Gather @egg{2}, @all-purpose flour{200%g} and @sour cherry{200%g}.

Knead the @farmer's cheese{400%g}, eggs, @sugar{3%tbsp} and @baking soda{1%tsp} together, then work in the flour just until a soft dough forms — don't overwork it.

Divide the dough and shape each portion into a ring with a small ball alongside, like a doughnut and its hole.

Heat the @sunflower oil{500%ml} to 165°C.

Fry the rings and balls until puffed and deep bronze all over, about 8 minutes, turning once. ~{8%minutes}

Lift onto paper towels to drain briefly.

Stack: ring, @sour cream{200%g} flood, cherry jam, ball on top. Serve immediately and cancel plans.
