Cheese donuts are a delicate, airy treat that captivates from the first bite. Their homeland is considered to be Russian cuisine, where cottage cheese holds a special place in baking. These donuts have a thin crispy crust that hides a soft, fragrant center with a slight tang of cheese. Their sweetness is balanced by the softness of the dough, creating a perfect harmony of flavors. They are easy to prepare: the dough is shaped into small balls and fried until golden brown. The finishing touch is powdered sugar, adding gentle sweetness. They pair perfectly with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee and can also make a wonderful breakfast or cozy dessert for family gatherings.
