Ingredients
- 400 grams Farmer's cheese (or quark)
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 grams Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or avocado oil)
- 0 Optional topping: Sugar-free yogurt or fresh berries
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, oat flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until a smooth, uniform dough forms. You can use a fork or a hand mixer to help break up the cheese.
Step 2
Lightly flour your hands with oat flour to prevent sticking. Form the dough into small, flat patties about 2-3 inches in diameter and approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 3
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and let it heat up.
Step 4
Working in batches, place the syrniki in the skillet, leaving space between each patty. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Add more oil as needed for subsequent batches.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve warm with sugar-free yogurt, fresh berries, or your favorite sugar-free topping on the side.
