Ukrainian Keto Syrniki Recipe (Cheese Pancakes)
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.
Instructions
Cheese Preparation
- 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.
- 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
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except for oil) and mix thoroughly.
- Scoop the cheese mixture with a heaping tablespoon or ice cream scoop and shape the Syrniki into a small patty.
- Once the Syrniki is shaped, place them in the freezer for 5 minutes so that they hold their shape better.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat with your neutral vegetable oil and butter.
- Once the oil is hot, place the syrniki into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, berries or powdered erythritol, stevia etc.
- Can be eaten immediately or these are also great cold / room temperature as a snack on the go!
