Syrniki – Russian Cheese Pancakes
These pancakes are made primarily with farmer’s cheese, making them rich in flavor and texture. They are not only quick to whip up but are also incredibly satisfying. Pair them with a sweet sauce, fresh fruit, or a dollop of sour cream for a breakfast treat that will delight everyone.
Ingredients
- 1 cup farmer’s cheese or ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying
- Blueberry sauce or your choice of topping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer’s cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. If it feels too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into rounds or patties, dusting them lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Once hot, add the shaped syrniki and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm with blueberry sauce or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy these Syrniki as part of a lovely brunch or a special breakfast treat. They are sure to impress and satisfy anyone who tries them. Bon appétit!
