sirniki

Make these delicious, pillowy-soft, cheesy Russian cheese pancakes for a delicious breakfast treat. Serve these syrniki with syrup like traditional American pancakes, or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a spoonful of fruit preserves.

Syrniki Recipe (Russian Cheese Pancakes)

lb farmer's cheese

eggs

all purpose flour (, divided)

sugar

salt

raisins

vegetable oil,

Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, crumble the farmers cheese into little pieces with a fork. Add 2 eggs and mix well. Add ½ cup flour (reserve ⅓ cup for step 2), sugar, and salt. Mix well, using the fork to break apart any clumps of flour or farmer&#39;s cheese. Add raisins, if using. The &#39;batter&#39; will be thick like dough, not like traditional pancake batter.  

Form the syrniki pancakes: Prepare a small bowl with about ⅓ cup flour - you will use it to dredge the pancakes. Scoop out approximately ¼ cup pancake dough at a time. (See recipe notes below)  Use your hands to gently flatten the dough into a small patty. Dredge the pancake with flour on both sides. Shake off the extra flour and set aside until you are ready to cook the syrniki pancakes. 

Cook the syrniki pancakes: In a large skillet, heat 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and gently place the flour-dredged cheese pancakes into the pan using a spatula. Cook on medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown. Place on a paper towel to cool.&nbsp;Do not crowd the pancakes - cook them in 2-3 batches if necessary.&nbsp;

To serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or drizzle with maple syrup, honey, whipped cream. Or try these syrniki the traditional Russian way - with sour cream and your favorite fruit preserves.&nbsp;

Sweet fritters made with farmers cheese, eggs, and flour.&nbsp;

Sweet Cheese Fritters Syrniki

450 grams/1 lbs farmer's cheese (could use well-drained ricotta cheese)

eggs (large)

tbsp oil

tbsp sugar

flour

tsp baking powder

vanilla

Combine cheese, eggs, sugar, oil, flour, baking powder and vanilla in a medium size bowl and mix all the ingredients with a hand mixer until you get a homogenous mass- no longer than 2-3 minutes. The mixture will be very sticky.&nbsp;

Put the non-stick or cast iron frying pan on the stove on medium heat and add 3 tbsp of oil to it.

Dust a clean work surface with some flour. Take a regular soup spoon and start scooping the mixture from the bowl. Put it directly on the floured surface and roll it in the flour, then flatten it with your palm to make it into a patty. Continue the process with the rest of your cheese mixture until it’s all gone. You should get about 14 patties.

Before you start frying your syrniki make sure the oil in the frying pan is very hot by sprinkling a bit of flour into it. If it sizzles it’s hot enough. Fry the syrniki the same way you would pancakes. When you turn them over they should puff up a bit. The flour coating will make the outside slightly crispy while the mostly cheese filling will taste light and delicious.

Dust syrniki with icing sugar as the final touch and serve them with your favourite jam or a fruit sauce. If you want a truly Russian experience enjoy them with a bit of “smetana”-creme fraiche

Syrniki are pancakes made with farmer (or homemade) cheese. Traditionally syrniki are served with sour cream. I like to serve syrniki with fresh berries and powdered sugar. 

Syrniki (Ukrainian Cheese Pancakes)

453 gr farmer cheese 16 oz

gr sugar

egg room temperature

g salt

vanilla bean paste

In the large bowl, mix farm cheese, egg, white rice flour, powdered sugar (sifted), salt, and vanilla bean paste.

You will need ¼ cup ice cream scoop with a squeeze-release handle. Simply scoop some dough and place it on the table (or cutting board), previously sprinkled with some rice flour. 

Cover a piece of dough with the glass or teacup and circle a few times. Then flip that patty and circle again.

Repeat with the rest of the dough. 

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 1-2 tbsp oil or butter.

Once the skillet and oil are hot, place the patties directly into the skillet. Saute until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Do not crowd the syrniki, cook them in 3-4 batches if necessary. 

Transfer to a plate and serve with fresh berries. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

This is the best syrnyky recipe I’ve made. Great texture, tasty, I’ve added raisins to mine. Super yummy. Thank you Marina. Your recipes never fail.
