My Favorite Syrniki (Farmer's Cheese Pancakes)

This recipe is really easy, and the syrniki come out so tender! I searched high and low and experimented for ages, but they always came out a little too firm or a little too dry... until I nailed it! Juicy, tender, moderately sweet, and delicious. In short, the perfect recipe!

Cooking method

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:

Crack 1 egg into a saucepan.
Step 2:

Add 400 grams (about 14 oz) of farmer's cheese. About 70% of your success comes down to the quality of the cheese, so use fine-grained 9% farmer's cheese.
Step 3:

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Step 4:

You're aiming for a consistency that's neither runny nor dry.
Step 5:

Add 2 tablespoons of flour and mix.
Step 6:

Don't make the base too firm — if you do, the syrniki won't be airy. You could also blitz it with a blender, but I didn't.
Step 7:

Shape the syrniki. Wet your hands so the mixture doesn't stick. Roll them one at a time, or form a log and slice it.
Step 8:

Heat the skillet. The syrniki need to go onto a hot skillet, but then lower the heat to medium. Pour in about 50 grams of sunflower oil — you can use olive oil instead.
Step 9:

Place the syrniki on the hot skillet.
Step 10:

Fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side, until a golden crust forms.
Step 11:

Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let them sit for 3 minutes.
Step 12:

Transfer the delicious syrniki to a plate.
Step 13:

Add a topping: condensed milk, raspberries, blackberries, or blueberry jam, to taste. Enjoy!

This is the perfect recipe for delicious syrniki cooked in a skillet! In my opinion, syrniki are a versatile dish — great for breakfast, an afternoon snack, dinner, or just dessert. My recipe keeps them as easy as possible to make, which saves a lot of time! Here I've hit the ideal proportions so the dish comes out tender, juicy, not firm, and not cloyingly sweet. Next time, make syrniki along with me — the recipe is very easy and quick, your family will love them, and if you add sour cream, jam, or condensed milk before serving, mmm... they'll be gone in under 5 minutes! Cook up a batch and enjoy!
