Varenets at home
Description
Varenets can be consumed as is, or with added sugar, jam, or fruits and berries. It can be served for breakfast, afternoon snack, or instead of dinner. It's best to use full-fat milk, or add cream as I did. The sour cream must be natural, otherwise varenets won't achieve the desired consistency. Serve chilled.
