Russian Cottage Cheese Pancakes - Syrniki

Be careful what kind of cottage cheese you use, be sure to choose a well drained whey and not be soft and creamy. Otherwise, they are made quickly, eaten even faster - of course with a little yogurt or sour cream and your favorite jam.

Egg
1 piece
Semolina flour
4 tbsp
can be replaced with flour, in addition you need a little flour to work with your hands

Step by step

Step 1
