• Syrniki, russian farmers cheese pancakes and cherry sauce

Russian food often gets dismissed as being just borscht, meat, potatoes and cabbage, but what often is overlooked are its delicious dairy products, especially Tvorog (farmers cheese). Syrniki are farmers cheese pancakes, often served with fruit or berry sauce, jam, and preserves, maple syrup or a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, and plus a healthy dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche. One of my absolute favorite breakfasts or tea time snacks since childhood. The outside of these delicious pancakes is crispy and the inside is creamy and warm.… Yummy! <br /> Although traditionally Syrniki are a sweet dish, I often make them savory by adding chives or green onions, a healthy dose of deferent fresh herbs, salt, freshly ground black pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper and even a handful of very well squeezed lightly blanched or frozen spinach. <br />
