1. We prepare the necessary products.

   

2. We wash the raisins and fill them with a small amount of hot water (about 70 degrees) for 15-20 minutes. After that, drain the water, dry the raisins with a napkin.
3. Rub the zest with lemon (about 1 tablespoon).
4. Bring milk to a boil and reduce heat. Add sugar, salt, vanilla sugar and zest. We mix.
5. Stirring continuously, gradually add semolina into the milk.
6. Then add the raisins, stir and continue to cook over low heat, stirring all the time, for about 1-2 minutes.
7. During this time, the mixture will thicken.
8. Sprinkle the board with flour and put the blanks on it with a spoon.

   

9. With hands dipped in water (or oiled with vegetable oil), we form small cutlets. The mass is most plastic when it is warm.
10. Break eggs into a bowl.
11. Whisk lightly.
12. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture.
13. And then roll in breadcrumbs.
14. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Fry the cutlets over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
15. Then, adding vegetable oil as needed, turn the patties over and fry on the other side.

    

16. We spread it on a napkin so that excess oil is absorbed.
17. Semolina cutlets with raisins and lemon zest are ready. If desired, we serve them with sour cream.
