Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons semolina flour

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

  • ⅓ cup canola oil for frying

Directions

  1. Mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, and sugar. Stir in semolina and all-purpose flour, and work into a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll into a 1-inch thick log. Slice the log into 8 pieces, then pat each piece in additional flour to form a patty.

  2. Heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Fry the syrniki in hot oil until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
