Recipe by: The Jewish-American Kitchen - ISBN 0-517-08913-0 Beat the eggs and sugar for a few mins, until pale and increased somewhat in volume. Beat in the farmer cheese. Add the butter, vanilla, 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 tablespoonfuls into the hot oil. Flatten the pancakes slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry for 3 to 4 mins on the first side; flip and fry the second side for about 3 mins. Don't crowd the pan and add more fat to the skillet as needed. Drain the latkes on paper towels and serve sprinkled with cinnamon. Pass sour cream and/or jam separately. Makes 18 to 20 latkes.
