Flourless syrniki are a delicate and airy treat of Russian cuisine, captivating with their simplicity and rich dairy flavor. This recipe has roots in traditional village breakfasts, offering the softness of cottage cheese, sweet notes of vanilla, and the lightness of semolina. Semolina replaces flour here, making the syrniki fluffier and softer. Perfect for morning tea or as a dessert with jam and sour cream, they are fried to a golden crust, creating a crispy contrast with the tender center. Due to the absence of flour, they are especially suitable for those seeking light and healthy alternatives to classic syrniki. Regardless of the time of day, this dish brings warmth and a taste of childhood, reminiscent of cozy family breakfasts.
