Fluffy cottage cheese donuts with a filling: no yeast needed

Cottage cheese donuts are a very simple and quick dessert to make for a quick tea. They are made based on a universal cottage cheese dough that does not require yeast. You can make them with a filling: jam, jam, chocolate, cream, or condensed milk. Or just serve them with powdered sugar.
