These deep-fried Cheese Fritters are similar to a traditional Jewish treat, and though I love to get my fill of sufganiyot during Hanukkah, these fried babies are my absolute favorite. Deliciously crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they are quick to prepare and easy to cook. The batter comes together in just 15 minutes, and you will need only a few simple ingredients to whip it up.
These amazing cheese fritters are at their best served straight out of the pan while still hot. You can serve them alongside warmed homemade jelly or jam for dipping or just dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Either way, they are addictively delicious!
To make the Cheese Fritters, you will need the following ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup drained cottage cheese and 1 egg.
Stir in ¼ cup half-and-half, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg and mix until just combined.
Fill a deep pot with 4 cups of oil and heat to 375 °F.
Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Dust the fritters with confectioners' sugar and serve hot!
