  • Mix the cottage cheese with the sugar. Add the flour and knead into a dough. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into rounds. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fritters and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them, cover with a lid, and fry over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Syrniki are pan-fried cottage cheese patties, a classic across Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, and Moldovan cooking, made from cottage cheese mixed with a little flour or semolina and, usually, eggs (some cooks insist true syrniki use no flour). They're most often fried in oil, though some recipes bake or even steam them. The key to this recipe is well-drained, smooth cottage cheese (press it or push it through a sieve or blender): the drier it is, the less flour you need for a workable dough, and ideally you'll use very little. The most popular versions are plain or with raisins, but you'll also find them made with carrot, dried apricot, apple, pear, nuts, or potato, and occasionally savory ones with green onion or dill. Serve them with sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, a thick fruit compote, or jam; savory versions can be served with ketchup or mayonnaise.
