Making DEEP FRIED CHEESE DONUTS Romanian Papanasi | DAY 13 VLOGMAS 2020

Start by preparing the ingredients for the papanasi.

Beat together eggs and sugar in a bowl.

Sieve the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid, resulting in drier cheese.

Combine all the ingredients together to make the dough.

Roll the dough into balls, making one larger ball and one smaller ball to form the donut shape.

Douse the dough in flour to prevent stickiness while shaping.

Shape the larger ball into a donut with the smaller ball on top.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the donuts.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the donuts to the oil.

Set a timer for four minutes to fry the donuts, flipping them halfway through.

Check the donuts to see if they are floating; if not, they might be submerged.

After four minutes, check if the donuts are cooked through by cutting one open.

Prepare the topping by adding sour cream and jam to the cooked donuts.

Construct the donut by placing sour cream in the middle, adding the smaller ball on top, and then adding more sour cream and jam on top.
