Sirniki

• 1 pint cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• Tiny pinch of salt
• Butter for frying
• Confectioners sugar, optional
• Sour cream for serving
• Jam for serving

1. Squeeze the cottage cheese in a towel until quite dry; combine in a bowl or food processor with the sour cream, yolks, granulated sugar, flour, and salt and blend until smooth.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes; at the same time, preheat the oven to 200F.
4. Add about 2 tablespoons butter and, when it is hot, begin to shape the dough into 3-inch patties, 1/2 to 1 inch thick.
5. Add as many patties as will fit comfortably in the pan, then cook until lightly browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Turn and cook until the second side is brown, another 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Keep the finished cakes warm in the oven while you cook the remainder, adding butter as needed, until they are done; dust with confectioners sugar if you like and serve immediately, with sour cream and jam.
