Name: Papanash Cheese Latkes
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 1 h 40 min
Yield: 13 large latkes
Ingredients: 9 oz soft white cheese (gvina levana) or quark (a firm, low-fat style); 1¼ cups self-rising flour; ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for flouring your hands); 2 large eggs; 1 package vanilla sugar (1 packet (about 2 tsp)); ¼ cup sugar; 1 tsp good vanilla extract; canola oil, for frying; sour cream; cherry preserves (with pieces of fruit)

How I make it

In a bowl, mix the cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and vanilla extract.
Sift the self-rising flour into a separate bowl and add it to the cheese mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about 1 hour.
Put the 1/4 cup flour in a small bowl, flour your hands, shape the mixture into latkes and set them on parchment paper.
Pour about 1/2 inch (1 cm) of oil into a skillet and heat.
Fry the latkes on both sides until golden and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Set each hot latke on a spoonful of sour cream and drizzle a little cherry preserves on top.
