syniki

I have been craving this dish for a while, particularly the last few days. At eight months pregnant I can't very well fly off to Moscow for a meal, so I began searching the internet. I couldn't find the name of the dish, Syrniki, since on the menu in Moscow we had only seen the words Russian Cheesecakes. Finally, through a blog, cheatingcook.wordpress, I found the name and a recipe to try. This morning I will attempt to make them. The only problem being that I do not have the Russian curd cheese, or even cottage cheese. Perhaps cream cheese will be a suitable substitute. I'm off to whip up a batch!
