Then add the cottage cheese and stir again. If necessary, rub the cottage cheese through a sieve or punch it with a blender. There should be no lumps or hard grains left in the cottage cheese.

Step 11

Step 11
Cool the finished donuts and sprinkle with powdered sugar. If the bottom of the donut holes has grown together, you can optionally fill the middle with jam or preserves. I didn’t fill it with anything, since my donuts retained their original shape, they just increased in size during baking. Bon appetit!
