These disputes easily bring to a white heat - except perhaps for those who prefer scrambled eggs. This recipe calls for adding flour, frying, and baking. And these syrniki are also sprinkled with pepper, so that they awaken the appetite even in those who do not eat fermented milk products at all

In the book by Vlad Piskunov "Russian cuisine. The best in 500 years" this recipe is called "Syrniki knizhkoyu". The name is taken from the classic book on housekeeping by Pelageya Aleksandrova-Ipatyeva and is explained very simply: in the old days, any pancakes made with milk and its derivatives were often called syrniki (and what we all thought of were cheese pancakes), and why a book - apparently, the pancakes folded into a triangle resembled stitched together notebooks. In fact, a very convenient recipe: buy 2 liters of milk, ferment for a couple of days - and now both the whey for the dough and the cottage cheese for the filling are ready.
