Cheese Latke Recipe
<<
At Chanukah, a good Cheese Latke recipe can come in very handy. Cheese pancakes served with applesauce and sour cream are delicious to serve at holidays or at any get-together with family and friends. There are two recipes below to consider: the first recipe recommends that eggs are separated and that stiffly beaten whites are folded into the batter; the second recipe uses whole eggs and includes sour cream as an ingredient. Read these recipes over and choose one for the upcoming holiday.
