Flourless Syrniki
Tender inside with a beautifully golden crust outside. Semolina stabilises the mixture and makes the syrniki easy to work with.
Ingredients
Instructions
Mash the cottage cheese with the yolks and sugar until fairly even.
Add the semolina, salt, vanilla and, if you like, a little orange zest. Mix well.
Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 1 hour so the semolina swells and the mixture firms up.
Divide the mixture into portions and shape the syrniki. Rolling them lightly in semolina makes them easier to handle and gives a crisp crust.
Heat the pan well. Fry the syrniki uncovered over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden. If needed, finish them over the lowest heat for another 1–2 minutes.
Firm them up on a tray, then transfer to a bag.
Until golden on each side, then finish over low heat.
