Cottage cheese pancakes with semolina: recipe with photos step by step
If you abstain from products with wheat flour, this delicious recipe is for you! Some recipes recommend rolling the meatballs in flour before frying. But I assure you: if you shape them with wet hands and place them on a heated frying pan, you will get excellent cheesecakes without any flour at all.
What we need for cheesecakes:
- cottage cheese - 400 g;
- sugar - 2 tbsp;
- eggs - 2 pcs.;
- salt - 1 tsp;
- semolina - 6 tbsp;
- starch - 2 tbsp;
- raisins - 100 g;
- vegetable oil - 4 tbsp.
How to cook cheesecakes with semolina
- Pour boiling water over the raisins and set aside until they swell and soften.
- Add eggs, sugar, salt to the cottage cheese and mix well. I had rather fatty, coarse-grained, but very soft homemade cottage cheese, so to form a homogeneous mass, I pureed everything in a blender.
- Add semolina and let the mixture stand for 10-15 minutes so that the semolina swells a little.
- Add starch and mix with a spatula. Starch will provide fluffiness to our cheesecakes.
- Salt the water with the raisins, dry the berries with a paper towel and put them in the curd mass.
- With wet hands, form small and plump meatballs and place them in a heated frying pan (you must first pour in vegetable oil and heat it up).
- Fry covered over medium heat on both sides until a beautiful golden brown crust forms.
If served beautifully, you can sprinkle the cheesecakes with powdered sugar. But if you are concerned about a slim figure, then do not add extra sugar to the recipe. You can top the meatballs with natural yoghurt. And for those who love everything tasty, serve sour cream, jam, jam, melted butter.
