Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Russian Syrniki.
Step 1
Start by mixing together the cottage cheese, beaten eggs, and sugar in a large bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy. Next, gently fold in the semolina and all-purpose flour, working the mixture into a soft dough. Don't worry if it feels a bit sticky; that's just perfect!
Step 2
Now, turn the dough out onto a floured surface. With your hands, roll it into a log about 1 inch thick. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces, and then pat each piece in a little extra flour to form a nice, round patty. This will help them hold their shape while frying.
Step 3
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat until it's nice and hot. Carefully place the syrniki in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 4
Once cooked, transfer the syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve them warm, and enjoy the delightful texture and flavor!
How to Serve
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of honey, or fresh fruit on the side for a delightful breakfast or snack!
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
