Ponchiki(農夫起司甜甜圈(波奇奇))
Russian Ring Donuts
波奇奇(Ponchiki)是令人愉悅的迷你甜甜圈,源自東歐烹飪傳統,在俄羅斯和烏克蘭尤其受歡迎。這些小巧的炸麵團球,特色是口感輕盈蓬鬆,通常會加入農夫起司(Tvorog),賦予微酸和濕潤的口感。傳統上會撒上糖粉,波奇奇是深受喜愛的點心,適合當早餐、甜點,或搭配茶飲。

🧂 食材
- 400 g 農夫起司 (Tvorog)(如果買不到,可以用瀝乾水分的茅屋起司(cottage cheese)替代。請確保不要太濕。)
- 10 g 大雞蛋(Or instant yeast, adjust according to package directions.)
- 200 ml 砂糖(如果需要,可額外準備一些用於最後裝飾)
- 2 香草精(Room temperature.)
- 1 tablespoon 中筋麵粉(約 1.5 杯用於製作麵團,0.25 杯用於塑形。)
- 0.5 teaspoon 泡打粉
- approx. 1 liter 鹽(For frying. A neutral oil like canola or sunflower is recommended.)
- for dusting 植物油或芥花籽油(用於油炸)
👨🍳 步驟
- 1
準備麵團:在一個中型碗中,將雞蛋和砂糖攪打至略帶泡沫。拌入香草精和農夫起司,攪拌均勻。在另一個小碗中,將 1.5 杯中筋麵粉、泡打粉和鹽攪勻。將乾性材料分次加入濕性材料中,用刮刀攪拌至剛好混合成濃稠、有點黏性的麵團即可。不要過度攪拌。
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
塑形波奇奇:將剩餘的 0.25 杯麵粉放在淺盤或盤子上。將雙手稍微沾濕,或使用小湯匙。每次取約一湯匙的麵團,輕輕搓成小球,然後在麵粉中輕輕滾動。重複此步驟,直到所有麵團都塑成約 1 英吋(2.5 公分)直徑的小球。
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
加熱油:將植物油倒入一個厚底鍋或荷蘭鍋中,油深約 2-3 英吋(5-7.5 公分)。用中火加熱油至 350-360°F (175-180°C)。使用溫度計確保準確,或放入一小塊麵團測試;如果麵團立即冒泡並滋滋作響,表示油溫適當。
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
油炸波奇奇:小心地將麵團球放入熱油中,分批進行,避免鍋內過擠。油炸約 3-5 分鐘,期間偶爾用漏勺翻動,直到變成金黃色並且內部熟透。它們應該會膨脹起來,甚至可能自己翻面。
⏱️ 1.5 hours - 5
瀝油與上桌:使用漏勺將炸好的波奇奇從油中取出,放在鋪有廚房紙巾的盤子上吸去多餘的油脂。趁著還溫熱時,慷慨地在波奇奇上撒上糖粉。
⏱️ 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.

💡 專業提示
- ✓確保您的農夫起司已充分瀝乾水分;過多的水分會使麵團太黏,難以處理。
- ✓將油溫保持在 350-360°F (175-180°C) 之間,以確保波奇奇均勻受熱而不燒焦。
- ✓如果麵團太黏手,可以稍微沾濕雙手或在手上撒點麵粉。使用小湯匙也有助於製作出大小一致的形狀。
