Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb farmer's cheese
2 eggs
½ + ⅓ cup all purpose flour (, divided)
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Optional: ½ cup raisins
6-8 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • 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's cheese. Add raisins, if using. The 'batter' 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. Do not crowd the pancakes - cook them in 2-3 batches if necessary.
  • 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.

SIRNIKI (RUSSIAN CHEESE PANCAKES)



Sirniki (Russian Cheese Pancakes) image

These Russian Fried Cheese Pancakes (Patties), prounounced SEER-ni-kee, are delicious served hot out of the pan, the outsides still crispy, the insides creamy...

Provided by Dories Lori

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb farmer cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour, plus
extra flour, for dipping
2 tablespoons butter, approx
sour cream or jam, for serving

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse the farmer�s cheese until it is uniformly crumpled. Add the eggs, sugar, salt, and ½ cup of flour. Pulse or mix to combine. Refrigerate 1 hour, or even overnight. The dough will remain thick but sticky.
  • Put approximately 1/3 cup of flour into a bowl, and use this to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Using 2 teaspoons, drop 1½ï¿½ balls of dough into the flour, roll them round, and flatten to about 3/8� thick. Place them on a plate in a single layer until all the patties are all formed.
  • Heat a frying pan with 1 T. butter, and fry the patties on each side until golden. You will need to add more butter as you go.
  • Serve hot with sour cream and/or jam. This recipe will make approximately 20 small patties.
  • NOTE: Farmer Cheese is usually found near the cream cheese; my store sells Friendship brand. These days, the packages are just under 1/2 pound (don't you hate this incremental downsizing?), and 2 packages will work fine.
  • About the Times, Prep time is mostly frying time, and Passive time is the chilling time.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, full-fat dairy products and flavorful cheese will make all the difference in the taste of your pancakes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest. Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking allows the flour to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld together.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over too high heat will make them brown too quickly on the outside and leave them raw in the middle. Medium heat will allow them to cook through evenly.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Cheese pancakes are best served hot and fresh. You can top them with sour cream, jam, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cheese pancakes, or syrniki, are a delicious and versatile breakfast dish. They can be made with a variety of cheeses and fillings, and they can be served with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them sweet or savory, there's a cheese pancake recipe out there for you. With these tips, you can make perfect cheese pancakes every time.
