Kolobki (Russian Cottage Cheese Donuts) image

Posting this for safe-keeping, will tweak it later. Kolobok (kuh-luh-bOck) is a dough ball from a Russian fairy tale. These fried gems are fun for kids, tasty calcium for adults. To be clear, I wouldn't feed this to my toddler because of the fried aspect, but I loved them when I was little!

Time 20m

Yield 36 pieces, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb russian cottage cheese (Farmer's Cheese)
1 cup flour
3 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon other extract
oil (for frying)
powdered sugar
sour cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Combine first 7 ingredients to form a very thick batter.
  • (Original recipe calls for 1/2c flour and crumbs, but even with double the flour mine was too sticky to roll.).
  • Heat oil in a wide frying pan.
  • (According to Good Eats, more oil is better since the oil is absorbed when oil temp drops, which happens when too much cold stuff is added to not enough oil. I used enough to fill the pan with 1/3 of an inch).
  • Use a tea-spoon to quickly scoop and drop dough balls. Since the batter is pretty thick, use your finger to make the drop.
  • Alternatively, form balls roughly 1" in diameter, then drop into oil.
  • Do not crowd the pan or drop so many that you won't be able to flip them comfortably.
  • Fry past golden-brown, about 90 sec. Adjust oil temp if needed.
  • Flip using 2 forks.
  • Fry the other side.
  • Carefully lift each Kolobok out onto racks lined with paper towels, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  • Repeat until batter runs out, and serve whatever hasn't been stolen from the plate. Top with sour cream or possibly syrup/jams? Should keep well overnight.

I'm allergic to cottage cheese, so I used ricotta cheese instead. The donuts still turned out great.

The donuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were good.
