Delicious Syrniki
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. To keep syrniki holding their shape and from falling apart while frying, choose dry cottage cheese for the base and add wheat flour. The richer the cottage cheese, the juicier the dessert will be. If you like, you can stir raisins, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, finely chopped dried apricots, and so on into the dough. Remember that syrniki brown very quickly, so use moderate heat when frying.
