cottage cheese pancakes recipe

August 10, 2009 by Lelik 107 Comments

In Russia we name them “syrniki” which means cheesy pancakes, but the main ingredient – cottage cheese Russians calls “tvorog” which is not a cheese actually. We eat “tvorog” with sour cream or jam on breakfast, it is very healthy and tasty. You can find a million of cottage cheese pancakes recipe with different ingredients but my recipe is the simplest I have ever seen! Russians cook these pancakes as quick breakfast. This recipe as simple as 1-2-3!  Just try to make pancakes by yourself  and you’ll not be disappointed!

The ingredients we need for cottage cheese pancakes recipe:

400 gram cottage cheese

2-3 eggs

4 tablespoon sugar

pinch of salt

3-4 tablespoon flour

You can find cottage cheese in ANY Russian markets in milk section, it’s very popular as kefir, sour cream etc.  We buy the cottage cheese packed in 200-250 gram packs. It is soft, defatted and a bit salty.

To turn this cottage cheese into light and tasty pancakes we need to add 3 eggs, 4 tablespoon sugar (or by taste), pinch of salt and mix all ingredients, to do this I always use my own tools – hands! It takes 1-2 minutes and the pastry is ready 🙂 I also recommend you to add a bit flour if the pastry looks wet but it always depends on cottage cheese. Mine was very soft so I did not add any flour into the pastry.

Dust the table with 3-4 tablespoon flour, take the pastry and shape into pancakes as shown in the pictures below.

    Hi!
    By way of my appreciation, I came here again.
    I just recently posted on your other post about the commentluv, keywordluv and top commentator plug-in topic and here to make my day, I need to eat.
    I want to try the one you portrayed here. It is amazing you happen to post foods also and I am a trying hard cook. LOL, I just want to impress my husband, and maybe try this on our kitchen. Really happy to oblige.
    🙂

    Sounds delicious. Makes me think of crepes filled with fruit and sour cream. It is just a bonus that this doesn’t sound like too difficult of a recipe to do, either.

    Would you recommend using dry or wet cottage cheese? I want to try these out, but I don’t want to end up with soggy pancakes – any help would be appreciated.

    I’d love to make this recipe, but I’m trying to cut back on my sugar intake! Any chance you could write about healthier, sugar-free options in an upcoming post?

    Somebody replied for a sugar free version, I bet you can leave out all the sugar, and make it savory, as the ‘non-sugars’ are quite bad for a human system, regular sugar is better for you. I do not really like sweet, so if I leave the sugar out, I may need to increase the thickening (flour?, oh well) a bit. Remember that processed flour is probably worse for you than real raw sugar.

    But my 2 cents.
