Comment préparer 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!
