Great pick! 🇭🇺 Túrófánk (Hungarian cottage cheese donuts) are light, fluffy little fried donuts made with túró (a type of Hungarian curd cheese, similar to farmer’s cheese or dry cottage cheese). They’re mildly sweet, slightly tangy, and often served dusted with powdered sugar and a dollop of jam or sour cream.
