Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Full-fat ricotta cheese (or farmer's cheese)
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Coconut flour
- 30 grams Granular erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Butter (or coconut oil for frying)
- 10 grams Powdered erythritol (for dusting, optional)
- 50 grams Fresh berries (for serving, optional)
- 30 grams Sour cream (optional topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough forms. The mixture should hold its shape but remain slightly sticky.
Dust your hands lightly with almond flour to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into 8 small portions and gently shape each piece into a thick, round patty about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter or coconut oil. Once melted, carefully place the syrniki in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to avoid breaking. They should turn golden brown and slightly puff up.
Remove the cooked syrniki and set them on a plate lined with paper towels. Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining butter or oil, and repeat with the next batch.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered erythritol if desired. Accompany with fresh berries and a dollop of sour cream for an authentic touch.
