Ingredients
- 400 grams Farmers cheese (tvorog or cottage cheese)
- 60 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmers cheese, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Step 2
Add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the cheese mixture and stir to incorporate until you achieve a dough-like consistency.
Step 3
Lightly dust your hands and the work surface with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each part into a small patty approximately 2 cm thick.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Gently place the Syrniki patties into the heated pan, leaving some space between each to ensure they cook evenly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown.
Step 6
Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 7
Sift powdered sugar over the cooked Syrniki before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, jam, fresh berries, or honey.
