Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 230 g 2% cottage cheese
  • 150 g flour
  • 1 egg (optional extra yolk for colour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 jalapeños, finely diced or blended
  • Salt to taste

Filling

  • 2 Light Babybel cheeses, cut into 4 pieces each

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix all the dough ingredients together.

  2. 2

    Let the dough rest in the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    The dough will be very sticky, so wet your hands and generously dust your work surface with flour.

  4. 4

    Take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball. Place a piece of cheese in the centre, seal the dough around it, and roll again.

  5. 5

    Repeat with the remaining dough to make 8 donuts.

  6. 6

    Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 16–18 minutes, or until golden.
