This dish is familiar to everyone from childhood. Mothers and grandmothers always prepared this treat especially tasty and appetizing.

However, not everyone can repeat the recipe now.

Often, newbies in cooking complain that the dish falls apart, and the syrniki simply spread out in the pan.

It's all about the mistakes that are made at the initial stage of preparation.

How to make syrniki

First of all, you need to choose the cottage cheese responsibly. It should not be too wet, otherwise the cottage cheese mass will fall apart in the frying pan.

When buying, you should choose a drier product. If the cottage cheese is wet, you should squeeze it out first.

You won't get the perfect shape if you overdo it with sugar. After all, this ingredient turns into syrup under the influence of high temperatures.

Another reason for the problem is a cold frying pan. The preparation should be placed only on a heated dish. At the same time, do not rush to cook the syrniki and turn them over ahead of time. The mass should "set".

If you follow these simple rules, the cheesecakes will no longer spread across the pan.
