Cheese Kreplach
Can I make a cheese kreplach with ricotta cheese? I don't have farmer cheese. Also, would I boil them, bake them or fry them? Thank you. RobertaReplies:
HI Roberta! Ricotta might be a bit looser than farmer cheese, so be careful that the mixture isn't too wet.
Thank you, Chaia. Would I boil them like I do for meat or bake or fry them like a blintze?
Boil them. But sometimes, when I throw caution, and calories, to the wind, I fry them a bit to get them crispy.
