Syrniki (Sweet Cheese Fritters)
|
Ingredients:
- 4 cups large-curd cottage cheese (2 pints)
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup soy flour
- 1/3 cup oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups Splenda
- 8 tablespoons melted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup sour cream
Drain the cheese of all its moisture by setting it in a colander, covering
it with a kitchen towel, and weighting it with a heavy casserole. Let
the cheese drain undisturbed for 2 to 3 hours, then with the back of a spoon,
rub it through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time,
and gradually beat in the flours, salt and Splenda. Shape the mixture into 4
equal balls.
One at a time, place the cheese balls on a slightly floured surface and with your
hands, form them into 3- to 4-inch long sausage-shaped cylinders. Wrap each cylinder
separately in wax paper and chill for at least 30 minutes.
With a heavy knife, cut each cylinder into 1-inch wide rounds. Melt 4 tablespoons
butter in a heavy 10" to 12" skillet. Add 6 to 8 rounds to the skillet, and fry
over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer
them to a heated platter and cover them loosely with foil to keep them warm. Fry
the remaining rounds similarly, adding butter to the pan as needed. Serve hot,
with a bowl of sour cream.
Serves 6. 7 grams per serving.
