Ingredients:
-Farmers Cheese
-Eggs
-Flour
-Sugar
-Salt
-Coconut Oil, for frying

Recipe tips and substitutions:
-Farmer cheese can be substituted with cottage cheese just make sure to drain out all the liquid (best done overnight place cheese into a strainer and into the fridge).
-If you don't like coconut oil for frying it may be substituted with ½ tablespoon butter and ½ tablespoon oil.

In a mixing bowl mix farmer cheese and eggs
Add flour, sugar, salt. Mix well your batter should be thick

Place a spoonful of batter into the bowl with flour and coat with flour, form and flatten.

Heat your pan on medium-low and add coconut oil. You can form all the pancakes and place them onto a floured surface or form and add straight into the heated pan.
Don't overcrowd the pan otherwise they won't cook evenly.
You will have to cook them in 2 to 3 batches depending on how big your skillet is and how big you make the pancakes.
Cook for about 4 minutes per side and place your sirniki on a paper towel to absorb any access oil.

Serve with sour cream, syrup, or preserves.
Enjoy!
