   How to Make Farmer Cheese Pancakes:In a large bowl combine 2 cups farmers cheese, 4 eggs, cup flour, 3 Tbsp sugar, tsp salt and tsp cinnamon. Use an electric hand mixer on medium speed and mix just until well blended.

   Place 1 tsp baking soda into a small ramekin and add 1 tsp vinegar then stir to combine. It should fizz.

   Saute in hot oil over med/low heat about 3 min per side. Flip when starting to form tiny bubbles on top.
