Baked farmer’s cheese cakes are similar to the Russian syrniki, but are made in the oven for an easier morning.

Units
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) farmers cheese (it's sold by cream cheeses in most grocery stores, look for the kind without potassium sorbate)

- 1/4 cup sugar, or any sweetener you prefer
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) of all-purpose einkorn flour (I like Jovial) or coconut flour

- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
Equipment
- Mixing spoonMeasuring spoon - 1 tbsp
Instructions

- Scoop one tbsp 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.
