Ingredients
- 200 grams Full-fat ricotta cheese (or farmer's cheese)
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Coconut flour
- 30 grams Granular erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 30 grams Butter (or coconut oil for frying)
- 10 grams Powdered erythritol (for dusting, optional)
- 50 grams Fresh berries (for serving, optional)
- 30 grams Sour cream (optional topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Step 2
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough forms. The mixture should hold its shape but remain slightly sticky.
Step 3
Dust your hands lightly with almond flour to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into 8 small portions and gently shape each piece into a thick, round patty about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter or coconut oil. Once melted, carefully place the syrniki in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 5
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully to avoid breaking. They should turn golden brown and slightly puff up.
Step 6
Remove the cooked syrniki and set them on a plate lined with paper towels. Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining butter or oil, and repeat with the next batch.
Step 7
Serve warm, dusted with powdered erythritol if desired. Accompany with fresh berries and a dollop of sour cream for an authentic touch.
