Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Farmer's cheese (or ricotta if unavailable)
- 2 large Eggs
- 80 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 100 grams Sour cream or yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the cheese mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it feels too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Dust your hands and a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8–10 pieces) and shape each piece into a small round patty, about 1 cm thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Place the syrniki into the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and fresh berries if desired.
