Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to break them.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C).
  6. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, drop the batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Fry until the donut bites are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip them carefully.
  8. Remove the bites from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Let the donut bites cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Chef’s Tips

  • Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for even cooking and to prevent the bites from absorbing too much oil.
  • For a sweeter bite, consider dusting them with powdered sugar before serving.
  • These donut bites can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days but are best enjoyed fresh.
