When making syrniki, many people understand that the base is cottage cheese. Why not try adding a few ingredients to the cottage cheese that can positively affect the taste of the dish?
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to do the right thing.
Vanilla and vanilla sugar
It is one of the most popular ingredients used to enhance the taste and aroma of baked goods.
It gives the cheesecakes a subtle sweet aroma, which makes them even more appetizing.
You can use vanilla sugar or vanilla extract. If you use extract, just add a few drops to the curd mass.
Citrus zest
You can use lemon or orange zest, it adds fresh, bright notes to the cheesecakes, making their taste more interesting and rich.
To add, you need to finely grate the zest of one lemon or orange and mix it with the curd mass. It is important to use only the top layer of the peel, as the white part can add bitterness.
Dried fruits and berries
Dried fruits and berries not only enrich the taste of syrniki, but also add useful substances. Raisins, dried apricots, prunes or dried cherries - all these ingredients go well with cottage cheese.
Nuts
Nuts add texture and richness. Nuts can be chopped or left in large pieces.
When adding them, you should always be rational, because an excessive amount can negatively affect the taste.
Cinnamon and other spices
Cinnamon is a classic spice that pairs well with cottage cheese. You can also use nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom for a more complex flavor.
You can add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon or spice mixture to the curd mass and mix thoroughly.
Honey or syrups
Honey and syrups (maple, agave) can replace some of the sugar in the recipe, adding additional flavor notes. You can add 2-3 tablespoons of honey or syrup. This will not only improve the taste, but also make the syrniki healthier.
