    Can I use cream cheese instead of the farmers cheese for this recipe?

      Farmers cheese works best. However yes you can use cream cheese. When mixing ingredients together, please insure that your dough you can roll the balls and press them into pancake shape. You should feel if you need to add more flour. But don’t add too much.
      Please let me know if you make them and how they came out
