Why this recipe works

Syrniki from Quark golden brown roast

Syrniki should not become floury and dry. Therefore, only as much flour as the mass needs to form. After a short rest period, the small quark chicks can be fried better and keep their soft middle.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Syrniki

Drain the quark

Too moist quark needs a lot of flour. Then Syrniki quickly become dry and firm.

Gentle Shapes

The mass should remain soft. Prefer to form with floured hands instead of using a lot of flour.

Roast medium hot

At too high heat, Syrniki brown outside before they are warm and stable inside.
