Syrniki, a beloved treat in Russian cuisine, are cheese pancakes that offer a delightful twist with a chocolate filling. These skillet-cooked pancakes are made from a rich mixture of cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, flour, and a touch of vanilla, encapsulating a core of molten chocolate that oozes out with every bite. The combination of ingredients not only yields a delicious flavor but also a satisfying texture that's both tender and slightly crisp. This version with a chocolate filling elevates the traditional syrniki to a decadent sweet course or snack that perfectly balances the tanginess of the cottage cheese with the sweetness of chocolate.

Prepare the cottage cheese mixture

Combine the cottage cheese, egg, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until you have a uniform batter. Adjust the flour as needed to achieve a thick consistency that can hold a patty shape.

Add the chocolate

Divide the batter into equal portions. Flatten each portion slightly and place a small piece of chocolate in the center. Wrap the batter around the chocolate, ensuring it is completely enclosed, and then gently flatten into a pancake shape.

Cook the syrniki

Heat a skillet over medium heat with vegetable oil or butter. Place the formed syrniki in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve

Serve the syrniki warm, allowing the chocolate filling to melt. These can be enjoyed on their own, or with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra treat.
