North Croatian Farmers Cheese Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g farmer cheese (fresh)
    60 g lard (must be pork, but oil can do)
    3 eggs
    250 g semolina
    5 g salt
Preparation
    Mix well whole eggs and lard. Drain the cheese and add into eggs. Add whole semolina, mix well and leave at least two hours in refrigerator. Longer it stays in refrigerator, better dumplings.
    Heat large pot with water until it boils. Keep boiling.
    Soak your hands in cold water and make balls; Golf-ball size. Put them one after another into boiling water and cook until they start to float on the surface and than 3-5 more minutes. It really depends how hard are your dumplings (that means you have to stick to the recipe).
    To serve as a side dish to meat and sauce, fry some breadcrumbs on butter and put the dumplings into the pan, and fry with breadcrumbs just to stick it to the dumplings. Serve warm.
