Recipe
Pancakes with cottage cheese or syrniki are a traditional dessert in the Russian, Ukrainian, and Belorussian cuisine. According to popular belief, they turn out tastier if cooked in a pan and completely without flour. Our editors fundamentally disagree: why limit yourself if you can experiment? Besides, the result is worth it.
We recommend cooking homemade cottage cheese pancakes in the oven, with flour and semolina. If you make them according to our recipe, you will get authentic syrniki without a single drop of sunflower oil.
Garnish syrniki with sour cream or jam, as is the custom. Speaking of jam, you can add it directly to the dough, before heat treatment, and not only jam but also chocolate, nuts, condensed milk. Indulge your pastry-craving, pancake-loving sweet tooth with this scrumptious treat.
