Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 80 grams Vegan cream cheese
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Fresh berries or jam (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, crumble the firm tofu and mash it with a fork until it has a smooth, consistent texture. Alternatively, use a blender for a creamier consistency.

Step 2

Add the vegan cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed tofu. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the tofu mixture, stirring to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.

Step 4

Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small, round patty about 1.5 cm thick.

Step 5

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the syrniki in the pan, leaving a bit of space between each one.

Step 6

Cook the syrniki for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the syrniki warm, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by fresh berries or a dollop of jam, if desired.
