Ponchiki(俄式奶酪炸甜甜圈 (Ponchiki))
Russian Ring Donuts
Ponchiki 是令人愉悦的、一口大小的甜甜圈,源自东欧美食传统,在俄罗斯和乌克兰尤为受欢迎。这些小小的炸面团球的特点是口感轻盈、蓬松,通常通过加入农家奶酪(farmer's cheese)来实现,这种奶酪带来微妙的酸度和湿润感。Ponchiki 传统上撒上糖粉,是一种深受喜爱的美食,非常适合作为早餐、甜点或搭配茶饮。

🧂 食材
- 400 g 农家奶酪 (Tvorog)(如果买不到,可以用滤干水分的茅屋芝士 (cottage cheese) 代替。确保不要太湿。)
- 10 g 大号鸡蛋(Or instant yeast, adjust according to package directions.)
- 200 ml 白砂糖(如果喜欢,还可以额外准备一些用于撒粉)
- 2 香草精(Room temperature.)
- 1 tablespoon 中筋面粉(面团大约需要 1.5 杯,整形用大约 0.25 杯。)
- 0.5 teaspoon 泡打粉
- approx. 1 liter 盐(For frying. A neutral oil like canola or sunflower is recommended.)
- for dusting 植物油或菜籽油(用于油炸)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
制作面团:在一个中等大小的碗中,打散鸡蛋和白砂糖,直到混合物略微起泡。加入香草精和农家奶酪,搅拌均匀。在一个单独的小碗中,混合 1.5 杯中筋面粉、泡打粉和盐。将干性材料分次加入湿性材料中,用刮刀搅拌,直到刚刚混合成浓稠、粘手的面团。不要过度搅拌。
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
整形 Ponchiki:将剩余的 0.25 杯面粉放在一个浅盘或盘子里。将手稍微弄湿,或者使用一个小号冰淇淋勺。每次取大约一汤匙的面团,轻轻滚成球状,然后在那层薄薄的面粉里滚一下。重复此步骤,直到所有面团都滚成直径约 1 英寸的小球。
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
加热油:在厚底锅或荷兰锅中倒入约 2-3 英寸深的植物油。用中火加热油至 350-360°F (175-180°C)。使用温度计以确保准确,或者通过丢一小块面团到油里测试;它应该会立刻发出滋滋声并冒泡。
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
炸 Ponchiki:小心地将面团球放入热油中,分批进行,以免锅内拥挤。炸约 3-5 分钟,偶尔用漏勺翻动,直到它们变成金黄色并且炸熟。它们应该会膨胀起来,甚至可能自行翻转。
⏱️ 1.5 hours - 5
沥油与享用:用漏勺将炸好的 Ponchiki 从油中捞出,放在铺有厨房纸巾的盘子上吸去多余的油。趁热,在 Ponchiki 上慷慨地撒上糖粉。
⏱️ 15 minutes - 6
Second rise (optional but recommended): Place the cut ponchiki on parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving some space between them. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest for another 20-30 minutes while you prepare for frying. This helps them become even lighter.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 7
Heat the oil: In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat about 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) of vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should reach a temperature of 350-360°F (175-180°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accuracy. If you don't have a thermometer, a small piece of dough dropped into the oil should sizzle immediately and float to the surface, turning golden brown in about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 8
Fry the ponchiki: Carefully lower 3-4 ponchiki at a time into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the oil temperature. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and puffed up. They should float to the surface.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 9
Drain and dust: Remove the fried ponchiki from the oil with the slotted spoon, letting excess oil drip back into the pot. Place them on a wire rack set over paper towels to drain further. While still warm, generously dust them with powdered sugar.

💡 专业技巧
- ✓确保您的农家奶酪已充分沥干水分;过多的水分会使面团过于粘手,难以操作。
- ✓将油温保持在 350-360°F (175-180°C) 之间,以确保 Ponchiki 受热均匀,不易烧焦。
- ✓如果面团太粘手,可以稍微弄湿手或撒点面粉。使用小号冰淇淋勺也有助于制作出形状均匀的面团球。
