40 minutes

Syrniki with sour cream are a great way to turn cottage cheese into a dessert. Vanillin, a little sugar (the amount can be varied) and butter, which combines all these flavors perfectly. You can add dried fruits or dried berries - don't stop your imagination here. We are publishing a basic recipe, and when you cook, pay attention that these particular syrniki need semolina: it will become the main ingredient of the syrniki. And wheat flour is needed here only to roll the finished ball in it before sending it to the frying pan.
