How to add eggs to syrniki so that they don't fall apart: sharing the technology

Very often, during cooking, syrniki fall apart and burn. This is because of the rather liquid consistency of the dough. And it is the eggs that soften the cottage cheese. Therefore, they need to be added correctly.

The idea of making syrniki that don't fall apart was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Olga with the nickname olya_pins. According to this technology, only two egg whites are added to the dough, without yolks. That's why the mass is fluffy and holds its shape.

Ingredients: (for 2 servings):

• 400 g of 5% cottage cheese
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp of sugar (or other sweetener)
• 2-3 tbsp of flour (mine is from durum wheat)
• a pinch of salt
• vanillin
• oil for frying

Method of preparation:

1. It is better to use cottage cheese in a block or creamy form, so that the syrniki will be easy to mold and keep their shape. If you have lumpy cottage cheese, you need to grind it through a sieve.

2. Mix the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar, salt and vanilla, add the flour.

3. Make a sausage out of the mass and roll in flour, cut into pieces of the same size.

4. Form each piece into syrniki.

5. To make it comfortable, moisten your hands with water, otherwise the dough will stick to your hands.

6. If you make too many syrniki, you can freeze some of them and cook them next time.

7. Fry the syrniki or bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
