Syrniki

Ingredients

• 500 g bröseliger Topfen
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus about 1/2 cup more for dredging
• 3 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• Raisins
• 2-3 Tbsp extra light olive oil for each batch

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix the Topfen, eggs, 3/4 cup flour, sugar and salt.
2. In a small bowl, stir the baking soda into the vinegar as it fizzes, then add it to the Topfen mix.
3. Mix with a hand-held electric mixer until uniform; small Topfen clumps may remain. Stir in the raisins with a spoon.
4. Heat 2-3 Tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5. Put the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a small bowl. Drop in a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, sprinkle flour on top and shape a patty with well-floured hands, shaking off excess flour.
6. Place the patties straight into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once.
7. Serve with sour cream, fruit and powdered sugar.
