Cheese Pancakes with Jam
Breakfasts • Russian
Description
Cheese pancakes with jam are a reliable and foolproof option for breakfast every day. To prevent the pancakes from sticking to your hands while shaping them, it's important to moisten your hands with warm water. You can also vary the density of the pancakes: the less flour you use in the cheese mixture, the more tender they will be. For making cheese pancakes, it's best to use homemade cottage cheese, but if that's not available, choose one with the least moisture. The jam for topping the pancakes is like butter for porridge: you can't go wrong with the amount.
