Cheese pancakes, Ukrainian syrniki recipe

 

Farmer Cheese Pancakes (or Syrniki) is a traditional Ukrainian dish, served for breakfast or dessert.  The name syrniki comes from the word “syr” in Ukrainian which means “cheese”. Traditionally syrniki are served with sour cream or berry jam. More of my favorite Ukrainian recipes can be found HERE.

2. Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with 2-3 Tbsps. extra light olive oil.

3. With wet hands (it is important to wet your hands, otherwise, cheese mixture will stick to them) form thick pancakes and place them into a skillet one by one. If the cheese starts to stick to your hands, wet them again.

      No, it is not the same. Farmer cheese is firmer and drier than ricotta.
