Fried Cheese Dough Rings

You've got to try these — a real treat for the kids! These little rings are easy to make from a handful of ingredients you always have on hand. Kids will happily pitch in cutting out the rings, and maybe some shapes too. You'll love the flavor — crisp and crumbly, and your hand just keeps reaching for more, wanting to eat them and eat them until they're gone! The only thing that stops you is how rich they are. But we'll turn a blind eye to that for now, because sometimes you just want to treat the kids — and yourself — to these wonderful rings with a cup of tea or coffee.

Cooking method

Step 1:

Mix up a simple dough. Grate the processed cheese on the medium holes of a grater — pop it in the freezer for about fifteen minutes first so it grates more easily. Add the eggs, lightly beaten with a fork, along with the mayonnaise, sugar, and baking soda. Stir everything well, then gradually work in the sifted flour and knead the dough. It comes out smooth and easy to work with.
Step 2:

Roll the dough out about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Cut out ring shapes using two glasses of different diameters. Gather up the dough scraps, roll them back into a ball, roll it out, and cut more rings — no waste! You can also fry the little centers left from cutting; they turn into tender, soft cookies.
Step 3:

Fry the rings in well-heated vegetable oil on both sides. Set them on a paper towel to blot off as much oil as possible from these already very rich rings.
Step 4:

Happily, you end up with plenty of these appetizing rings. They look like they've got something extra in them beyond the listed ingredients, but those flecks are actually little bits of cheese fried right into the dough.

If you're a certain age, you've probably heard of — and even tasted — rings like these. Plenty of people remember them from lean Soviet times, when those "everyman" cheese wedges could almost always be found in any store and turned into a little culinary masterpiece. Yes, those were the days when home cooks worked real wonders, getting creative during shortages to treat their families to something special and tasty. The recipe may be half-forgotten now, with shops full of all kinds of pastries, but the taste of this treat is worth revisiting!
