Classic cheesecakes

The most important ingredient is the cheese. Store-bought cheese won't work for perfect syrniki. You need a good homemade cheese, rich and creamy.

In a separate bowl, you need to mix the sugar with the egg and a pinch of salt. Add vanilla sugar to taste if desired.

You don't need to beat, just lightly mix with a fork.

Put the cheese in a bowl, add the egg-sugar mixture and flour to it.

Knead the dough with your hands. This results in a much better consistency than using a spoon. The end result is a sticky and uniform mass.

Now, you'll need that same spoon to shape the cheese pancakes, so they are as uniform in size as possible.

With the spoon, place portions of the mixture on a floured surface.

Shape them into balls.

Press each one with your palm.

We heat up some oil in a well-heated pan and place the formed cheese pancakes on it. We fry them on low heat until they turn golden brown on both sides.

Once the cheese pancakes are golden brown on both sides, place them on a paper towel in a single layer to remove excess oil.

Tasty and simple cheese pancakes are ready. Enjoy!
