high protein golden syrniki with sour cream & jam

Syrniki are not pancakes. They’re made with tvorog/farmer’s cheese, giving them a creamy, tender inside and delicate crumbly texture. Served with sour cream, jam, berries, or condensed milk. Tricky without the right tips — they can fall apart or turn dense.

I teach practical home cooking for people who want to eat well without cooking from scratch every day. In my live classes, we cook together and prepare food strategically: some things are cooked and frozen, some are prepped to cook fresh later, and some become versatile bases for several different meals. I do the planning—you leave with food in your fridge and freezer and a clear idea of what to make with it later.

Ingredients

cottage cheese (tworog)
egg yolk
durum flour or semolina
vanilla sugar
baking powder

Tips & Swaps

You need to use dry, firm tvorog/cottage cheese — not a runny one. Otherwise, the syrniki will be hard to shape and may fall apart. The best option is to look for tvorog at a farmers market or in a Russian, Ukrainian, or Polish grocery store.

Preparation

You don’t need to make anything from scratch for this class. But if you enjoy making everything from scratch, or if you can’t find tvorog/cottage cheese in stores, message me and I’ll provide a recipe for making it from whole milk.
