My Perfect Syrnyky with Raisins

Ingredients

• 600 g Farmer’s cheese (With a fat content of 0–9%.)
• 1 Egg white
• Sweetener (To taste.)
• Salt (A pinch.)
• 40 g Raisins (Preferably soak in boiling water for 10–15 minutes beforehand.)
• 60 g Rice flour (Add to the dough.)
• 10 g Rice flour (For coating the syrnyky.)
• Water (Boiling water for soaking the raisins, as needed.)
• Oil (For frying, optional; the syrnyky can be fried without oil.)

Steps

1. 1

   If desired, cover the raisins with boiling water and leave for 10–15 minutes, then drain.

2. 2

   Place the farmer’s cheese in a bowl. Add the salt, sweetener, egg white, raisins, and 60 g of rice flour.

3. 3

   Mix well until smooth.

4. 4

   Take a small portion of the cheese mixture and shape it into a ball.

5. 5

   Coat the ball in 10 g of rice flour and flatten it into a small disk.

6. 6

   Repeat the shaping, coating, and flattening to make approximately 15 syrnyky.

7. 7

   To bake, place the syrnyky in an oven preheated to 180 °C and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

8. 8

   Alternatively, fry the syrnyky in a pan with or without oil over medium heat, covered with a lid, until golden brown on both sides.

9. 9

   Serve the finished syrnyky.
