5
Wet your hands in cold water, scoop the cottage cheese mixture with a tablespoon (with a small mound), form a ball with your hands and place it in the pan. Do this several times until the pan is filled. (Place the syrniki apart from each other, as you will need to press them slightly with a spatula when flipping to give them their usual shape) Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, cooking covered; you can remove the lid 2 minutes before they are done.
