Ingredients

1 lbs dry curd (farmer) cheese - Friendship Farmer Cheese is the best, but California style cottage cheese will work as well

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

lemon zest of 1/2 lemon

1/3 cup raisins, dried cherries or cranberries

all purpose flour

cooking oil

Directions

Mash cheese with the wooden spoon

Stir in eggs sugar and salt and mix well, until egg is evenly distributed

Add cinnamon, raisins, lemon zest and stir some more

Start adding flour in small batches and stir, until thick dough forms

Fold the dough out on a board and roll it into a ball

With your bare hands, tear off pieces of dough the size of a nectarine or large plum, form balls, drench them in flour.

Press each ball down on the board, using your three middle fingers - to about 1/2 thick "patty"

Heat 4-5 tbsp cooking oil in a skillet

Fry cheese patties on both sides over medium heat, until pleasantly browned and not too dark

Remove from oil with slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain excess fat.

Serve with sour cream on the side

GRANDPA'S VARIATION: Skip the sugar and dried fruit. Add more salt.

These turned out so good! I used homemade tvorog and fried them in sunflower oil. Thank you for putting this up, reminded me how much I loved these for breakfast.
