Eggless Cottage Cheese Pancakes

The absence of eggs can be compensated with flax seeds. The ratio is approximately: 1 egg equals 1 tablespoon of flax seeds, which are soaked in three tablespoons of water. Let it steep. To speed up the process, the liquid with flax seeds can be simmered for 5 minutes over low heat. This replacement is very beneficial, as flax seeds are highly beneficial for the digestive tract and other organs. After boiling or steeping the flax seeds, the liquid becomes viscous, and the seeds swell.

For these syrniki, it is better to use a drier cottage cheese and it is not necessary to beat it with a blender. It tastes delicious when there are small lumps of cottage cheese in them. Slightly mash the cottage cheese.

Grate the cheese on a large grater.

In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the grated cheese, add swollen flax seeds, nutmeg, salt to taste, without forgetting that there is cheese in the cottage cheese mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of buckwheat flour. It's okay if the cottage cheese mixture is loose, the syrniki will hold their shape better when baking.

Forming syrniki. Slightly moisten your palms with water. Take a handful of cottage cheese mixture (about 1 tablespoon), squeeze your palms tightly, as if pressing the cottage cheese, form a ball, then flatten it slightly, roll it in buckwheat flour. The buckwheat flour will not only make the syrniki healthy and fragrant, but also help them keep their shape.

Heat a skillet, pour vegetable oil into it. Arrange the syrniki. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Fry the first side on a low heat, this will allow the syrniki to bake, melt the cheese and combine with the cottage cheese. Flip the syrniki carefully, without damaging the crust at the bottom.
