Cottage cheese donuts

Cottage cheese donuts are a tender and airy dessert that captivates with its softness and light sweet-sour taste. The history of this treat goes back to European culinary traditions where cottage cheese is often used for baking. Thanks to the combination of cottage cheese, eggs, and flour, the donuts acquire a velvety texture, while the addition of baking soda activated with vinegar makes them especially fluffy. Fried in boiling oil, they develop a crispy golden crust that is perfectly complemented by powdered sugar. These donuts are ideal for a cozy family tea time or festive table. They can be served with jam, honey, or sour cream, turning a simple treat into a true gastronomic delight.
