Today’s recipe is a swift yet delightful creation – Cottage Cheese Balls coated in powdered sugar. This remarkably easy-to-make and delicious treat is ready in just 10 minutes. The texture of these cottage cheese delights is akin to yeast dough, despite not using any yeast in the recipe.
Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Balls:
- Cottage Cheese – 250 grams (8.8 ounces)
- Eggs – 1 piece
- Flour – 2 cups
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Vinegar – 1 teaspoon
- Baking Soda – 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt – a pinch
- Vegetable Oil
- Lemon Zest
Instructions for Making Cottage Cheese Balls:
- In a bowl, crack the egg, add sugar, and beat thoroughly with a whisk. Also, incorporate finely chopped lemon zest.
- To the cottage cheese, add baking soda, mix, and gradually add it to the egg mixture while stirring continuously. The result should be a homogeneous batter, not too thick nor too runny.
- Form balls slightly smaller than a walnut. It’s advisable to lightly oil your hands to prevent the cottage cheese from sticking.
- Heat vegetable oil (can be cooked in a deep fryer or in a regular saucepan), maintain a low flame, and place the balls in the pan. Leave some space between them as they will expand during frying.
- Once golden brown, your delectable treats are ready! Sprinkle them with powdered sugar on top.
