🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe

Syrnyky

Syrnyky are beloved Ukrainian cottage cheese pancakes that grace breakfast tables across the country. Made from fresh tvorog (farmer's cheese), eggs, and just a touch of flour, they are pan-fried to a delicate golden crust while the interior remains impossibly soft and creamy. Served with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of jam, or a drizzle of honey, syrnyky are the sweet, gentle start to any Ukrainian morning.
