INSTRUCTIONS
Beat eggs and sugar for a few minutes until pale and increased somewhat in volume. Beat in farmer cheese. Add butter, vanilla extract and salt. Slowly stir in enough matzo meal to make a batter that holds together. In a heavy skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil (or butter or margarine). Drop the batter by tablespoonsful into the hot oil. Flatten the pancakes slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side; flip and fry the second side for about 3 minutes. Don't crowd the pan and add more fat to the skillet as needed. Drain latkes on paper towels and serve sprinkled with cinnamon. Pass sour cream and/or jam separately. These can be served for lunch or supper main course during Passover week, or as a dessert after any meal. For a main course, precede it with a big salad or a large steamed, braised artichoke.
