Russian Doughnuts

Mix farmer's cheese flour eggs sugar vanilla extract and salt together in a bowl until a sticky dough forms.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls with wet hands to prevent sticking.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). The oil should be hot but not smoking. It is ready for frying if you see little air bubbles around a wooden spoon placed in the oil.

Fry a batch of the dough balls in the hot oil until golden about 2 minutes. Place doughnuts on paper towels to soak up excess oil. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
