Cheese Latkes 1

Dairy, Vegetarian, Yeast Free
Serves 6-8 depending how much you love them!

Try a different latke for a change and remember Judith and Holofernes and the salty cheese. These are slightly sweet - the vanilla but you can leave it out and put in some thyme instead to alter the taste. A nice breakfast all year round too.

4 eggs
100g (4oz) cream or curd cheese
250g (8oz) hard cheese - grated
50g (2oz) potato or gluten free flour
seasoning
½ tsp vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
Oil for frying

Separate the eggs

Whisk the egg whites to a soft peak stage and set aside

Mix all the other ingredients together thoroughly. Fold 2 tbsp of the egg whites with a metal spoon (this loosens the mixture but does not break down the air bubbles as much as a wooden spoon), now fold in remaining egg whites, season.

Heat oil in shallow frying pan

Using a tablespoon drop in 2-3 tablespoons of this batter into the oil, latke/pancake and allow to set and bubble on top (about 2 minutes) now turn and cook on the other side.

Keep warm while you fry the remaining latkes.
