Description
Baked farmer’s cheese cakes are similar to the Russian syrniki, but are made in the oven for an easier morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup farmers cheese (it’s sold by cream cheeses in most grocery stores, look for the kind without potassium sorbate)
- 2 pastured eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup sugar, or any sweetener you prefer
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup of all-purpose einkorn flour (I like Jovial) or coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons ghee (how to make ghee)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoonMeasuring spoon – 1 tablespoon
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl until you get thick cookie dough consistency. The mixture will stay grainy because of the cheese.
- Scoop one tablespoon of dough in your hand, shape to the form of a pancake. Continue until all the dough is gone.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, turning the pancakes once half way through, until both sides are nicely brown.
- Brush with melted butter or ghee before serving.
