Syrniki (farm cheese pancakes) (Сырники)

Overview

All-time Russian favorite breakfast is here! Farm-cheese pancakes known as syrniki are loved by kids and grown-ups alike.

Ingredients

  • Salt and sugar to your taste
  • 2 tablespoons not too full of flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoonful of sour-cream
  • ½ pound of farm cheese or quark
  • 1 tablespoonful of butter

Cooking

Add all those delicious things to the farm cheese and mix well to get a homogeneous mass. Now form little round things about half an inch thick, roll them in crumbs or semolina and fry on a medium fire in vegetable oil.

After you take those off the frying-pan, you can put some sour-cream on top.

TIP:

In some families syrniki are formed around berries or jam, but it takes some practice to fry them without spilling the filling.
