Ingredients
- 500 grams farmer's cheese or ricotta
- 2 large eggs
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 100 grams sour cream
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the farmer's cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the texture of the syrniki.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Dust each patty lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the syrniki and fry them in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the cooked syrniki from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
