Cheesecakes, perhaps, one of the most popular dishes served for breakfast. They are good both in baked and fried.
Below we want to offer you a recipe for not quite ordinary cheesecakes.
The main secret of these cheesecakes is that turmeric is part of the dish. This spice gives the dish a bright yellow color and delicate taste. In addition, this dish does not use flour, an alternative to which is starch, which gives the cheesecakes extraordinary lightness. And interspersed with juicy and sweet berries of raisins make the food elegant and appetizing.
Ingredients:
- fat cottage cheese (9% and above) - 1 kg
- sugar - 5-6 tbsp. l
- egg - 4 pcs.
- lemon - 1 pc.
- potato starch - 2 tbsp. l
- small raisins - 1-2 tbsp. l
- turmeric - 1 tsp.
- flour - to roll
- refined sunflower oil - for frying.
Method of preparation:
Wash the lemon thoroughly with hot water to wash off the citrus wax coating, which is extremely unhealthy. Then, using a knitting knife, remove a thin yellow layer of lemon - zest.
Rinse the raisins and soak in boiling water for 5 minutes. Then put the berries on a paper towel to dry them.
Put cottage cheese in a bowl.
Add lemon zest, turmeric, starch and granulated sugar.
Pour the raisins. Stir.
Then beat the eggs (one at a time).
Mix thoroughly.
From the curd mass, form round cakes about 1 cm high and roll them from both sides in flour.
Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan and fry cheesecakes on it on both sides until golden brown.
Serve hot curd cheesecakes with sour cream.
Mistress to note:
From the resulting curd mass, you can also cook cheesecakes in the oven. Bake them at 180⁰ C for 45-50 minutes.
Sugar can be replaced with honey. It will need 3-4 tablespoons or according to your taste.
