The recipe with the photo was made step by step mainly in order to clearly demonstrate to you all the accessibility and straightforwardness of the process. The delicacy comes out high-calorie, but terribly tasty. These magnificent, gentle balls, with an amazingly porous crumb, fly off the table instantly, without even having time to cool down properly! One has only to turn away to start the next batch of frying test into the oil, the small nimble handles manage to drag a couple of balls from the plate. Therefore, despite the fact that I bake them quite often, I have never been able to calculate how many exactly balls get. About 30 pieces approximately. Cooking such balls is very fast. While the dough is kneading, warm the frying oil. And then literally 15-20 minutes. frying - and you have on your plate a whole hill of fragrant golden curd balls flaunting!

Ingredients:

• cottage cheese (I have 5%) - 400 g,
• sugar - 4 tbsp. l.,
• salt - 0.5 tsp.,
• egg - 3 pcs.,
• vanillin - 1 sachet,
• flour - 300 g
• baking powder - 1 tsp.,
• vegetable oil (for frying) - about 500 ml.

How to cook curd balls

The dough for such cottage cheese balls is kneaded very quickly, it does not need to settle, because frying oil can be set to warm up immediately, as you proceed to knead the dough. For frying, it is better to take a small container with a thick bottom and high sides. I have a 2.5 liter saucepan. It is necessary to take oil so that the balls completely drown in it, I took 0.5 liters.

After we put the cottage cheese in a bowl, fill it with sugar, add salt and knead the mass until smooth. If your cottage cheese is soft, stir it well with a spoon. It is better to kill granular cottage cheese with a blender - then the surface of the finished balls will be flat and smooth, and the crumb uniform and without small curd patches.

Then we introduce eggs and vanilla into the sweet curd mass. Knead one more time, this time just a spoon.

Lastly, add flour and baking powder to the dough. Both are necessarily sifted. If the baking powder is not at hand, replace it with 0.5 tsp. soda slaked with a little lemon juice or vinegar. In this case, we first introduce soda into the dough, knead it quickly, then add the sifted flour. In any case, adding flour is better gradually, because depending on its quality and consistency of cottage cheese, the flour can go a little more or a little less.

Ready-made curd dough is homogeneous, soft, sticky, but at the same time quite dense. If you put it in a spoon, it easily rests on it and does not fall down.

The oil should already be warming up at this point, you can immediately start frying the balls. To do this, we form balls of the size of a small walnut from dough, wetting our hands with water, or using spoons for convenience. It is not necessary to make balls perfectly round and even - when frying they increase in size, becoming lush and smooth.

Dip the formed balls in oil and fry until a pleasant appetizing golden color, making sure that when immersed, the balls do not stick together and do not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Removing the finished balls from the oil directly on what is able to absorb excess fat. I have a small pile of ordinary paper towels.

Serve the cooled balls with jam, honey, condensed milk or just sprinkled with powdered sugar. Very tasty!

This dish is perfect for the disposal of cottage cheese, which is scary to eat without heat treatment, and it is a pity to throw it away, because there are no extraneous odors yet. Of course, it can be prepared from fresh cottage cheese.

Put the finished balls into the heated oil. Make sure that the ball does not stick to the bottom. As soon as it pops up, lay the next ball. Fry the balls until the desired color is obtained, as in the picture.
  I put the finished balls on a sieve. To make glass with them vegetable oil. When all the balls are fried, put them on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. To powder lay evenly, take a dry sieve. Put a little powder in it and sift it over our balls. This method is useful to you in the future. Curd balls, also called curd donuts. They are eaten simply with tea, and also served with jam, honey, sour cream, whipped cream, etc. Bon Appetit!!!

How to cook curd balls fried in oil

This is a budget and tasty dish, the preparation of which does not take much time. Prepare them very quickly. While mixing, test the oil for frying. And then literally 15-20 minutes of frying - and you have on your plate a whole bunch of fragrant gold and yellow balls decorating!
  They are prepared from ordinary dough or yeast. A classic product can be stuffed, have sugar sprinkles, glaze or chocolate.

Cottage cheese selection

It is best to use homemade cottage cheese for balls. This product should be fresh and dry enough. Curd with excess moisture will “clog” the dough and the ball will not turn out lush. For a homogeneous composition of the dough, it is extremely desirable to grind the cottage cheese, which will remove all lumps.

Frying

The total amount of oil should exceed roasting products 3-4 times.
  The optimal temperature for deep-frying is 190 C. It should be constant throughout the cooking. If you fry the balls in an insufficiently hot fat, they will absorb a lot of fat, which will make them tasteless.
  The optimal cooking time on each side is 3 minutes. Regular turning of the balls will make them evenly fried and golden.
  The deep fat used must be of high quality. Do not use old oil.

11. Curd balls / Túrógombóc

Tasty Hungarian dish.
  Structure:
  300 g of cottage cheese
  2 eggs
  50 g semolina

Cooking:

It is advisable to wipe the cottage cheese (to dry on a paper towel if it is too wet) through a sieve. Lightly salt, add the yolks of 2 eggs, semolina, mix until smooth.

