Cottage cheese donuts are a delicate and airy treat that carefully preserves the traditions of Russian cuisine. Their history traces back to home baking, where cottage cheese was used to create a soft, slightly tangy dough. These donuts, fried to a golden color, have a crispy crust and velvety center. The white glaze adds a delicate sweetness, while the chocolate enhances the flavor richness. Perfect for morning coffee or evening tea time, they delight with their lightness and sophistication. A special touch can be the sprinkle of nuts, adding textural variety. The unique combination of easy preparation and refined taste makes cottage cheese donuts a beloved treat for the whole family.
