👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the sweet cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Ensure the cheese is well-drained to avoid a soggy dough. - 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Sifting the flour can result in lighter doughnuts. - 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: The dough should be soft enough to handle but not sticky enough to adhere excessively to your hands. - 4
Lightly flour a clean surface and your hands. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly into a disc.

Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat to 170-180°C (340-350°F).
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. Too hot and they'll burn; too cool and they'll be greasy. - 6
Carefully place 2-3 doughnuts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Turn the doughnuts gently to ensure even browning. - 7
Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve the papanasi warm, dusted with a little extra sugar, and accompanied by generous dollops of sour cream and fruit jam.
💡 Dicas Profissionais: Papanasi are best enjoyed fresh.
