Easy Ricotta Cheese Doughnuts

Показать описание

These doughnuts decorated with sour cream and jam are so easy to make and taste amazing! The dough is made with farm cheese which may be slightly tricky to find in shops, so I'll have the recipe written below. When I had filmed this video, I used homemade farm cheese because I had lots of milk to use up, but ALL ricotta works too. Recently, I tried making these using all ricotta, because I was short of time and they turned out very tasty. I couldn't see a difference either. To be clear, it was 500g of ricotta, and I only used one egg (still the same quantity of flour though). An important step when using ricotta is to place it on top of a sieve to take out all the juice that may be at the top. This is a fool-proof recipe that works every time, so if you follow my instructions you're sure to get a super delicious Ricotta Cheese Doughnut.

FARM CHEESE RECIPE:
This recipe makes 500g of farm cheese [for these doughuts you only need 250g]
You will need...
4 liters of milk
lemon juice from 1-2 lemons

Method:
Pour the milk into a saucepan over low heat. When the milk is starting to boil, cut a lemon in half and add the juice on top of a sieve to prevent the seeds from falling into the milk. You could use vinegar instead of the lemon juice if you wished, just four or five spoons required. Start mixing gently using a large cooking spoon. At once you should see the mixture starting to separate. Don't keep the mixture on the heat for long, because it will harden and get quite tough. On top of a large bowl, place a sieve and on top of that place some cheesecloth. Pour in the milk and lemon juice mixture and leave overnight. That is the recipe for homemade farm cheese! It can stay up to one week in the fridge, wrapped nicely in a bag. You can use it to make these Ricotta Cheese Doughnuts or just spread on top of a bread slice for breakfast. If you are going to put it on some toast, I'd reccomend adding some salt.

INGREDIENTS:
250g Farm Cheese (recipe above)
2 eggs, room temperature
250g ricotta (extra details above)
90g granulated sugar
Orange Zest (about 1 tbsp)
20g vanilla sugar (or extra granulated sugar)
A pinch of salt
300g plain flour
1 tsp baking soda

Sour Cream
Raspberry or Blackberry Jam

NOTE: In the video below I showed you how to make blackberry jam, but the same steps and measurements apply to raspberry jam, just use raspberries instead.
