Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams farmer's cheese or ricotta
- 2 large eggs
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 100 grams sour cream
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the texture of the syrniki.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Dust each patty lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the syrniki and fry them in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the cooked syrniki from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
