Here is a recipe for Syrniki or Cheese pancake, a food from Soviet Belarus, Soviet Ukraine, and Soviet Russia:

Ingredients:

  • About 2 cups of farmers cheese

  • 4 large eggs

  • 3/4 cups of flour with separate 1/2 cup of flour

  • 3 Tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp white vinegar

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 2 to 2 Tbsp of light olive oil for each batch

Instructions:

  • Mix 2 cups of cheese, 4 eggs, 3/4 cups of flour, 3 Tbsp of sugar, and 1/2 tsp of salt in a large bowl. Mix baking soda and vinegar in separate small bowl before adding it to the cheese mix in the large bowl.

  • Mix until uniform consistency is in the mixture. Stir in raisins too with a spoon or electric mixer.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil to it.

  • Add 1/2 cup of flour to a small bowl.

  • Use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to scoop up some of the cheese mixture in the large bowl. Sprinkle flour on this scoop and mix this flour with the cheese mix.

  • Once oil in the skillet is hot, place scoop into skillet. Repeat the previous step with the cheese mixture in the large bowl to create more scoops and add them to the skillet. Flatten the scoops in the skillet to have them form a patty and saute the patties till it is golden brown (about 3 to 4 minutes each side).

  • Transfer patties to plate and serve.
