Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese 10 oz
• Chicken Egg 2 pieces
• Wheat Flour 6 teaspoons
• Sugar 2 spoons
• Safflower Oil 5 teaspoons

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Place all the cottage cheese in a small pot and mash it with a fork until there are no large lumps left. Crack the eggs into the pot, add the sugar, and mix everything thoroughly. It's best not to use cottage cheese that is too dry or too wet, or else the cheese pancakes will fall apart during cooking.

Step 2

Add 5 heaping tablespoons of flour to the cottage cheese and mix thoroughly. You can add a little more flour for denser cheese pancakes, or slightly less for a softer texture. In the end, you should have a homogeneous mixture that can be shaped into cheese pancakes.

Step 3

Place a skillet over medium heat and pour in sunflower oil.

Step 4

Pour a little flour onto a plate. Shape a few small balls from the cottage cheese mixture and place them on the plate. It's best to form 4-5 balls at a time — as many as will fit in the pan at once. Then, one by one, roll the cottage cheese balls in flour, flatten them into small patties (they shouldn't be too thin), and place them in the pan.

Step 5

Fry the syrniki for 1–2 minutes until a golden crust forms. Then, flip them to the other side and fry until they are golden brown as well.

Step 6

Repeat until the cottage cheese is finished.
