1 cup flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt
Mix all ingredients together and fry in 2/3 cup of hot oil until golden brown. Do not over-fry or they will be too dry.

what is farmer’s cheese? i live in Israel, so I’m looking for a good substitute.
farmer’s cheese is a very dry cottage cheese. suggest you drain dry cottage cheese to get even more liquid out. If too liquidy, just add a little more flour.
i use cheddar, and everyone who has shared them loved them
