There are always some difficulties in making syrniki, but if you want, you can get around them.

Some people, for example, make cheesecakes only with flour, believing that they simply have no alternative options.

In this case, flour acts as a moisture "absorber," explains Yulia Arkhipova, a culinary expert for the BelNovosti online publication.

If its use is justified, then why look for a replacement at all? The question seems logical, but it is not that simple: flour deprives syrniki of their special taste and lightness.

What can replace this component?

If you want to get delicious, fluffy, tender and juicy cheesecakes, then you should use regular semolina instead of regular flour.

Both ingredients have an identical mechanism of action: semolina also helps remove excess liquid from cottage cheese.

However, semolina does not "clog" the taste, which helps the dish remain of the highest quality. Therefore, for a change, it is worth trying to cook cheesecakes with semolina, not flour.
