Sirniki - Farmer´s Cheese Pancakes

Place the farmer's cheese into a food processor and pulse about 10 times until it's very fine. You can also use ricotta or cottage cheese instead of the farmer's cheese, just make sure to drain all the excess liquid and maybe even squeeze it out with a cheesecloth.
Add the eggs, sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Pulse a few more times to combine.
In a small bowl, mix ½ cup flour, baking powder and salt and then add the dry ingredients to the food processor. Pulse a few more times to combine.
Add the raisins and mix them in with a spoon or spatula.
Heat 1 Tablespoon of of butter or oil in a nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Make sure that the oil is hot enough before adding the Sirniki, otherwise they will soak up the oil and be very greasy.
Place the remaining ½ cup flour into a shallow plate. I use a handy scoop to portion out this very delicate batter. It makes it MUCH easier to handle.
Dredge each Sirnik in flour. You want to dredge the Sirniki and place them immediately into the skillet.
Cook the Sirniki on medium low heat until they are golden on both sides.
Serve warm with sour cream, jam, fruit, condensed milk or honey.
