Syrniki
Syrniki is a popular Russian and Ukrainian dish made from cottage cheese. They are essentially fried pancakes or fritters made with cottage cheese, eggs, flour, and sugar. They are typically served for breakfast or as a dessert with sour cream, jam, or honey.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (or farmer's cheese)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Optional toppings:
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Form the dough into small patties or balls and flatten them slightly to make pancake-like shapes.
- Place the syrniki in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the syrniki from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the syrniki warm with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, jam, honey, or fresh berries.
- Enjoy!
