Cottage cheese buns (fonchiki) fried in oil Recipe

Process the cottage cheese mass in a blender to make it more airy. Cut the butter into cubes, put it in a small saucepan and over low heat, stirring constantly, melt. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Beat eggs with a mixer usually and vanilla sugar and salt until smooth, fluffy mass. Add cottage cheese with butter and mix.

Remove half of the lemon with a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Add it to the cottage cheese mass with the zest. Mix carefully. Put in the flour and carefully knead the cottage cheese dough. Leave for 10 minutes at room temperature. Pour vegetable oil into a saucepan and heat well.

From the resulting dough, make small plates or balls. Immerse them step by step in well-heated oil and fry until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
