Few people can resist smooth and aromatic cheesecakes, which are served with berries, pieces of fruit, condensed milk, jam or honey.

This is especially difficult to do if the syrniki are prepared according to all the rules that even experienced cooks follow.

Cottage cheese

The key secret of ideal syrniki is the right cottage cheese. Both the taste and consistency depend on this product. For syrniki you need to take only high-quality and fresh cottage cheese.

Also, it shouldn't be too sour, otherwise you'll have to add more sugar. As for the fat content of the cottage cheese, the higher the better, but it's a matter of taste.

Silky texture

To give the cottage cheese a silky texture, it must be rubbed through a sieve 1-2 times until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

Eggs

Eggs make the dough more liquid. You have to add more flour, and this leads to the loss of the curd flavor, for which many people love syrniki.

This can be avoided. It is better to add only yolks to the dough at a rate of 2 pcs. per 500 g of cottage cheese.

Sugar

Experienced cooks use powdered sugar instead of sugar. The advantage is that it dissolves faster and is distributed evenly.

Pan

To prepare syrniki, chefs recommend a frying pan with a thick bottom. The cutlets will cook evenly on it. The frying pan is preheated with a small amount of oil, and then the syrniki are laid out.

Experts advise cooking syrniki on a low heat so that they are well baked inside, but do not burn on the outside.
