Serniky A Russian Recipe Recipe

Put one ball of pot cheese, such as is sold at a creamery for five

cents, in a mixing bowl, break it up with a spoon, and add to it a

heaping tablespoonful of butter, the well beaten yolks of four eggs, a

little salt, a heaping dessertspoonful of currants and two slightly

heaping tablespoonfuls of flour. Mix all well together and let it stand

an hour or more. Sprinkle a pastry board thickly with flour, turn the

mixture out from the bowl, cut off pieces of it and roll with the hands

until about an inch and a half thick, cut in pieces about two inches

long, the ends bias. Have a saucepan ready with boiling water, drop the

pieces into this without crowding and cook until they float--about five

minutes--take them out with a skimmer. Roll in dried bread crumbs, fry

brown on both sides in butter, and serve hot with cream and sugar.
