Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Honey
Breakfasts • Dagestan
Description
Let's solve this puzzle once and for all: the root 'syr' in the name of this dish in most Slavic languages refers to various types of dairy products, including cottage cheese, but in Russian, it ceased to be used in that sense quite early. Cottage cheese pancakes are also known as curd fritters, but the essence remains the same: high-quality cottage cheese, a bit of flour, an egg, and sugar. It's also a good idea to add semolina during preparation: it helps the pancakes hold their shape and prevents them from turning into a curd mess in the pan. Before serving, you can gently warm the honey: it will become more pliable and interesting in flavor.
