Updated on Jul 30, 2014
Adapted from www.olgasflavorfactory.com I've never made these, but evidently they are quite messy to make because the batter is very thin. Please read the comments of people who made them so you won't end up with an unpleasant surprise ;-)

How To Make sirniki - farmer's cheese pancakes
-
Step 1Place farmer's cheese in food processor and pulse until smooth, add eggs, sour cream, sugar and vanilla, pulse until smooth.
-
Step 2In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, salt, then add to the wet mix in the food processor and pulse until combined.
-
Step 3Add raisins, if using, and mix with spatula.
-
Step 4Heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a non-stick skillet on medium low heat. The oil has to become really hot, so be patient! If it's not hot enough, the pancakes will soak up too much fat and become greasy.
-
Step 5Place remaining 1/2 cup of flour on a shallow dish, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto floured dish, dredge and then fry until golden brown.
-
Step 6Serve warm with sour cream, fruit or jam.
