- Add flour and raisins and stir and combined (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.

*Traditional syrniki are made with tvorog cheese (farmers cheese), if you can't find this cheese you can use fresh ricotta, but bake sure that you squeeze as much liquid as possible.

ReplyHi I made these today, if you are going to use ricotta line a sieve with muslin and leave in a bowl to drain overnight in the fridge and then wring the muslin with the ricotta as tight as you can in order to get the moisture out. This I did not do and the mixture was too wet sadly! Though they had a lovely flavour!
ReplySyrniki is Ukraine reci pe, not russian
ReplyAgree with Serhiy - this is Ukrainian recipe.
ReplySyrnyky is Ukrainian traditional kitchen. Not russian!
ReplyThe name syrniki is derived from the Slavic word syr (сир), stand for soft curd cheese. The Ukrainian language retains the old Slavic sense of the word, as in domashnii syr (домашній сир, literal translation 'domestic cheese'), whereas in Russian, another old Slavic word for curd cheese, namely the word tvorog (творог), is used (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrniki)
