For the sirniki recipe you only need a few simple ingredients. Whether for breakfast or dessert, you won't be able to get enough of these Russian cheese pancakes.
Servings 10 pieces
Ingredients
- 400 g tvorog
- 2 eggs
- 40 g sugar
- vanilla
- 1 pinch of salt
- approx. 80 g flour
- flour for rolling
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Put tvorog in a mixing bowl and mash it with a fork.
- Add eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt and mix until homogeneous.
- Gradually add flour and mix until a very sticky mass that is not too dry. The amount of flour given may vary greatly depending on how much liquid your tvorog contains. (Be sure to follow the tips and tricks for making syrniki at the top of the post for this).
- Form about 10 balls from the tvorog mixture, flatten them slightly, and roll each ball in flour.
- Grease the pan with vegetable oil and fry the syrniki in it over low to medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
Notes
- Syrniki dough should contain a lot of tvorog and little flour. It should have a sticky consistency, not a solid or runny one. So it is best to add flour little by little.
- Adjust the amount of sugar for Russian cheese thalers as you like.
- Flour hands before shaping syrniki.
- Fry Russian cheese pancakes over low to medium heat only and not over high heat.
