiling milk over semolina, stir, let the cereal swell and cool.
Rub the cottage cheese through a metal sieve. Add egg, sugar, salt, swollen semolina, flour and baking powder. Knead the dough.
Heat the oil in the multicooker bowl to 160° C. Form small balls from the dough, roll them in semolina. Fry the donuts until golden brown. Remove donuts from oil. Allow excess oil to drain. Dust with powdered sugar or frosting.

This is a classic recipe for making cottage cheese donuts.

Cottage cheese – 250 gr.
Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
Granulated sugar – 3 tbsp.
Vanilla sugar - a pinch
Soda – 0.5 tsp.
Premium flour – 2 cups
Vegetable oil.

First, grind the cottage cheese through a thick sieve. Mix it with sugar, add a pinch of vanilla sugar and eggs - mix well. Now you can add flour and soda in portions. Stir until you run out of ingredients. As a result, you should have a soft and elastic dough in your hands.
At this stage, you can proceed in two ways: cover the dough with cling film and set it aside for 20-30 minutes, or immediately start preparing. Depending on your free time, you choose one method or another.
So, we will roll the finished dough for the recipe for cottage cheese donuts into a sausage and divide it into small portions. We wet our hands a little and begin to form beautiful balls with each piece of dough.
Large balls do not need to be rolled, because they will increase in size during frying. So, all the balls are rolled, all that remains is to place a deep fryer on the hob and pour oil into it. There should be enough oil for our curd donuts to bathe in it. Heat the oil, reduce the heat to medium and begin to drop one ball at a time. Gently fry on all sides, periodically “rolling” them with a silicone spatula.
Place the rosy donuts on a plate covered with a paper napkin. Immediately after the next portion of donuts is prepared, the first one can be transferred to a wide dish - the napkin has already absorbed all the excess fat. Sprinkle the finished curd donuts with powdered sugar through a thick strainer, garnish with mint leaves and serve.

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.

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. I got the dough for donuts 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 cheesecake 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

Mix the egg with sugar and beat with a whisk until light foam is obtained.
Add homogeneous cottage cheese with a high percentage of fat content to the liquid mass, rub the mixture intensively with a fork.
Combine flour with baking powder and gradually sift into the curd mass. Add a pinch of vanillin to obtain a light aroma.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
If desired, sprinkle freshly prepared cottage cheese donuts with powdered sugar through a fine sieve or pour over melted chocolate. In addition to dessert, you can prepare a simple cream by mixing sour cream with powdered sugar.
