Baked Syrnyky on Ryazhenka with Strawberries
These syrniki are made not with ordinary farmer’s cheese but with baked fermented-milk cheese — it has a creamy texture and a light ryazhenka flavor, so the dessert comes out softer and more velvety. The cheese mixture is pushed through a coarse sieve, and a spoonful of wild strawberries mashed with sugar is tucked inside each one. As they fry, the filling warms through and turns into a warm berry surprise.
They’re served with an extra dish of mashed berries on the side.
Tip: The cheese should be on the dry side: if it’s too wet, it will need more flour.
- Fry over low heat so the centers warm through.
- Wild strawberries can be replaced with garden strawberries or raspberries.
Serve right away, while hot. They reheat best in the oven so they don’t dry out.
