👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a bowl, mash the cheese well with a fork.
   • Add eggs, semolina, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest.
   • Mix until combined.
   • Cover and let it rest in the fridge for 30–60 minutes (so semolina absorbs moisture and firms up the dough).
2. Form the dumplings:
   • Wet your hands and shape the mixture into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
3. Cook the dumplings:
   • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer.
   • Carefully lower the dumplings into the water.
   • Simmer gently until they rise to the surface, then cook for 2–3 minutes more.
   • Remove with a slotted spoon and let excess water drain.
4. Prepare the coating:
   • In a pan, melt butter and add breadcrumbs.
   • Toast over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant.
5. Coat the dumplings:
   • Roll each cooked dumpling in the toasted breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
6. Serve warm:
   • Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
   • Top with sour cream or fruit preserves for extra authenticity!
