Method

Mash the cottage cheese or press it through a sieve and mix with the eggs, sugar and salt.
Mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the cottage cheese in parts. Knead a soft dough that sticks slightly to your hands.
Divide the dough into pieces, roll into ropes and cut into chunks. Roll them into walnut-sized balls.
Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan to 170 °C so the balls are fully submerged. Fry for 3–4 minutes over medium heat, turning, until golden.
Place the doughnuts on a paper towel, let cool and dust with powdered sugar.
