🇷🇺 Russia recipe

Syrniki

Syrniki are one of Russia's most beloved breakfast and dessert items, small pan-fried pancakes made from tvorog, Russian farmer's cheese. They have a gorgeous golden crust that gives way to a creamy, slightly tangy interior. Served warm with a drizzle of honey, a spoonful of sour cream, or a cascade of fresh berries, syrniki are pure bliss on a plate and can be made in under thirty minutes.
