Syrnyky means “fried cheese.” We think your kids will agree that no two words are more perfectly paired.

Squeeze out any excess water from the cottage cheese through a cheese cloth. Mix together with eggs and sugar. Stir in semolina and all-purpose flour, working until a soft dough forms. Dust hands with extra all-purpose flour and form dough into 8 rounds.

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet and fry the Syrnyky until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with honey, syrup or your favorite fruit preserve.
