Our homemade syrniki are little circles of happiness – golden, fluffy cottage cheese pancakes that melt in your mouth. These sweet treats are a breakfast favorite at any Ukrainian restaurant, though they make a perfect dessert too! Made from a simple recipe of farmer's cheese, eggs, and just enough flour and semolina to hold them together, our syrniki have that perfect contrast between a slightly crisp exterior and soft, creamy inside. We serve them the traditional way with your choice of toppings – try them with condensed milk (sgushyonnoye moloko) and berry jam for the authentic Ukrainian food experience!
