Step 1

Add the farmer’s cheese in a large bowl and break it up with a fork to ensure there aren’t any big clumps of cheese. Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix it very well until you get a smooth batter. The syrniki batter will be thick. You can use a fork or a handheld mixer (I prefer to use a fork because I like the little clumps of cheese)

Step 2

Flour a cutting board, then use an ice cream scoop to portion the syrniki. This will help to get beautiful and even syrniki throughout. Place the batter into your palm and roll it into a ball. Place the syrniki on the floured board and use the bottom of a glass to slightly press down on it to give it it’s shape. You want the syrniki to still be thick but with flat tops. Dust flour on top and the sides.

Step 3

Heat a large pan on medium heat, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of oil, and fry the syrniki for 3 minutes on both sides or until golden brown. Place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil, dust with powdered sugar, and Enjoy while they are warm! Serve (farmer’s cheese pancakes) with fresh berries, fruit preserves, maple syrup, sour cream, or Greek yogurt!
