Syrniki With Strawberry Varenye

• For the Syrniki (Griddle Cakes)
• 1 pound farmer's cheese
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons rye flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 vanilla bean, seeds of
• butter, for frying
• For the Strawberry Varenye (Strawberry-Honey Sauce)
• 1 pound strawberries, hulled
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 ounces honey
• 1 pinch salt

1. Combine all ingredients, except for butter, in a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and only tiny cheese lumps remain. Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon the batter into the skillet. You will have to spread the batter into a circle, as it is very thick. Fry gently until the underside is golden, then flip and do the same to the other side.
3. Put the strawberries and honey in a saucepan over low heat. Once the strawberry juices start to run, turn up the heat to boil. Once the mixture hits a boil, immediately reduce the heat to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are very soft and the syrup has thickened.
4. Cool and store in a jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
