The taste of syrniki undoubtedly depends on the ingredients used in the process of their preparation.
And if no one argues with the need to add cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and flour or semolina to the mixture for making syrniki, then the opinions of housewives regarding salt are not so clear.
So, some chefs do not agree that the dough for sweet cheesecakes must be salted.
Let's try to understand this sensitive issue and find out why you need to add salt to syrniki.
The first reason, of course, is to maintain flavor balance, but that's not all.
There is another factor that tells us about the necessity of this action - the thing is that salt has the ability to “melt” cottage cheese when heated.”
Thus, this ingredient can be called the “keeper” of the shape of the cheesecakes and the key to their delicate structure, because when the cottage cheese “melts”, it turns into a homogeneous mass that will definitely not fall apart in the frying pan.
It remains to find out how much salt should be added when making syrniki. You won't have to remember multi-digit numbers, because one pinch will be enough for a 200-gram pack of cottage cheese.
