Kefir (sour milk) | 250-270 ml |
Cheese | 200-150 g |
Sugar | 0.5 tsp |
Salt | taste |
Soda | 0.5 tsp |
Step cooking
- Pour kefir into a bowl and heat in a water bath.
- Add to the kefir half a teaspoon of soda, half a teaspoon of sugar and salt to taste. Calculate the amount of salt based on how salty your cheese is.
- Mix everything well and leave this bowl aside for a couple of minutes. At this time, rub the cheese on a grater. Then add the cheese to the liquid mixture with kefir. Mix well.
- Add green onions and greens to the mixture if desired. Mix well too.
- Pour the flour into the prepared mixture in parts and mix with a spoon. When the dough is thicker, add flour and knead the dough with your hands - it will be more convenient.
- Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes. It should stick slightly to your hands. If you need flour - add as you wish.
- Divide the dough into several equal parts (approximately 5-6). Mash each part well before frying in your hands and form a magnificent cake (approximately 0.5-1.5 centimeters thick).
- In a preheated frying pan without oil or with oil, optionally add the formed cake and fry on both sides until cooked. Cover the cakes to make them even better.
- Fry all flat cakes the same way. Serve the cakes hot. If desired, they can be greased with oil or sour cream. Enjoy your meal!
