   It is fashionable to quench soda with vinegar, but lemon juice will give a citrus aroma.

3. After carefully sifting the flour, add in small portions to the dough, constantly kneading it. It should become solid. Roll the dough into small balls the size of an egg, flatten and place on a baking sheet. Leave a distance of 1–2 cm between the pancakes, as they will increase in size during baking.

Cheesecakes with semolina without flour

It is believed that adding semolina instead of flour to the dough makes baked goods lighter and more elastic. Personally, I often use semolina not only in dough, but also for batter. Not only the consistency of the dough changes, but also its taste, and in a more pleasant way.

In addition, raisins, berries or other dried fruits can be added to these cheesecakes.

Take the following foods:

• 400 g of cottage cheese;
• 1 egg;
• 3 tbsp. l. sour cream;
• 1 tbsp. l. softened butter;
• 3 tbsp. l. semolina;
• 3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
• ½ tsp. vanilla sugar;
• 1 tsp baking powder;
• 1 pinch of salt;

• 2 tbsp. l. raisins.

  

  Cottage cheese, semolina, egg, butter, sugar, raisins you will need for this recipe

If you decide to add berries instead of raisins, take fresh or thawed, well-dried. Excessive moisture, evaporating during baking, can spoil the shape of the cheesecakes. Dried apricots and prunes should preferably be cut into small pieces.

So let's get started.

1. Put cottage cheese, semolina, sour cream, butter, salt, sugar, baking powder in the bowl of a food processor, blender or mixer, add vanilla sugar and beat in an egg. Stir until smooth.

   

   Stir all the products until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

2. Transfer the curd mixture to another bowl and add the raisins to it. It must first be washed in hot water, allowed to swell a little and dried with a napkin or towel. Stir again to distribute the raisins evenly throughout the mass.

   

   Be sure to rinse the raisins in hot water so they swell a little.

3. Leave the dough for 20 minutes to swell the semolina. Then place it in small muffin tins. Each container should be no more than half full.

   

   Choose beautiful molds for cheesecakes

4. The oven should be preheated to 180 ° C. Place the cheese pancakes in it for 35 minutes. They will be ready when their color turns golden.
5. Remove the prepared cheesecakes from the oven, let cool slightly and remove from the molds.

6. Now you can arrange the cheesecakes on a platter and decorate as you wish: pour over sour cream, chocolate or jam, add fresh berries.

Dessert classics: magnificent Lviv cheesecake

One of the most popular desserts in Ukrainian cuisine is the Lviv syrnik, which is indispensable for the menu of any restaurant or coffee house in Western Ukraine. We offer you a simplified recipe, but if you wish, you can supplement it with candied fruits, nuts, dried fruits or berries at your discretion.

You will need:

• 1 kg of cottage cheese;
• 8 eggs;
• 300 g sugar;
• 4 tbsp. l. semolina;
• 1 bag of vanilla sugar;

• 100 g of chocolate.

  

  Prepare products for cheesecakes

It is usually recommended to take cottage cheese with high fat content for Lviv cheesecake, due to which the dessert will become more juicy. But from my own experience, I can say: even from low-fat cottage cheese, the result will be excellent, because the recipe uses semolina and a lot of eggs.

1. First of all, pass the curd through a meat grinder. It is best to do this twice so that the product reaches a delicate consistency. Or place the grill with the smallest holes on the meat grinder.

   To whip the egg whites into a strong foam, add sugar in small portions

5. Put the proteins in a bowl with the curd mass. Knead gently, moving the spoon smoothly from bottom to top.
