Cheese Latkes

Author: Devoiry Roth

Ingredients

  • 1 lb farmers cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 3 tbsp sour cream

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Blend using a hand blender or mix very well by hand.
  • Lightly grease a non stick skillet or griddle. Place a heaping tablespoon of the batter in pan and cook until bottoms are lightly brown. Carefully flip over and cook the second side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with some confectioners’ sugar.

Notes

Don’t have sour cream? You can omit the sour cream and milk and replace it with a rich yogurt such as J & J Deluxe. Just add an additional egg.

      I never tired freezing them. You can make it the day before and rewarm it.

        I k ow this is an old post but I use cottage cheese when I don’t have farmer and just add a little extra flour to keep it from being too runny. Yum!

    If replacing with yogurt should use plain or vanilla?

      I always use strawberry delux, but vanilla should work well.

    Best recipe!! Been making these for 15+ years!! You can freeze them and then reheat in the oven on a cookie sheet (although I rarely have any left to freeze!). Serve topped with sour cream and raspberry preserves. Yum!!

    These are delicious! I make them all the time. Recipe is originated from one of the popular cookbooks.

      If that’s correct we would like to credit the recipe properly. Please let us know what cookbook it’s from. Before we posted it we researched it and it was a family recipe passed down.
