Step 1:

In a roomy bowl, combine the eggs with the sugar.
Step 2:

Add the soft cottage cheese and pour in the kefir. If you'd rather not have bits of cottage cheese in the finished fritters, press it through a sieve first. Personally, though, I think the little curds make them taste more homemade.
Step 3:

Add the sifted flour, baking soda, and vanilla to the bowl.
Step 4:

Mix by hand or with a mixer until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to fry the fritters easily. If it looks too thin to you, add a little more flour.
Step 5:

Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot skillet. Spoon small mounds of batter onto the pan and fry for about a minute over medium heat.
Step 6:

Then flip and fry on the other side.
Step 7:

Set the finished fritters on paper towels to blot up the excess oil. Let them cool slightly and serve with jam, sweetened condensed milk, or sour cream. Enjoy!

This recipe is for everyone who loves fritters for breakfast. Making them with cottage cheese makes them not only delicious but really wholesome. Beyond breakfast, they're great for an afternoon snack or just a quick bite. They come together simply and quickly — even a beginner can manage them; you just have to follow each step. To make the fritters fluffy, you add baking soda and beat the eggs well. You also mix the batter with kefir and fold in cottage cheese. It's the kefir and cottage cheese that give the fritters their airy, porous texture, so they end up a bit like little cheese pancakes. That said, these use more flour than cheese pancakes do, so the batter stays thick and won't spread across the pan. Don't add too much oil when frying, or they'll turn out greasy. For extra flavor, besides vanilla you can add citrus zest, ground nuts, or candied fruit to the batter.
