Place the cottage cheese in a bowl and crumble. Add 2 eggs (Only 1 if you use ricotta), the flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract and the lemon zest and stir to combine.
Heat the oil to medium temperature, I used a smaller pan with about 2 inches of oil, it was enough to give a good depth for the doughnuts.
With the help of 2 teaspoons scoop and drop little balls into the hot oil and fry each side until golden brown, it takes about 4-5 minutes.
Transfer the donuts to the paper towel and and continue to fry the rest of the dough until finished.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with apricot jam or any jam you love.
