Boiled Papanași with Breadcrumb Crust

This is a dessert recipe after my own heart. It doesn't make a mess and it's ready in a short time. I regret not adding some ground walnuts to the crust; they would have certainly been even tastier. BUT, we learn from our mistakes, and next time I will add them😀. For about 20 pieces you need: 500g cow cheese (I left it in a sieve overnight in the fridge), 150g semolina, 2 large eggs or 3 if they are smaller, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar, lemon zest, a pinch of salt. For the crust: 5-6 tablespoons of breadcrumbs, 30g of butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar. I recommend adding a tablespoon of ground walnuts as well. The composition for the papanași is mixed in a bowl and left aside for 10-20 minutes. Meanwhile, we make the crust, for which we melt the butter in a pan and pour the breadcrumbs over it. I didn't take my eyes off it. I stirred almost continuously with a spatula. When you see it has dried well, add the sugar and leave it on the heat for another 1 minute (while stirring, of course). Remove from heat and set aside. Put a pot with PLENTY of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to boil. While the water is boiling, form the little balls—in our case, the papanași. I made them about 40g each. They will swell very little during boiling, so now is the moment to decide how big you want them. In the boiling water, drop the papanași in, slowly, one by one, and let them decide when they are ready. They will let us know when they float to the surface, but I left them for 1 extra minute to boil semi-covered with a lid. I removed them with a slotted spoon and coated them in the breadcrumb crust. They are served with sour cream mixed with sugar to taste and jam or without. They are fluffy, perfect! Enjoy!!
