Syrniki Recipe | Russian Cheese Pancakes

Using a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth, squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the cheese. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and mix until combined and smooth.

Add flour and raisins and stir to combine (do not over mix).

Scoop out a portion of the batter, coat with flour and shape into 3/4-inch (1.5cm) thick patty. Coat the outside in flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Heat a large pan/skillet over medium heat, add butter/oil.

Fry syrniki over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Serve with sour cream and jelly/jam.
