09 Step

Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by sour cream, your favorite jam, honey, or fresh berries.
For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the dough.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes manageable.
Be sure not to overcrowd the pan when frying the syrniki, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fritters.
Syrniki are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
