Curd Doughnuts "Funny balls" Recipe
Today I suggest you try these delicate donuts with me - what else are they good for, the fact that they are offered two cooking options - in the oven and deep-fried. I have prepared both options, which one you choose, decide for yourself!

  4. Gradually add flour (it may take much less! It all depends on the humidity of the cottage cheese, the size of the egg, etc.), knead a smooth, soft, elastic dough - it almost does not stick to your hands.

  7. Now we put the filling on one circle - here I have marmalade, cover with a second circle and gently pinch the edges with a fork. If you do not score the dough with flour, the edges fit perfectly together, if they do not stick together, then lubricate the edges with milk and press down with a fork in a circle.

  9. If we bake in the oven, then we put the crumpets on a baking sheet (forgot to take a picture of this stage), put them in a preheated 180C oven for 25-30 minutes, cool the finished crumpets.

  10. If you are going to deep fry them, then pour the oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom so that the muffins float in it, and heat it well. Then you need to reduce the heat to about medium (I still warmed up a lot and the puffs were a little "browned")). Fry on both sides until golden brown.

  11. We take out the finished donuts with a slotted spoon and spread them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Ready-made crumpets can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.
