Equipment
- Pan
- Spatula
- Medium bowl
Ingredients
- 2 Farmers cheese packages 7.5oz
- 2 Eggs
- ½ Tsp salt
- 1 Tsp sugar
- 6 Tbsp all-purpose flour more for coating
- Vegetable or coconut oil
Instructions
- Put a pan on medium heat and add the oil of your choosing.
- Add the farmers cheese, eggs, salt and sugar into a bowl and mix until everything is combined. Use a spatula or your hands to mix.
- Add flour and mix.
- Using your hands, scoop a bit of farmers cheese mixture in your hand and make it into a ball, then squeeze between your palms to flatten it. It should look like a small, but thick pancake.*
- Coat the ball in more flour on each side.
- Put the cheese balls into the pan with about 1” gap between each ball.
- Fry on each side for 6-7 minutes or until sirniki become browned on each side.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*The mixture will be very sticky, this is fine. Take a small bowl of room temperature water and dip your hands between each ball you make so the mixture won’t stick to your hands as much.
