These baked syrniki are golden, tender and wonderfully light: soft cottage cheese pancakes baked instead of fried, with a delicately crisp edge and a creamy center. If you love cottage cheese breakfasts, try Classic Syrniki (Cottage Cheese Pancakes) or Tender Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Syrniki) next.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 70 g (1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) flour
- 300 g (10 oz) block cottage cheese (5%)
- Sweetener or sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well; form into balls, then flatten into syrniki.
- To shape them round, cover with a mug, swirl, then pat flat with your palm; flip and repeat if needed.
- Bake at 200C (400F) about 10 minutes, flip, and bake 10 minutes more (watch your oven; use top and bottom heat).
Tips
- Use firm block cottage cheese and drain any excess liquid so the syrniki hold their shape.
- Do not overbake — they should stay soft inside and just golden outside.
