Ingredients
- 400 grams Farmer's cheese (or ricotta if unavailable)
- 2 large Eggs
- 80 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 100 grams Sour cream or yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 100 grams Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Gradually add the gluten-free all-purpose flour to the cheese mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable. If it feels too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 3
Dust your hands and a clean surface with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8–10 pieces) and shape each piece into a small round patty, about 1 cm thick.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 5
Place the syrniki into the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and fresh berries if desired.
