Air cheesecakes

3 servings

40 minutes

Airy syrniki are a delicate, light treat originating from Russian cuisine. They feature a unique texture achieved through whipped egg whites and careful mixing of ingredients. The taste balances soft cottage cheese, sweetness of sugar, and raisins with subtle hints of vanilla or cinnamon. Fried to a golden crust, they have an appetizing crispy shell hiding an airy filling. Perfect for breakfast or cozy tea time.
