Syrniki | Traditional Russian Breakfast Recipe

Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer.

In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract.

Mix until well combined and smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter and shape it into a patty.

Place the patty in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the patty and cook the other side until golden brown, another 3-4 minutes.

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Serve warm topped with sour cream, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
