Time 43m

Yield 25 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces farmer cheese
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • 1.In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs and farmers cheese until combined. (A fork or spoon would work).
  • 2.In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together sifted flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda until combined.
  • 3.Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix well until everything is incorporated. The dough will be sticky and slightly lumpy.
  • 4.Transfer the dough onto a well floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on top and shape into a log with your hands, about 2 inches wide (not length).
  • 5.Cut the log about 3/4 inch sections vertically with a knife. For each cut out dough, dip sides in flour. Using your fingers, squish sides to form into a circle and pat down to flatten.
  • 6.Heat a non stick skillet or griddle on medium high heat. Add a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet, or genoursly grease a griddle. Shake off excess flour and fry the syrniki about 2-3 minutes on both sides.
  • 7.Place fried syrniki on paper towel to soak up that oil.
