Light Syrniki (Farmer Cheese Pancakes)
Watching your waistline but love syrniki? Then this recipe is for you. These are my favorite way to indulge a little at dinner :)
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Separate the egg white from the yolk.
-
Step 2:
Beat the white with the sugar to stiff peaks (flip the bowl over — if it doesn't fall out, you're good!).
-
Step 3:
Add the yolk to the farmer cheese.
-
Step 4:
If the cheese is grainy or crumbly, buzz it smooth with a blender (a firm block works best).
-
Step 5:
Add the sifted flour a little at a time and mix it all together. Don't forget the sugar!
-
Step 6:
Finally, fold in the beaten egg white and gently mix everything together.
-
Step 7:
Shape into little pucks. You can dredge them in flour or leave them plain — without the flour coating, you won't get that appetizing golden crust.
-
Step 8:
Get a skillet screaming hot (with or without oil), add the syrniki, then turn the heat down to low.
-
Step 9:
I cover the pan and cook them for about 5 minutes.
-
Step 10:
Once the syrniki slide around the pan without sticking, flip them and pop the lid back on.
-
Step 11:
Voilà!
- Tasty and wholesome, with no guilt about your waistline)
