Syrniki

◦◦◦ not your average cheese cake ◦◦◦


Syrniki (Сырники) are cottage cheese griddle cakes, sometimes called “cheese fritters” in English. They are generally fried in vegetable oil to create crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside medallions of warm, creamy goodness. Drizzled with sour cream, condensed milk, and/or jam, and served for breakfast or dessert, syrniki are particularly beloved in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, and Lithuania.

How to Prepare Syrniki

You must find a sort of Zen between the basic ingredients of tvorog, eggs, and flour 🧘🏻‍♀️ Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in quark cheese and flour. Mix well until dough is thick and sticky. Divide dough into 5 to 6 portions. Form into balls and coat with some flour. Flatten slightly to form into discs (syrniki). Heat oil in skillet over medium-low heat. Add the syrniki, fry until browned (5 minutes per side). This page was built by Alina Avramenko 🇺🇦
