Recipe for beginners: puff balls with condensed milk

Ingredients

How to make puff pastry balls

The dough, which can always be found in the supermarket, is rolled out into layers and packaged in the same way. But you will have to “reformat” it to get the balls.

We cut it into equal squares of arbitrary size, fill it with boiled condensed milk and roll it to make balls. You need to do this carefully so that there are no holes left through which the filling can leak during cooking.

Two cooking methods - deep-frying and oven

There are two ways to prepare a sweet treat - it can be fried in oil or baked.

In the first case, pour deep fat into the cauldron so that the lumps of dough drown in it halfway, heat it up and start frying. The balls cook very quickly - just have time to turn them over! To remove excess fat, dry the balls on a paper towel and place on a plate. Before serving it for tea, you need to sprinkle them powdered sugar.

You can also use an electric fryer for frying - quickly and conveniently.

If you don’t really want to fry, you can talk about how to bake condensed milk balls in the oven. We prepare the sweet semi-finished product in the same way as in the first case, only we send them not to the cauldron, but to the oven, after carefully placing them on a baking sheet at a distance of 3-4 cm. There is no need to lubricate the sheet with anything - the fat that the dough contains is enough.

After a while, when the lumps begin to brown on the bottom and top, they will need to be turned over onto an unbaked barrel so that the dough products are baked evenly. Sprinkle the finished hot balls with sweet powder.

Ingredients

  • Cottage cheese 9% - 450 g;
  • Wheat flour – 180 g;
  • Eggs – 2 pcs;
  • Sugar – 80 g;
  • Vanilla sugar - 5 g or vanillin - on the tip of a knife;

How to make fried curd balls

Cottage cheese can be used both homemade and store-bought. It is important to make sure that it is not very wet, otherwise you will need a lot more flour and the balls will turn out less airy.

Mix sugar, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt, cottage cheese and eggs in a deep bowl. Rub the curd through a sieve or carefully break up the curd lumps with a fork.

Stir the resulting slightly liquid mass until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Mix all the flour into the dough, gradually pouring it into the bowl. Don't forget to sift the flour before cooking, this will eliminate unnecessary impurities and enrich it with oxygen. Add a spoonful of baking powder there.

Avoid making the dough too stiff so that the donuts retain their fluffiness and are not too dense. The mass will stick a little to your hands and will not hold its shape well, so you need to form the balls with wet hands.

Place a deep frying pan or saucepan with vegetable oil on the fire, heat it to high fire. When the oil is hot (you can test it with a test, it should immediately sizzle and bubble), turn the heat to medium and form the curd balls. Wetting your hands in cold water, take a small amount of dough, roll it into a ball and drop it into the hot oil.

Deep fry a batch of curd balls for 7-8 minutes. If there is enough oil and it is heated to the desired state, then the balls themselves turn over in it and there is no need to help them.

After frying, remove the donuts to a plate, having previously covered it with a paper towel. This will allow excess oil to be absorbed into the paper. Lower the next portion to fry.

If you follow the recipe correctly and use the specified number of ingredients, you will get approximately the same number of donuts.

After the curd balls fried in oil have cooled, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve.

Cooking rules

  1. Flour is added to the dough for stickiness, so its maximum proportion in relation to cottage cheese is 1:1.
  2. There is no need to add too many eggs, as if they are in excess, the dessert thickens and becomes less tender. It is better to separate the whites from the yolks and use only the yolks, and the whites can be beaten with powdered sugar and served with the prepared balls as a sweet sauce.
  3. Vegetable oil for deep frying is used only once. After heating, its taste changes, which negatively affects the quality of the dish.
  4. It is best to take low-fat cottage cheese. At the same time, how fluffy the balls turn out depends on its acidity. Soda, reacting with lactic acid, causes them to increase in volume.
