Syrniki Cottage Cheese Kotlety

A russian co-worker of my husbands provided this recipe to meet a request by a zaar member.

Use only very dry cottage cheese.

Put cheese through fine sieve , add sugar , well-beaten eggs , sour cream , lemon juice , and lemon rind.

Mix very thoroughly.

Add salt.

Add flour by teaspoonfuls , mixing the mass constantly.

Mixture should be very smooth and rather thick.

Place in the refrigerator for 45 to 60 minutes , and then scoop small balls of it onto a slightly floured board.

Form into round or oval kotlety about 3 / 4 inch thick , and about 2 to 2 1 / 2 inches in diameter.

Fry on both sides in pre-heated butter.

Serve at once , sprinkled with mixture of cinnamon , sugar , and sour cream on the side.
