Syrniki with berries
5 servings
40 minutes
There is nothing better than fluffy and meaty syrniki as a leisurely breakfast. For this dish, you need to take dry cottage cheese - it should have as little moisture as possible. If you can't find any, then any cottage cheese can be rid of excess water by leaving it in a sieve in the refrigerator overnight. To make sure the dish turns out right, it is advisable to rub the cottage cheese through a fine sieve, then the syrniki will be uniform and will not fall apart when fried. Another life hack is to add semolina to the curd mass: the cereal will hold each syrniki together with a death grip. Berries in this recipe are great as a faithful companion: they equalize the sweetness of the syrniki and give them the necessary sourness.
