Ingredients

350g pressed farmer’s cheese
2 yolks + enough white to make the total be 50g
45g sugar
2g salt (3/4 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher or a heaping 1/4 tsp table salt)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

Mix the farmer's cheese, eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla with a potato masher. Stir in the flour with a spatula. Stir in the raisins. Cover a baking sheet or cutting board with a parchment paper or foil and sprinkle with flour. Flour the counter generously, dump the mixture onto it and roll into a thick log that is 8-9 inches long (20-23cm). Cut into one inch slices and shape into cakes as shown in the video. Place onto the prepared parchment paper. Cook right away or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerating, cover loosely with plastic wrap after the first 30 minutes.
