RAISIN-STUDDED SYRNIKI
These golden, raisin-studded fritters are every Russian child's favourite treat. They're a decadent but light breakfast, a special treat for mornings when you don't have anywhere else to be. The batter is airy, and the trick is getting these patties to form without overloading them with flour. I made this version gluten-free and lactose-free, but you can go all the way and use regular ricotta or cottage cheese, and regular flour. They'll be even lighter. Leave the cheese to drain overnight in a colander lined with cheesecloth in the fridge, or give it at least a couple of hours and a good squeeze through a cheesecloth if you're short on time.

Steps:
- Mix the well-drained lactose-free ricotta with the eggs, sugar and baking powder, and see if mixture is runny.
- Start adding 1/2 cup of gluten-free flour mix, or regular flour. Mix well. If the mixture is still runny and drips off the spoon, add more flour. Continue adding flour until you can pick up the mixture with clean hands and form it into patties, without it sticking too much.
- Add raisins. Mix well, and once again, check for runiness.
- Heat up a frying pan w 2-3 Tbs of oil. These fritters need a lot of it, so don't hold back.
- Form the fritters in your hands. If batter sticks too much, add more flour. You should be able to move it from hand to hand with minimal stickiness.
- Fry on medium heat until browned one on side, about 3 minutes. Turn fritters over with a clean spatula; if they're sticking too much, you should add more flour to the rest of the batter.
- Lower heat to low-medium, and fry on the other side until both sides of the fritters are brown, and the fritters are easy to remove from the skillet.
- Blot with a clean paper towel. Let cool for about 2 minutes, and dig into the syrniki with some buckwheat honey, maple syrup, or your favourite jam.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks into the farmer's cheese, then stir in the sugar. Mix together 1⁄2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and the salt and add to the cheese mixture. If the mixture seems dry, add a little heavy cream.
- Place the butter and oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet and melt the butter.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1⁄4 cup flour onto a plate and dust your hands with some flour, too. With your hands or a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the batter and set the mound on the floured plate. Use your hands to gently shape it into a round patty about 2 inches in diameter and coat it lightly on all sides with flour. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Carefully transfer the patties to the pan and cook them slowly until the undersides are browned, about 3 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until the other sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately, with sour cream.

SYRNIKI - RUSSIAN PANCAKES (GLUTEN-FREE, LOW-GI)
Unlike regular pancakes, these pancakes are very light and fluffy. They are very low in carbohydrates and high in protein, making them a much better choice for breakfast compared to regular pancakes. These pancakes usually contain raisins, but I omitted them in order to avoid a blood sugar spike. For more healthy gluten-free recipes, please visit my blog, www.innerharmonynutrition.com.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Sift the flour into the bowl, and stir in along with the milk. Mix until smooth and well blended. The batter should be thin.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan or spray with cooking spray. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter, or as much as desired, into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly. When the edges are crisp looking and the center appears dry, slide a spatula carefully under the blin. Flip, and cook for about 1 minute on the other side, or until lightly browned.
- Remove blini to a plate. Put a little butter on top, and continue to stack the blini on top of each other. To serve, spread with desired filling, then fold in half, and in half again to form a triangle. Mmm Mmm!

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Start with the best ingredients you can find to ensure the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough and dense.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax and results in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. High heat will burn the pancakes before they have a chance to cook through.
- Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough and break them up.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Syrniki are traditionally served with sour cream, fresh berries, and honey.
Conclusion:
Syrniki are a delicious, versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you're looking for a gluten-free, low-GI option or just a hearty, satisfying meal, these Russian pancakes are sure to please. So next time you're in the mood for something different, give syrniki a try. You won't be disappointed!
