  Sometimes I spoil my family with delicious sweet dishes and prepare cottage cheese balls fried in oil, a recipe with a photo of which I prepared for you today. Curd balls that just melt in your mouth. Of course, to cook them, you need to make an effort and spend a little time, I will not say that this is a five-minute dish. But I don’t want to frighten you with complex processes, especially since there are none.
  In fact, the dough for the balls is quite simple, if you know how to make, then you can quite cope with this dish, but if you encounter some difficulties, then I’m sure that they will be completely solvable. Although, it seems to me, it’s enough to prepare the balls once, and only then you will do everything automatically, without even thinking. It is clear that even adhering to the recipe, each time you will get a dough of a different consistency, because the eggs are of different sizes and cottage cheese of different fat content. That is why it is always necessary to focus on the fact that a good dough for such balls usually has a moderate consistency: it is neither liquid nor thick, but soft and viscous, so that it can easily stick balls from it.
  To taste, you can add vanilla essence or coffee extract to this dough, or you can rub the zest with lemon or orange, or add dried fruits, for example, raisins, pitted prunes or dried apricots.
  We prepare balls in a large amount of fat, of course, a deep fryer is ideal for this. But, for example, I don’t have it, but I still cook such a dessert, because for these purposes it’s quite possible to use a saucepan in which to pour refined oil.


Ingredients:
- cottage cheese (fat content not less than 15%) - 250 g,
- granulated sugar - 2 tbsp.,
- table chicken egg - 1 pc.,
- vanilla sugar - 2 tbsp.,
- baking soda - ½ tsp,
- table vinegar (lemon juice) - 1 tsp,
- wheat flour (premium) - 2 tbsp.,
- fine crystalline sea or table salt - pinch,
- oil (deodorized) - 400 ml.

Recipe with photo step by step:





Separately, break the chicken egg into a small bowl and add salt, granulated sugar and flavor (vanillin, zest or coffee extract). Stir the mixture thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.




  Then add the cottage cheese (in order for the balls to be more tender, the cottage cheese must be grated through a sieve or interrupted using a blender).




   After we add the soda quenched with vinegar.









  Gradually knead a soft tender dough.




  From the dough we pluck small pieces, and roll up balls the size of a nut. To make this easier to do, we wet our hands with sunflower oil.




  In the heated oil we put the curd balls and cook them over low heat so that they are well cooked inside.




  We put balls in portions, as they increase in size during cooking.
  At this stage, it is important to warm the oil well!






  Using a slotted spoon, remove the balls on a paper towel to remove any remaining oil.




  Then we transfer them to the dish and sprinkle with powder at will. Smart and very tasty are obtained, which are easy to cook according to our recipe.




  Enjoy your meal!

Products for curd balls

You will need such simple products:

  • eggs - 2 pcs.;
  • cottage cheese of any fat content - 200 g. Cottage cheese is suitable even from a freezer, but it must be completely thawed and squeezed out of the liquid if it has appeared.
  • granulated sugar - 3 tbsp .;
  • salt - 1 pinch;
  • baking powder (baking powder for dough) - 1 tsp;
  • premium flour - 1.5 cups;
  • odorless vegetable oil - 0.5 l;
  • icing sugar - 50 g.

This amount of food is enough for you to prepare a not very large portion of balls. They are enough only for an evening tea party for a family of 3-4 people. If you are waiting for guests or want the dessert to stay the next day, prepare balls from a double portion of products.

How to make dough for curd balls?

The dough is done in an elementary way:

  • Sift the flour through a sieve and mix it with baking powder.
  • Pass the cottage cheese through a meat grinder or rub through a small metal strainer. This is necessary so that there are no extra lumps in the dairy product.
  • Drive eggs into the cottage cheese and add sugar and salt. Stir the mixture until smooth.
  • Pour the flour into the curd base and knead the dough with a spoon. It should turn out to be very soft, but in such a way that balls can be made from it with your hands. If the dough turned out to be liquidy, then add a couple more tablespoons of flour.


How to fry curd balls?

Frying technology is

  • Pour a little flour onto a flat, large plate and spread it evenly.
  • Using a coffee spoon, scoop up a little curd dough and put it on flour. Helping yourself with your hands, roll the ball from the dough. Place the balls on a chopping board dusted with flour until frying. Make the balls small, because when they fry, they will increase in size by about half. If you want, you can prepare balls with filling. To do this, put a piece of chocolate or any nut inside each serving of dough.
  • In a deep, high saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. As soon as a light smoke appears above the oil, reduce the power of the stove to an average. If this is not done, then the balls in very hot oil will burn on the outside, and inside may not bake. Determine the readiness of the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it - it should quickly emerge and when frying on one side, it will independently turn over to the other side.
  • Put in hot oil only 3-4 balls at a time. If you put them more, then when the balls swell, they will prevent each other from turning over. Also, from a large number of balls, the oil cools faster and the balls may not bake.
  • Remove the rosy balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and immediately spread them on paper towels. The paper absorbs excess fat from baking.
  • Put the balls dried from the butter in an even layer on the dish and grind with powdered sugar.


How to serve curd balls?

In addition to powdered sugar, which is a classic way of serving dessert, balls can be decorated in another way:

  • Pour them with melted dark chocolate and sprinkle with coconut.
  • Dip the balls in jam syrup and roll in white chocolate chips.
  • Give condensed milk to the balls, into which everyone at the table can dip them.
