FOR SERVING

  • Berries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Sour cream
  • Honey

 


Instructions

  • In a large bowl, crumble cottage cheese, using a fork.
  • Add  an egg, vanilla extract and sugar and mix well.
  • Stir in flour and raisins ( if using), then mix well again.   The batter will be thick like dough, not similar to the regular pancake batter.
  • In a shallow bowl keep 2-3 tbsp. of flour to dredge the pancakes.
  • Take 1 1/2 tbsp. of dough  and form a ball, flatten the side of the ball to get a cube-shaped  pancake/ syrnik. Dredge pancakes with flour on all the sides and shake off extra flour. Repeat the same with the remaining dough.
  • In a large non-stick pan heat 2 tbsp. of vegetable oil, gently put syrniki into the pan. Cook about 10-12 minutes ( 3 minutes x 4 sides) on medium heat. Transfer to a paper towel and allow to cool. You might need to cook pancakes in 2-3 batches, depend on the size of your pan.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite toppings. In Russia we usually serve them with sour cream, honey and fresh berries like  raspberries and strawberries.
