A few weeks ago, I happened upon the phrase "cheese latke".
Cheese latke? "According to some food experts, the Hanukkah latke dates back to 13th-century southern Italy. It was a ricotta cheese pancake — sans potato — and unlike its Ashkenazi counterpart, the Sephardic creation wasn’t even called latkes... These cheese pancakes were called cassola when the recipe was brought to Rome after Sephardim traveled north from Spanish-controlled southern Italy in 1492 following their expulsion at the onset of the Inquisition."
So of course I had to try them! The recipe is really simple.
They were really tasty, but not at all the same type of foodstuff as the crispy fried potato ones. They are more like pancakes. Calcium-rich pancakes, perfect for breakfast with a healing bone fracture!

This is what we woke up to yesterday (April 30th). Happy spring, Fairbanks!
