A little while ago I found out that a friend of ours has developed quite a craving for sirniki. Sirniki in this part of the world are also known as Farmer’s Cheese Pancakes. I promised our friend I that I will make sirniki and document the steps so that she can enjoy them, in the comfort of her own home, whenever the fancy strikes her:) I, this is for you!

To make sirniki you will need the following ingredients (I never officially measured the ingredients so you’ll just have to eye it).

1. Farmer’s Cheese (a.k.a Tvorog) (approximately 1 package)
2. One egg
3. One tablespoon of sugar
4. Salt (to taste)
5. One tablespoon of all purpose flour
6. Raisins (to your liking)

To begin, place the farmer’s cheese into a medium sized bowl

Add the egg and mix with farmer’s cheese

Mix in salt

Mix in sugar

Mix in raisins

Mix in flour

Once all the ingredients are well mixed, take the mixture by the tablespoon full and form into small patties

Spray a hot frying pan with cooking spray, and add the sirniki, a couple at a time. Fry the sirniki, turning after a few minutes, until golden brown on each side

The end result should look something like this…

…and should be delicious.

I, I hope you enjoy making sirniki as much as you enjoy eating them
