To prepare the most delicious and delicious balls, we need the following components:
- fine-grained cottage cheese with a fat content of 9% - 500 g;
- large chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
- sifted wheat flour - from 200 g (to the density and softness of the dough);
- granulated sugar - 3 large spoons;
- vanillin - ½ dessert spoon;
- small iodized salt - ½ dessert spoon;
- table soda - a full teaspoon (quench with apple cider vinegar);
- refined vegetable oil - for deep-frying;
- powdered sugar or chocolate - for sprinkling finished products.
Cooking dough
The presented kolobok recipe includes only simple and affordable products. Before sending the semi-finished products in deep fat, carefully knead the soft dough. To do this, put the fine-grained cottage cheese in a bowl, add chicken eggs, iodized salt and granulated sugar to it. The ingredients should be mixed well until the sugar is completely dissolved. At the end, be sure to add table soda quenched with apple cider vinegar to the curd base and add white sifted wheat flour.

For this, you need to pick up a dessert spoon of the base, sprinkle it lightly with wheat flour and roll it into a small, even bun.

After about 10 balls are formed, you should put on the fire a deep thick-walled dish (for example, a duckweed) and pour enough oil into it (to cover the surface by 2-4 cm). When the vegetable fat boils, it is necessary to lay out the semi-finished products in it one by one and, stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until the dough is browned. Spread the koloboks in small portions, as during the frying process they increase in volume.
As soon as all the balls become lush and golden, take them out of the oil with a slotted spoon and discard them in a colander so that the excess fat is stacked.
How to serve?
