Ingredients
- 500 g ricotta cheese
- 100 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- A pinch salt
- 4 tbsp raisins
- Butter, for cooking
- Sour cream, raspberries, blueberries and mint sprigs, to serve
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, flour, egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon to combine, then stir in the raisins. Don’t worry if the batter is lumpy and sticky – this is normal.
- Dust a clean working surface with flour, then scoop around 1-2 tbsp mixture onto the floured surface, flattening with your palm to form small patties. Repeat with remaining the mixture, you should get around 14 patties.
- Melt some butter in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the syrniki in batches, for 2-3 minutes per side, until slightly puffed, crisp and golden.
- Serve the syrniki with a dollop of sour cream, berries and mint sprigs.
