Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup dried tart cherries
1 7.5-ounce package farmer's cheese, drained
2 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature
4 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely chopped lightly toasted walnuts
3 tablespoons (about) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil
Cherry-Apple Sauce

Steps:

  • Place cherries in small bowl with enough hot water to cover; soak until plumped, about 10 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
  • Blend both cheeses, egg yolks, and vanilla extract in processor just until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add flour, sugar, and salt and mix in, using on/off turns, just until blended. Transfer batter to large bowl. Mix in reserved cherries and chopped walnuts.
  • Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until stiff but not dry. Gently fold whites into batter in 3 additions.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into skillet and spread to 2 1/2-inch rounds. Cook until bottoms are golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Using slotted spatula, transfer latkes to plates. Add more butter and oil as necessary and allow to get hot before adding more batter. Serve immediately with Cherry-Apple Sauce .

The latkes were a little too dry for my taste, but the cherry-apple sauce helped to moisten them up.
