• 1 egg

4. Sieve the flour and mix it in gently.
   
   
5. Powder the chopping board with 1 tablespoon of flour. Wet your hands, roll the mixture into sausages and lay it over the powdered board.
   
   
6. Cut pieces and flat them with a spoon. Here are the pancakes! Now we need to fry them.
   
   
7. Oil and preheat the frying pan
   Dredge syrniki in flour and fry both sides over medium heat until golden
   
   
8. Wait for a few minutes for the syrniki to cool down. Serve with smetana, sour cream or plain yoghurt and jam.
   Syrniki are also tasty when cold.
   Enjoy!
