🥞 Syrniki (cheese pancakes)

4 servings · prep 15 min · cook 15 min

Ingredients

• 500 g drained fromage blanc (quark)
• 1 egg
• 4 tbsp flour + extra for rolling
• 2 tbsp sugar
• A pinch of salt, 1 tsp vanilla
• Butter for the pan
• Sour cream and jam to serve

Method

1. Mash the cheese with a fork to break up any lumps.
2. Add the egg, sugar, vanilla and salt, then the flour: the dough should stay soft, never firm.
3. Flour your hands, shape 2 cm thick patties and roll them lightly in flour.
4. Fry in butter over medium heat, 3 to 4 min per side.
5. Too high a heat burns the outside before the middle cooks: that is the classic mistake.
6. Serve hot with sour cream and jam.
