Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (500g) farmers cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30g) sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tbsp (60g) semolina flour
  • 3 tbsp (30g) flour
  • fresh cherries , seeded and drained

Seasoning Mixture

  • 7 oz (200g) dried fine breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp (30g) oil
  • 1/3 cup (70g) sugar
  • cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prepare the breadcrumb mixture for coating the dumplings.

  • In a medium frying pan mix breadcrumbs with oil and cook on low-medium heat until golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. When cool enough stir in sugar and cinnamon. 

Prepare the cheese dumplings.

  • In a medium bowl mix farmers cheese with eggs and sugar. Add semolina and flour and mix until well blended. Set aside for few minutes until you prepare the cherries.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to boil then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Take a spoonful of the cheese mixture and form small balls after inserting cherries in the middle.
  • Put the dumplings into the hot water. Dumplings are done when they rise at the surface of the water, about 8-10 minutes. Using a strainer remove from water and roll them in the breadcrumbs mixture. Sprinkle the rest of the breadcrumb mixture over the dumplings and serve.
