Baked Syrnyky Recipe with Semolina and Raisins
Soft Ukrainian cheese pancakes made with cottage cheese, semolina, eggs, lemon zest and raisins, baked until set.
This source is a distinct baked syrnyky recipe built around cottage cheese, semolina, eggs, lemon zest and raisins. The semolina absorbs moisture and helps the pancakes hold their shape, while baking reduces the need for frying oil. Use dry cottage cheese or drain it briefly before mixing. Let the mixture stand so the semolina hydrates, then shape evenly and bake until the centers are set. This entry keeps the named source recipe as a standalone baked breakfast and does not merge it with unrelated cottage-cheese pages. Serve warm with yogurt, fruit or a little honey. Use the stated measurements, keep the texture cues in view, and let the finished dish cool or rest as directed before serving. This keeps the method practical for a home kitchen and makes the result easier to repeat.
