Notes
Cottage cheese should be dry without extra liquid. If your cheese too wet - you can add no eggnwhite at all.
You can use any kind of flour (I've used coconut - it was soo delicious).
If you like lemon taste - add lemon zest also.
You can make a large batch of syrniki and freeze part of them. If you cook frozen syrniki later, they also taste good.
When forming cheesecakes, you can add pieces of bananas, chocolate or some kind of paste inside (as a filling).
ALWAYS cook cheesecakes in a heated pan!
