Recipe Introduction


Michael Romanov, the first tsar of Russia, claimed that he invented this dish somewhere about 1625. This makes for a nice story, but it simply is not true. Greeks have been dining on fritters made from an identical recipe at least since the time of Plato. However, most Russians remain steadfast in the belief that the dish is theirs.


List of Ingredients




4 cups tofu "cottage cheese"
1/2 tsp. white pepper
3/4 cup GF flour blend, sifted
4 egg yolks
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
vegetable oil for frying
Tofutti soy sour cream for serving, well chilled

Recipe



Mix together the "cottage cheese" and the white pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes. Place the cheese in toweling or cheesecloth and carefully squeeze as much moisture from it as possible.

Rub the dry cheese through a sieve. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheese, flour, egg yolks, sugar and salt. Knead together well and roll into 3" (7 1/2 cm) thick tubes.

Refrigerate for about 1 hour and then slice the rolls into 2 1/2 cm. slices.

Melt 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a skillet and fry the slices until golden brown on both sides, adding butter only if the skillet becomes dry.

Serve hot with sour cream. (May be served as an appetizer or a dessert).

BL's Notes: This comes out a little similar to polenta.
