Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Russian Cheese Pancakes (Syrniki).
Step 1
Start by grabbing a mixing bowl and whisking together the egg and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your syrniki.
Step 2
Next, gently fold in the well-drained quark cheese, flour, optional vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Mix everything together until the dough transforms into a thick, sticky consistency that feels just right.
Step 4
Now, itβs time to divide your dough into 5 to 6 equal portions.
Step 5
Roll each portion into a ball, and give them a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking.
Step 6
With a gentle touch, flatten each ball to create lovely discs, which are the heart of your syrniki.
Step 7
Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, allowing it to warm up nicely.
Step 8
Carefully place your syrniki in the skillet, giving them enough space to breathe.
Step 9
Fry them for about 5 minutes on each side, watching as they turn a beautiful golden brown and become perfectly cooked through.
Step 10
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon youβll have a delicious batch of syrniki ready to enjoy!.
