Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry fluffy cheesecakes with semolina in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary products. I would like to note that in baking it is important that all ingredients are at the same temperature. Remove the cottage cheese and egg from the refrigerator in advance. Take thicker cottage cheese, and the cheesecakes will turn out more filling. Optimal fat content is 9-19%. The article at the link at the end of the recipe will help you choose cottage cheese.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have cottage cheese with grains, then rub it through a sieve or punch it with an immersion blender, so the cottage cheese will be homogeneous. Read about the intricacies of choosing cottage cheese in the article at the end of the recipe. Beat the egg into the cottage cheese and mix well with a fork. For a 200 pack of cottage cheese, the smallest egg, for example C2, is perfect. If you only have large eggs, add only the yolk.

Step 3

Step 3
Salt and add sugar. If you wish, it can be vanilla sugar, and also for lovers of cinnamon — a pinch of it will be very useful! Mix everything well!

Step 4

Step 4
Add 2 tbsp. spoons of semolina. Stir and leave until the semolina swells for about 10 minutes. The dough will become denser, because semolina will absorb all the moisture. Read about the intricacies of choosing semolina in the article at the end of this recipe.

Step 6
Form cheesecakes from the curd dough and roll them in a mixture of flour and semolina.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat the vegetable oil well in a thick-bottomed frying pan, preferably with a non-stick coating. The oil can be anything: olive or corn. But the main thing is that it be refined — only such oil is suitable for frying and does not burn or smoke.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the cheesecakes in the pan and reduce the heat to just below medium. Fry the cheesecakes for about 10 minutes on one side. You will learn how to choose a frying pan and oil for frying by reading the separate articles at the end of the recipe.

Step 9

Step 9
Then carefully turn the cheesecakes with semolina over, reduce the heat to low and cook until done. You may need to cover the pan with a lid.
