Papanaşi
(Sweet Cheese Dumplings Rolled in Bread Crumbs and Sugar)
Here's a Transylvanian dish of papanaşi. Papanaşii are a traditional dessert all over the country,
but you will find them
mostly fried if you order them in restaurants (see photo #8). Here's the recipe for boiled papanasi.
Ingredients for 6 servings:
- 500 g (approx. 1 lb ) farmer’s cheese
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsp cream of wheat
- 5 tbsp bread crumbs
- 50 g olive oil
- 4 tbsp sugar
1. In a bowl mix the cheese, eggs, and cream of wheat.
>2. With your hands covered in flour take cheese out of the bowl and squeeze to make balls some 5 cm (1 ½ in) in diameter. Place them on a dish.
