Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams low-fat cottage cheese (or farmer's cheese)
- 1 piece egg white
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 15 grams granulated sugar (or sugar substitute)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, granulated sugar (or sugar substitute), and vanilla extract.
Mash the cottage cheese with a fork or blend lightly with an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth but still retains some texture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape.
Dust your hands lightly with flour and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small patty about 2 cm thick.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Place the syrniki in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan, and cook in batches if necessary.
Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate and repeat with the remaining patties.
Serve warm with a dollop of low-fat yogurt, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey, if desired.
