Syrniki Primarily, authentic Russian cuisine is primarily based on the peasant foods: porridges, cakes, dishes made with milk, fish, mushrooms and meat. I'd like to describe a very simple dish - Сырники (S`yrniki, farm cheese pancakes). It's good for breakfast or snack time. You need: *Salt and sugar to your taste *2 leveled tablespoons not too full of flour *1 egg *1 tablespoonful of sour-cream *½ pound of farm cheese or quark *1 tablespoonful of butter Mix ingredients to get a homogeneous mass. Now form little round things about half an inch thick (something between circles and balls :) ), roll them in breadcrumbs or semolina. Next, fry them on a medium heat in vegetable oil. It's better to use refined oil without a strong smell. After you take them off the frying-pan, you can put some sour-cream on top.
