Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make syrniki in a multicooker? Measure out all your ingredients. Use dry farmer's cheese and the finest semolina you can find. I don't use wheat flour here, but you could add some and cut back on the semolina.
Step 2:

First, sort, rinse, and soak the raisins in water — I usually cover them with boiling water. Leave the raisins to plump up while you make the batter.
Step 3:

Mash the farmer's cheese thoroughly with a fork in a wide, deep bowl. This is a very important step — try not to leave any big lumps. The better you mash it, the more tender the syrniki. To be safe you can press it through a fine sieve, but I skip that step. Or lightly blend it with a blender.
Step 4:

Add the eggs to the farmer's cheese and mix well.
Step 5:

Add the sugar and salt. Add just a tiny pinch of vanillin (about what fits on a knife tip). Don't overdo it, or the dish will turn bitter! You can use 7 to 8 grams of vanilla sugar instead. Mix.
Step 6:

Add the semolina to the cheese mixture.
Step 7:

Mix everything well and let it sit for 10 minutes so the mixture rests and the semolina swells.
Step 8:

Set the multicooker to the Fry or Bake mode and let it heat up.
Step 9:

Drain the soaked raisins in a sieve and pat them dry with paper towels. Add the raisins to the batter.
Step 10:

Mix the batter thoroughly, distributing the raisins evenly.
Step 11:

Put a spoonful of semolina on a flat plate.
Step 12:

Wet your hands with water. Shape the batter into syrniki and roll each one in the semolina.
Step 13:

Grease the multicooker bowl with oil. Add the syrniki, close the lid, and run the multicooker on Fry for 7 minutes.
Step 14:

Open the lid, flip the syrniki over, close the lid, and cook for another 7 minutes. Note that you'll need to shorten or lengthen the cooking time to suit your own multicooker — it could be anywhere from 4 to 10 minutes, depending on the wattage.
Step 15:

Serve the finished syrniki with sour cream or jam. Sour cream is the better choice, since the syrniki are quite sweet on their own. Enjoy!

Syrniki are our all-time favorite breakfast. They're that sweet spot where tasty meets wholesome. Even my son, who unexpectedly went off farmer's cheese, happily eats them. Cooking syrniki in a multicooker uses half the oil that pan-frying does, which is another big plus.
