Directions
Sirniki (Russian Cheese Pancakes),These Russian Fried Cheese Pancakes (Patties), prounounced SEER-ni-kee, are delicious served hot out of the pan, the outsides still crispy, the insides creamy… They are very easy, and the dough can be made ahead. Sirniki are usually served as a brunch or breakfast dish, or as a dessert, with sour cream or jam. Some like both!,I am also Russian – so I am used to Sirniki and these turned out perfect. I didn’t refrigerate them, due to the lack of time. used super dry Tvorog and it turned perfect! I think super dry one works really well in this recipe! Next time I will add a photo – we ate them so fast, that I didn’t have time to take a photo :),SO good – this recipe is a keeper (and that really says something since i’m russian & grew up eating this)! i took away a star because i made a couple of adjustments & it was perfect that way. Adjustments: use half the sugar & salt! next time, i’ll also try to skip dredging in flour before frying OR using 1/3 cup flour instead of 1/2 cup… just to try & limit the “not so good” ingredients in this. served w/ strawberries & raspberries (these don’t need sour cream, though my fam always eats em that way) and tea = YUM!

Note: Farmer Cheese Is Usually Found Near the Cream Cheese; My Store Sells Friendship Brand. These Days, the Packages Are Just Under 1/2 Pound (don't You Hate This Incremental Downsizing?), and 2 Packages Will Work Fine. |
