Fold the flour into the cheese mixture gently, into a thick batter.

💡Add the flour gradually, just until the batter firms up: wet cheese needs a little more, and too much flour makes a dry, heavy pancake.
💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there's no dry flour: vigorous mixing of a batter with flour develops gluten.
3
With floured hands, shape the batter into thick rounds 6 cm across.
4
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the rounds for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.

Mix the sour cream with the sugar.
