Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients. For donuts, absolutely any cottage cheese is suitable – both homemade and store-bought. I used 5% fat cottage cheese.
2. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, vanillin and eggs in a deep bowl. Stir the ingredients with a fork, breaking up the curd lumps. If the curd is very lumpy, use a blender.

   

3. Add dry poppy seeds.
4. Place baking powder and flour into a bowl.
5. Stir until smooth. The dough holds its shape well, but remains very soft.
6. Sprinkle flour on the cutting board. With wet hands, form equal balls with a diameter of 3-4 cm and place them on a cutting board.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet, saucepan, or saucepan. Dip the balls into the oil so that there is a distance between them. Bubbles should appear on the surface of the oil around the balls.

   

8. Reduce heat to medium and fry the donuts for about 7-8 minutes. If the donuts float freely in the oil, then they do not need to be turned over, they themselves rotate around their axis.
9. When the donuts are light brown, take them out and place them on a plate lined with paper napkin. This is so that the excess oil is absorbed into the napkin.
10. Sprinkle the cooled donuts with powdered sugar through a fine sieve.
11. Serve donuts to the table. Cottage cheese donuts with poppy seeds are a beautiful and incredibly tasty treat.
12. A glass of milk or a cup of tea plus an airy curd donut is the perfect morning formula!
