Cheesy mini donuts

Very appetizing cheese donuts will help you pass the time between meals. They are savory, have a pronounced cheesy taste, crispy crust.

Ingredients

• Hard cheese - 40 g
• Sour-milk cheese - 180 g
• Eggs - 1 pc.
• Salt - to taste
• Flour - 4-5 tbsp. l.
• Baking powder - 1/3 tsp
• Vegetable oil (for deep frying) - 300 ml

Directions

1. Grate curd cheese on a fine grater.
2. Grind hard cheese in the same way.
3. Combine both types of shredded cheese in a deep bowl.
4. Let's sift flour for them. Let's add baking powder. Let's break an egg. Salt to taste.
5. (You may need a little more flour than indicated in the recipe, depending on the moisture content of the cheeses. Our goal: to get a soft dough that does not stick to your fingers. We used exactly four tablespoons of flour.)
6. Knead cheese dough.
7. Sprinkle the work surface with flour. We roll up an even "sausage" with a diameter of 5-6 cm.
8. Cut with a knife into equal pieces. The blanks can be shaped into balls with your fingers.
9. Pour a generous amount of oil into a saucepan. There should be enough oil to cover future cheese donuts completely when frying. It took us 300 ml. Put a saucepan with oil on the fire. The flame level is adjusted between the average value and the lowest. Let's wait until the oil warms up well and carefully lay out a few blanks. With a wooden spatula, we will regularly turn them over so that frying occurs evenly. The degree of readiness is controlled by an appetizing golden crust.
10. We catch ready-made donuts with cheese one by one with a slotted spoon and immediately serve to the table. We only got 16 donuts.
11. Bon appetit!
