Cooking Time: 25 minutesPreperation Time: 10 minutes

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of farmers' cheese, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of reduced sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Form the syrniki

Add 1/2 cup of flour to the mixture and blend until the dough becomes slightly sticky but manageable. Using your hands, shape the dough into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 4: Bake the syrniki

Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through baking.

Step 5: Serve

Allow the syrniki to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain or with a topping of your choice, such as Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.
