Cuisine: Russian, Ukrainian

Ingredients
  

  • 341 grams Farmers Cheese, Paneer, Dry Cottage Cheese or well drained Ricotta. See the notes above about how to properly prepare the cheese depending on what type you use.
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Flour
  • 1 tbsp Sweetener Stevia, Erythritol etc. To taste.
  • Neutral Oil and Butter for Frying About 2 tbsp. Ex. Canola Oil or Grapeseed Oil.

Method
 

Cheese Preparation
  1. Place your farmers cheese in between layers of paper towel. Place something heavy on top (like a Dutch oven) and allow to sit for about 30 minutes. The paper towels should be soaked with the liquid.
  2. Once drained, the farmers cheese shouldn't leave too much residue on your hands. If it does, it needs to be drained for longer.
Syrniki
  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except for oil) and mix thoroughly.
  2. Scoop the cheese mixture with a heaping tablespoon or ice cream scoop and shape the Syrniki into a small patty.
  3. Once the Syrniki is shaped, place them in the freezer for 5 minutes so that they hold their shape better.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with your neutral vegetable oil and butter.
  5. Once the oil is hot, place the syrniki into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, berries or powdered erythritol, stevia etc.
  7. Can be eaten immediately or these are also great cold / room temperature as a snack on the go!
