Cottage Cheese Doughnuts with Raspberry Sauce

Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making cute little cottage cheese doughnuts that come out wonderfully homey and imperfect — not the classic donut shop kind, but charming dumplings instead. The dough comes together quickly, gets shaped with two spoons and shallow-fried until golden, then rolled in vanilla sugar while hot. The best part is finishing them your way: with the raspberry sauce, whipped cream, jam, or whatever toppings call to you.

Mix the flour with baking powder

Stir the baking powder into the flour. Put all the ingredients in a bowl, but hold off on the water for now — add it later as needed.

All-purpose wheat flour

Chicken Eggs

Semi-Fat Curd Cheese
2/6

A slightly sticky dough

Stir the dough together with a wooden spoon. It should hold together and feel a bit sticky — that's totally fine!
3/6

Shape the doughnuts and fry

Get a large frying pan ready and pour in the oil — just a shallow layer is enough. Take two tablespoons: use one to scoop up the dough and the other to help shape it into a doughnut, then drop it into the hot oil.

Fry on all sides until cooked through

Turn the doughnuts so they fry evenly on all sides. Towards the end you can have quite a few in the pan at once. Keeping the heat moderate helps them cook through nicely in the middle as well.

Roll in vanilla sugar

While still hot, roll the doughnuts in a mixture of icing sugar and vanilla seeds. Make sure they're evenly coated all over, then set them aside on a clean plate.

About this recipe

I don't care that they're not perfectly shaped like classic doughnuts. They're more like little dumplings, really. I don't even want them to all look the same. This dish has always felt homey to me, and that's exactly how it looks. As kids, we just ate them dusted with sugar and topped with whipped cream. For my own kids, I've added a raspberry sauce, because they simply love it! Try serving them with a different fruit sauce too, or dress them up with sour cream, whipped cream, plum jam, poppy seeds, or fresh fruit. It's really down to personal taste how you finish off your doughnuts.
