Zubereitung von North Croatian Farmers Cheese Dumplings
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of lard (or vegetable oil for vegetarian option).
- Drain 250g of farmer's cheese (similar to ricotta) and gently add it to the egg mixture.
- Gradually add 150g of whole semolina, mixing well until a dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (longer is better!).
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Soak your hands in cold water to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into golf-ball sized dumplings.
- Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water, one at a time. Cook until they float to the surface (approximately 5-7 minutes), then cook for an additional 3-5 minutes for firmer dumplings.
- **For savory serving:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan. Add 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown. Add the cooked dumplings and toss to coat in breadcrumbs.
- **For dessert serving:** Sprinkle the cooked dumplings with sugar and cinnamon. You can also add poppy seeds, raisins, chocolate sauce, or vanilla sauce.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
