Very nice, who doesn't love syrniki! its very nice with jam too. i think your cheese have too much water in it.

[@soulshiversasmr]

I started watching you because I get ASMR triggers from your videos. The urban peasant with James Barber, it's the attention to detail and the absolute love you are able to put into your craft. It feels like I'm watching/listening to someone paint a masterpiece ever single time.

[@picassoimpaler3243]

Just found your channel. Its almost like a call back to old food network. Im quite a fan!

[@sennest]

Молодец! Glen, I think you've got it! Great job, you haven't done anything different than millions of Eastern Europeans have done. Every kitchen is a little diff. These look amazing👍💣💥. Thank you very much! I'm going to try your recipe out!

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

ThankYou! I've never made these before - totally blind.

[@sennest]

@@GlenAndFriendsCooking You are a Jedi Chef Master, a "diviner" of recipes! Keep up the great work! Question for you, I saw on an older episode that you had a recipe book, do you still sell them?

[@LucyBeefan6]

Syrniki is my favorite sweet dish. I adore it so much. We make it in our household a lot. My grandma is from Ukraine, and this dish is Russian but it´s basically cooked in Eastern Europe in general and each household has a different way of preparing it. My grandma´s recipe for one portion of Syrniki contains: 250 g cultured high quality dried cottage cheese (it should not be watery), 1 egg, 2 Tbs of sugar 1 Tbs of flour 1 Tbs of semolina flour for better texture a pinch of salt for balance cinnamon vanilla flavor Then she forms a dough cuts it into pieces like you did and fries on the butter. And usually it is served with sour cream and jam :) I hope you enjoy it next time you make it. It´s worth it.

[@marschallblucher6197]

I personally like serving it with Caramelized/ Sweetest Condensed Milk. Although that's mostly my sweet tooth.

[@sylviaroberts8103]

One year later Lucia and I’ve only just discovered your comment. Sounds ideal to me and I shall be making this soon, so thank you very much for the recipe.🇺🇦🇬🇧

[@VageG0zer]

"If the first time you attempt something and it doesn't work out. It's OK, 'cause I'm sure they're gonna taste great". The taste is not the first thing I'm worried about when trying something new. The first thing I think is "I hope I don't poison anyone who eats this". I have had that happen the first time I tried to cook something on my own (luckily I was the only one eating it). I had to translate the recipe and ingredients so that's probably where the problem was. Ever since I only made things from packages, never anything from scratch so I don't mess up with the ingredients and only need to follow instructions. Now I'm starting to discover cooking channels like yours and Sortedfood. Especially your channel (a seemingly regular guy just trying stuff out) makes me want to experiment a little more. So thank you.

[@micoberss5579]

Thus is how they are supposed to look. In that Korean video they looked perfect round like some cookies. Yours look just like original Russian. Greetings from Russia

[@suryacoapy5129]

Nice video, thanks. This recipe can be adapted to make lovely soft bread. Leave out the sugar, add yeast, make it a more solid dough and let it rise. It worked wonderfully for me.

[@SDOtunes]

Glen, after you made this Russian pancake, how about making German potato pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer/Reibekuchen) with apple sauce? It's so easy to make and it's such a crispy, both sweet and savory treat, you'll love it. :)

[@mariapopek7798]

Great video - I tried them today for the first time before watching this presentation - I'm trying to figure out the right cooking temperature. I am curious to see how you do with your next batch.

[@mvoronenko]

Great job! The only thing you may want to do: yes butter and oil together and yes nonstick pan over medium heat.

[@frederik3313]

Blin! Looks good.

[@nr-dx4zz]

Love this channel. Dont know why

[@flavor-addiction]

I also tried a variation, great recipe! Love, #flavoraddiction

[@jemtebelle]

Did Glen ever do another video on this recipe? I didn't find another one.

[@bunnibinch4495]

I'm curious as to what you've got (i think?) fermenting on the counter back there!

[@brissygirl4997]

I think it's vinegar. Glen has several recipes for homemade vinegar.

[@IrinaZhygalyk]

Syrniky is a classic breakfast in Ukraine. The thing is our cottage cheese really does have a different texture. It's definitely less moisty. Overall we've got lots of desserts based on the cottage cheese as a main ingredient. They all taste different from Western cheesecakes and such.

[@carreyperea2201]

i agree, i just came to Lviv Ukraine, and have tried making them 3 times, trial and error...the dry cottage cheese is crucial!

[@TwoBassholesandaKaren7107]

It’s more like ricotta which I use to make these. I also make them more crepe like and stuff with lox or smoked trout. I put sour cream on top. Yummy!

[@wiiza4ever]

I learned how to make syrniki from a real russian mother in russia, and then tried to recreate it with ingredients in Ontario, so I can help with the main problem you'll run into. "cottage cheese" in russia is very, very dry. Even the Western brand pressed cottage cheese is a bit too humid. Also, unlike with american baking, the standard for eggs is not large. You'll want the dough to have scone-like firmness when you shape it. Also, I'm assuming your studio is on the warm side, so it's okay to stick it in the fridge before shaping.

[@brissygirl4997]

Glen used homemade cottage cheese, not store bought stuff. But like you said a lot of things could have affected the recipe, like ambient temperature, egg size etc.

