Ingredients | Casero Cheese

1 cup drained cottage cheese

1 egg

¼ cup half-and-half

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

4 cups vegetable oil for frying

3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat the cottage cheese and egg together. Stir in the half-and-half, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and nutmeg. Mix until just combined.

Fill a deep pot to the 2-inch mark with oil. Heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop batter by rounded tablespoons into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve hot!

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
