From Wikipedia
In Russian, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Polish, and Ukrainian cuisines, syrniki (Russian: сы́рник[и]; Ukrainian: сирники; Belarusian: сырнікі) are fried quark pancakes, garnished with sour cream, jam, honey, or apple sauce. The cheese mixture may contain raisins for extra flavor. In Russia they are also known as tvorozhniki (творо́жники).
Syrniki are made from creamy quark, mixed with flour, eggs, and sugar, sometimes adding vanilla extract.
The soft mixture is shaped into cakes, which are fried, generally in
vegetable oil. The outside becomes crisp, and the center is warm and
creamy. They are sweet and served for breakfast or dessert. Their
simplicity and relative lack of expensive ingredients makes them very
popular in Eastern Europe.[neutrality is disputed].
The name syrniki is derived from the word сыр in Russian or сир in Ukrainian (transliteration: syr), meaning "cheese" in both languages. Although the modern meaning of the word сыр (syr) in Russian is hard yellow cheese, the original word in Slavic languages stood for soft white cheese (similar to today's quark cheese, which is still called сир in Ukrainian but metamorphosed into творог, tvorog in Russian).[1] Thus, the word syrniki, derived from the old meaning of syr, came to designate pancakes made from soft white cheese.
My recipe
You will need
16 oz of cottage cheese
1 egg
Sugar to taste (I usually use 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon of backing powder
2 cups of flour
Oil or butter for frying
I simply mix everything in a bowl, form patties from the dough and fry them on each side in preheated oil until they are golden.
You will need to add more oil/ butter as you go.
