Ingredients:
1 lb farmer cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour, plus
extra flour, for dipping
2 tablespoons butter, approx
sour cream or jam, for serving
Directions:
In a food processor, pulse the farmeri? 1/2 s cheese until it is uniformly crumpled. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and 1/2 cup of flour. Pulse or mix to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour, or even overnight. The dough will remain thick but sticky.
Put approximately 1/3 cup of flour into a bowl, and use this to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Using 2 teaspoons, drop 1 1/2 i? 1/2 balls of dough into the flour, roll them round, and flatten to about 3/8i? 1/2 thick. Place them on a plate in a single layer until all the patties are all formed.
Heat a frying pan with 1 T. butter, and fry the patties on each side until golden. You will need to add more butter as you go.
Serve hot with sour cream and/or jam. This recipe will make approximately 20 small patties.
NOTE: Farmer Cheese is usually found near the cream cheese; my store sells Friendship brand. These days, the packages are just under 1/2 pound (don’t you hate this incremental downsizing?), and 2 packages will work fine.
