The Story Behind Syrniki
Syrniki are a breakfast staple across Belarus, turning simple cottage cheese into golden, crispy-on-the-outside, creamy-on-the-inside pancakes. Every babushka has her own recipe, but the best syrniki are those eaten minutes from the pan.
On the Calendar: An everyday breakfast dish.
