5. For the filling, combine the softened butter and the lemon zest in a bowl, and beat until fluffy. Add the sugar, egg yolks farmer cheese, and buttermilk and beat until frothy. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites, salt and vanilla sugar. Add the lemon juice and beat to a stiff meringue.

6. Carefully fold the meringue into the farmer cheese mixture and stir in the raisins.

Cook the crepes according to the Palatschinken recipe.
