Lithuanian Cheese Pancakes

Press the farmer's cheese through a sieve until the mixture is smooth and even.

Add the eggs, sugar, and salt, and mix until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine the wheat flour with the baking powder, add it to the cheese mixture, and quickly knead a soft dough; do not overwork it.

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shape it into a log, and divide it into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece into a round patty about 2 cm thick, dusting lightly with flour if needed.

Heat a skillet over medium heat, pour in the oil, and add the butter.

Arrange the pancakes without crowding the pan, cover with a lid, and fry for 5–6 minutes on each side until deep golden-brown; if the bottom browns too quickly, reduce the heat.

Let the pancakes rest for 1 minute, then serve hot with sour cream.
