The quality of the syrniki depends largely on the quality of their main ingredient – cottage cheese.
Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking, a cook and a fourth-class baker from the online publication Belnovosti, tells us what fat content of cottage cheese you need to use for syrniki.
The best option is cottage cheese in briquettes with medium fat content (5-9%).
The cottage cheese should be homogeneous, plastic and dry, and no whey should leak from it.
As for low-fat cottage cheese, you can take one percent if it is dry, tightly pressed and has large grains (not to be confused with granular).
This cottage cheese must first be blended until smooth.
