• Beat egg and white sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in quark cheese, flour, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix well until dough is thick and sticky.

RUSSIAN SYRNIKI

Steps:

• Mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, and sugar. Stir in semolina and all-purpose flour, and work into a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and roll into a 1-inch thick log. Slice the log into 8 pieces, then pat each piece in additional flour to form a patty.
• Heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Fry the syrniki in hot oil until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

SYRNIKI WITH POTATO

Steps:

• First clean and peel the potatoes and boil in salted water, drain and mash.
• Then drain the cottage cheese, sieve to remove lumps, and mix it with the mashed potato.
• Beat in raw egg, salt, sugar and half the flour. (For the sweeter version add raisins and more sugar now.)
• Stir well to form a stiff paste.
• Work on a floured surface and flatten into thick pancakes about 3 inches in diameter.
• Coat them with flour and fry in butter on each side until golden brown.
• Serve hot with sour cream well chilled.
