Online puzzle Syrniki

In Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Serbian cuisine, syrniki (Belarusian: сырнікі: сирник[и]; Russian: сырники) or syrnyky (Ukrainian: сирник[и]) are fried quark pancakes, garnished with sour cream, varenye, jam, honey or apple sauce. The cheese mixture may contain raisins for extra flavour. In Russia, they are also known as tvorozhniki (творо́жники).

Syrnyky or tvorozhniki are made from creamy tvorog (творог, quark), mixed with flour, eggs and sugar, sometimes adding vanilla extract. Pot cheese or farmer 's cheese is suggested as a substitute for the tvorog. The soft mixture is shaped into cakes, which are fried in vegetable oil or hot butter. The consistency should remain creamy, while they are slightly browned on both sides. They are traditionally sweet and served for breakfast or dessert, but can be made savory as well. Their simplicity and delicious taste have made them very popular in Eastern Europe. They are typically served with varenye, jam, smetana (sour cream ) and / or melted butter.The name syrniki is derived from the word syr (сыр), which now generally means "( yellow ) cheese" in Russian, but once partly stood for soft white cheese.
