Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cheese Mixture

Start by combining the soft cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Ensure that there are no lumps left in the mixture; it should be homogenous for the best results.

Step 2

Make the Dough

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring gently until combined.

The dough should be soft but not sticky. Adjust the flour if necessary to achieve the right consistency.

Step 3

Shape the Syrniki

Dust your hands with some flour and take a portion of the dough. Roll it into a ball and then flatten it to form a patty about 1.5 centimeters (1/2 inch) thick.

Repeat this process until all the dough is shaped into patties. You should have a nice batch of syrniki ready to fry.

Step 4

Cook the Syrniki

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the syrniki in the skillet without overcrowding them.

Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Flip carefully to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, remove the syrniki from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Serve warm with your choice of toppings like sour cream, jam, or fresh fruits. Enjoy your delicious homemade syrniki!

Servings

For gatherings, consider creating a dessert platter, pairing your cheesecakes with variety of textures and flavors, including nuts or flavored syrups. Enjoy your delicious creations with family and friends, and don’t forget to relish the joy they bring!

Faq

  • What is the best way to blend the ingredients for a smooth batter?

    Using an electric mixer on medium speed is ideal, as it thoroughly combines the ingredients without overmixing.
