Homemade syrniki with cottage cheese
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Homemade pastries are my specialty, especially those from old traditional recipes. Only my grandmother used to make these juicy pastries; you won't find them in stores. They are incredibly delicious, soft and tender. My family devours them right away, and nothing is left for the next day. I think it will be the same for you. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
