How to Make Syrniki Cottage Cheese Kotlety
- Use only very dry cottage cheese (approximately 2 cups).
- Press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs (well-beaten), 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
- Mix all ingredients very thoroughly until completely combined.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing constantly until a smooth, thick batter forms.
- The mixture should be very smooth and thick enough to hold its shape. Cover and refrigerate for 45-60 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface. Scoop out portions of the batter (about 2 tablespoons each) and shape into round or oval pancakes, about 3/4 inch thick and 2-2 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the Syrniki for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