  In a separate bowl, beat 2 squirrels and carefully introduce them into the curd mass. The dough is ready.
  In a spacious bowl, boil salted water. With wet hands we make small balls.

To be sure, it is better to throw one in boiling water and observe. If he holds his form, wait a few minutes, fish him out and try. There may be 2 errors: a lot of semolina or a lot of cottage cheese. If the ball breaks up - add a little semolina, if it is too dense - add more cottage cheese to the dough. If the test ball is good, boldly sculpt and throw the rest into boiling water.
  Part of the filling balls is the favorite Hungarian filling - prunes. Prunes are traditional for the original Hungarian dish. But apricots or dried apricots are also very Hungarian and tasty. Focus on your own taste.
  We are waiting for the balls to come up and keep them on low heat for 5-7 minutes.
  Melt a small amount of oil and brown the breadcrumbs in it.
  Heat the sour cream to 35-40 degrees.

  We catch the finished balls. We distribute them on heated portioned plates, pour sour cream, sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs.

You can add your favorite Hungarian apricot jam.
  You can do without all of the above and just sprinkle with powdered sugar. Anyway, it will be very tasty! Bon Appetit!

12. How to make cottage cheese balls with garlic and herbs video recipe

Bon Appetit!

Seductively appetizing, fragrant, tasty, eye-catching curd balls will appeal to everyone: from small to large. For a small amount of time spent, a plate of this cottage cheese delicacy will decorate your table.

A new recipe for a simple and delicious dessert dish. We prepare fluffy, delicate and fragrant curd balls deep-fried in oil. These rosy koloboks are especially good in the form of heat, and if you sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve with a glass of milk or a cup of tea, your home will be delighted!

The recipe for curd balls includes simple and affordable products, which, it seems to me, are always available to the hostesses in stock. I used wheat flour of the highest grade, but the first one will do (in this case, the amount of flour may differ from the specified). You can also choose cottage cheese with the fat content that you like best.

To prepare the curd balls (one might even say that they are miniature round donuts) you will need quite a lot of oil, as we will fry them in deep fat. Use any odorless vegetable oil - I’m more familiar with refined sunflower oil. In total, 40 fried balls are obtained from the specified number of ingredients, slightly larger than a ping-pong ball.

Ingredients:

Cooking in steps with a photo:

For the preparation of deep-fried curd balls we will need the following products: wheat flour (I have the highest grade, but the first one or a mixture of them will do), cottage cheese of any fat content (I use 5%), medium-sized chicken eggs (45-50 grams each), granulated sugar, baking soda and a little salt to balance the taste. In addition, for frying we take refined vegetable oil - in my case, sunflower oil.

Then in another bowl (in which you will knead the dough) we combine a couple of chicken eggs and 100 grams of granulated sugar. If you wish, you can make future curd balls more fragrant by adding a pinch of vanillin at this stage or replacing 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar with vanilla sugar. I didn’t add, because I sprinkled the finished balls with vanilla powder (I just chopped a tablespoon of homemade vanilla sugar in a coffee grinder).

Beat eggs with sugar with a mixer or whisk until the mass turns white, increases in volume, and the sweet crystals completely dissolve. After that, add 250 grams of cottage cheese to the mixture. The amount of wheat flour depends on its consistency - the drier the cottage cheese, the less flour is needed.

Once again, beat everything well so that the cottage cheese is combined with the egg mass as best as possible. It happens that cottage cheese with large grains, then it is advisable to wipe it through a sieve in advance, otherwise in the finished balls these grains will become stiff and will be felt.

In just a minute, all the products will combine and you will get a soft, delicate and practically non-sticky dough. If the dough sticks very strongly to your hands, add a little more flour (it depends on its moisture and the consistency of cottage cheese).

Let the dough lie down for about 5 minutes, and in the meantime, prepare everything for frying the billets. To do this, it is best to choose some deep and narrow enough dishes to reduce oil consumption for deep-frying to a minimum. Pour odorless vegetable oil into a saucepan or stew-pan, warm it thoroughly. There should be enough oil so that future curd donuts do not lie on the bottom of the dishes, but float freely in it.

While the butter is warming, we divide the dough into small pieces of the same size and roll each into a ball - no larger than a walnut in size. Since the dough sticks a little, when molding, you can slightly moisten your hands with water.

The oil warmed up - ideally it is believed that it is best to 160 degrees, but I warm a little less. Honestly, I'm not particularly strong in the intricacies of deep-fried cooking, but I can say one thing for sure. If the oil is not heated enough, the flour preparations will absorb it too much, and when overheated, the crust of balls will burn, and inside the crumb will remain raw (not a fact, of course, but it is quite possible). We put several billets into the hot oil (so that they float freely and do not touch each other) and fry over medium heat.
