Mint Syrniki
Description
Every homemaker has her own little secret in the technique of making syrniki. But the main requirement for true syrniki has always been one thing: fresh, homemade cottage cheese. Of course, it is not always possible to buy the required product, but there is no need to despair. I suggest making syrniki from store-bought cottage cheese. There are some nuances that will give the finished dish an unforgettable taste. This is the necessary balance of ingredients—flour, cottage cheese, and eggs. I also suggest adding garden mint to the syrniki. Its note of freshness and unforgettable aroma will give the dish a new flavor and pleasantly surprise your family. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
