Cheese Latkes
Ingredients:
4 Eggs
1 tb Sugar
8 oz. Farmer Cheese (1 cup)
3 tb Butter; melted
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 tb Salt
1/3 c Matzo meal (1/3 to 1/2 cup)
Vegetable oil or Butter or Margarine for frying
Cinnamon
Cooking:
-
Beat eggs and sugar for a few minutes until pale and increased somewhat in volume. Beat in farmer cheese. Add butter, vanilla extract and salt. Slowly stir in enough matzo meal to make a batter that holds together.
- In a heavy skillet, heat 1/4- inch of oil (or butter or margarine). Drop the batter by tablespoonsful into the hot oil. Flatten the pancakes slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side; flip and fry the second side for about 3 minutes. Don't crowd the pan and add more fat to the skillet as needed.
-
Drain latkes on paper towels and serve sprinkled with cinnamon. Pass sour cream and/or jam separately.
Note: These can be served for lunch, dinner of dessert after any meal. If you are going to serve it as a main course it is nice to start with a big salad.
