Cheese pancakes made from sour cottage cheese
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Don't rush to throw away spoiled cottage cheese—use it to make wonderful fried cheese pancakes (syrniki)! Add a little sugar, salt, vanilla, or any other flavoring. If the cottage cheese is very sour, soak it in 200 ml of milk of any fat content for 30 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid. It will become fresh and tasty again. However, sweet spices generally mask the sourness very well. Serve the syrniki hot with various drinks, berries, etc. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
