There may be several reasons why syrniki don’t turn out well.
Let's look at the most popular ones.
Cottage cheese
It should be natural, not too wet, and if necessary, it should be pre-squeezed.
In addition, the product should be homogeneous and soft. It is advisable to pass it through a sieve or blend it.
Eggs
Don't overdo it with these ingredients.
For 500 g of cottage cheese, it is enough to take 1 egg. If the product is too dry, then it is permissible to use 2 yolks.
Additional components
It is better to serve them with a ready-made dish, otherwise the treat will not be fluffy enough.
It is permissible to add dry ingredients to cottage cheese in small quantities, for example, poppy seeds, cinnamon or nuts.
If you want to add fresh fruit or berries, you should keep in mind that they will provide additional moisture, which means that the syrniki may lose their shape when fried.
Frying
Cheesecakes should be cooked in a preheated frying pan.
You can also cook the dish in the oven, which should also be preheated.
