syrniki
Ingredients
- 16 oz farmers cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour (+ more for dusting if desired)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Sour cream and jam (for serving)
Instructions
- mix the farmers cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. It should be a fluffy texture, still a bit sticky.
- If you want your syrniki to be extra round, scoop them onto a floured surface and gently roll into a ball. Place them under a water cup and gently spin to get a really round shape (see video). Otherwise, dollop directly onto the skillet in the next step.
- Preheat a large skillet over a medium flame. Add the oil and butter and let sizzle. Gently add the rounded syrniki in the pan or scoop directly in like pancakes.
- Cook a 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve with sour cream and jam.
Notes
Leftover batter can be stored in the fridge for a day or two and used the next morning.