[@wiiza4ever]

@@brissygirl4997 so what? It's still not tvarog.

[@mortisCZ]

Yep that might make a difference. We have both kinds of tvaroh here in Czech Republic. The hard one is really dry firm block and the other one is much closer to cottage cheese as known to western world. I've made similar recipe from both and they taste great either way but they are substantialy different in structure and frying technique.

[@_Brohan]

what's wrong with using SS/Al to make pancakes? And what's wrong with non-stick? I use a ceramic coasted Al Green Pan and it's the best pan I've ever used for pancakes.

[@ryangraham6393]

Glen I wouldn’t change a lot, perhaps even just add a small amount of oil into the butter to prevent it burning would work, i think the butter would add a layer of flavour that you need.

[@bobbytables464]

Since you normally can't get quark/tvorog in North America, you can make the cottage cheese the way you made it and then strain it overnight in the fridge (cheesecloth in strainer over a bowl) to make it a bit drier. Should also work with ricotta, although I haven't tried it. The dough should be far easier to form into patties than that (although the ones you made will still taste great).

[@kristinrae1]

Can you use regular store-bought American cottage cheese?

[@brissygirl4997]

If you want to check out other ASMR cooking channels I'd recommend Hidamari Cooking, Cook Kafemaru and Cooking Tree. They primarily focus on sweet dishes, however Hidamari Cooking and Kafemaru have some savoury dishes as well.

[@davidmckean955]

Once you mix butter and oil, there shouldn't really be any temperature concerns.

[@spidermagic]

Why is there rust in the pan???

[@arthas640]

you could have talked about the Cooking With Boris recipe instead, such a missed opportunity :'(

[@JaxMerrick]

*Groans* Nu blyat...

[@infantryblack]

It is game time! 4:59

[@meganpopple9100]

I would have to cross-reference, but I think he reason that your dough/batter was looser than the video is that your cottage cheese may have had a higher water content. Again, I would have to check it with both your recipe video on cottage cheese and the video you are trying to replicate.

[@UrMom-yf2nr]

best part of your channel isnt the perfectionist way of thinking. you accept mistakes and correct them like any normal person would. also a + for the science behind cooking like how alton brown thinks. ill be going down your videos ever since the coke one lol

[@marschallblucher6197]

"Cottage cheese pancakes" YT: Regular generic cook channels "Syrniki" YT: *B O R I S*

[@ShazWag]

The reason yours was more a better than a dough is because Russian and Polish cottage cheese is much drier and isn't full of liquid.

[@adanlawlor1320]

Yeah those looked better when you switched pans

[@petervanderwaart1138]

One disagreement between my mother and my father's mother was over whether pancakes are baked (cooked on a mostly dry pan) or fried (cooked in a pan with copious oil). You fried these.

[@techworld5517]

flour in pancakes is bad any other way?

[@Gruuvin1]

I had to go look up ASMR. It's weird how so many youtube videos are made with a different intent that what the viewer realizes. Even cooking videos are designed to make some food look visually appealing, where in reality, it would be a terrible thing to eat. For example: the 10-foot tall burger, that's impossible to get into your mouth.

[@1904say]

IMO.. I never rely on most watched video ...as this could be skewed results due to which country that Video is made in... Some countries have limited recipe vids available... and massive populations... so it seems to me that the overall results may not represent a great recipe for all cultures. I always read the comments and check out recipe ingredients etc.. ( 45 + years of food prep. so I can almost tell what will work )* . For cottage cheese pancakes I would go for Polish or similar recipes... personally. Enjoy watching your videos & your personal style in presenting them w/ your wife. All the best from BC>

[@Careful3890]

What's the problem? Am i stupid ot what?

[@RobSnyder]

Glen psst people who are cast iron purest need to dig their heads out of the sand. I have cast iron and seldom use it as I found very few best in cast iron recipes. Even the southern staple of Corn bread I have made in a Stainless Steel pan with the same amount of butter to make that nice crust and people swear I used the cast iron pan. I have mine as they are generational hand me downs and the history behind them is more important then there practical use. But cooking is a preference. I happen to love cooking in stainless steel pans and only feel the need to have a few different pans in Calphon anodized aluminium non stick. Though that is my preference you have yours and everyone commenting here has theres and that the beautiful thing about cooking it can be that diverse as it can be flexible like that. So all the die hards that you know you can hear as you forsake the cast iron for a nonstick can just learn to deal with it.

[@dansykes4965]

Try some punctuation and learning how to spell. It will make your comments a lot easier to read.

[@SergeySedlovsky]

Factual Trivia: Cottage Cheese in Russian is Tvorog while in Ukrainian it is Syr ;) Also, sacrilege! You need to at least put Sour Cream on it! Don't care what you add on top, but Syrniki without Sour Cream... just way too dry.

[@MiladaKaiser]

You have terribly wet cottage cheese. It has to be totally dry!

[@Noiconnotag]

Cottage cheese has no place in pancakes. I tried this recipe and others alike, it was a disaster. The moment you flip, it starts to stick to the pan (the cheese melting and sticks). Had to go to the bin, waste of money, good food, and my time scrubbing off all the mess. I tasted it before the bin, nothing special about it, and honestly it tasted worse than my normal pancakes.
