UKRAINIAN SYRNIKI RECIPE (CHEESE PANCAKES)
Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together cheese, eggs, 3/4 cup flour, sugar and salt.
- Place baking soda in a small bowl and add vinegar; give it a stir as it fizzes. Add this mixture to the cheese mix.
- With a hand-held electric mixer, mix until uniform consistency. Stir in the raisins with a spoon. It will still have some little cheese clumps.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 2-3 Tbsp extra light olive oil.
- Add 1/2 cup flour to a small bowl. Place a heaping tablespoon of flat ice cream scoop of the cheese mixture into the flour. Reach into the bowl and sprinkle flour over the top of the pancake. With Well-floured hands, remove excess flour by gently transferring the pancake from one hand to another.
- Once the skillet and oil are hot, place patties directly into the skillet as you mold them. Saute until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each side, flipping once during cooking.
- Transfer to a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like sour cream, fruit and powdered sugar.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks into the farmer's cheese, then stir in the sugar. Mix together 1⁄2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and the salt and add to the cheese mixture. If the mixture seems dry, add a little heavy cream.
- Place the butter and oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet and melt the butter.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1⁄4 cup flour onto a plate and dust your hands with some flour, too. With your hands or a spoon, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the batter and set the mound on the floured plate. Use your hands to gently shape it into a round patty about 2 inches in diameter and coat it lightly on all sides with flour. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Carefully transfer the patties to the pan and cook them slowly until the undersides are browned, about 3 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook until the other sides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve immediately, with sour cream.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the syrniki will taste. Use fresh potatoes, cottage cheese, and eggs.
- Use cold potatoes: Cold potatoes will make the syrniki more crispy. If you are using warm or hot potatoes, the syrniki will be more soft and mushy.
- Grate the potatoes finely: Finely grated potatoes will make the syrniki more smooth and tender. If you grate the potatoes too coarsely, the syrniki will be more chunky and less cohesive.
- Use a good quality cottage cheese: The cottage cheese should be fresh and smooth. If you are using a cottage cheese that is too dry or crumbly, the syrniki will be less tender and moist.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the syrniki tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Fry the syrniki over medium heat: Frying the syrniki over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Serve the syrniki with your favorite toppings: Syrniki can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, jam, honey, or fresh fruit.
