🍩 Hungarian Cottage Cheese Donuts – Túrófánk 🇭🇺
A simple, nostalgic dessert made with just a few ingredients, Túrófánk is a beloved classic across Hungary. You don’t need yeast, and you don’t even need to wait for the dough to rise! Just mix, fry, and fall in love 💛
🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~20 small donuts)
✔️ 250g (about 1 cup) túró or dry cottage cheese
✔️ 2 large eggs 🥚
✔️ 4 tbsp sugar
✔️ 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌼
✔️ 100g (about ¾ cup) all-purpose flour
✔️ 1 tsp baking powder
✔️ Pinch of salt
✔️ Grated lemon zest (optional, but so nice 🍋)
✔️ Oil for frying 🛢️
✔️ Powdered sugar and jam for serving 🍓
👩🍳 How to Make Túrófánk
🔸 1. Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, mash the túró (or dry cottage cheese) with a fork.
Add eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt.
Mix well, then fold in flour and baking powder.
You’ll get a sticky, soft dough—don’t overmix!
🔸 2. Heat the Oil
In a medium pot, heat oil to about 170–180°C (340–360°F). Use a thermometer if you can—or test with a small drop of dough; it should bubble and float to the top.
🔸 3. Shape and Fry
Using a small spoon or two teaspoons, scoop small portions of dough and gently drop into the hot oil.
Fry in batches for 3–4 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown all over ✨🍩
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
🔸 4. Serve with Love ❤️
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with apricot jam, raspberry jam, or just as is!
💡 Tips & Variations
💫 Use ricotta or farmer’s cheese if túró isn’t available.
💫 Add a bit of rum or lemon juice for extra aroma!
💫 You can even roll them in cinnamon sugar for a twist 😍
