These pancakes look amazing, and a great way to use quark too.

Appreciate the comment - I wasn't actually intending to compare the cuisine, more the amount I had shared from the different regions. And yes I know it was a different time in the examples I mentioned (I have also been a number of times since). Yes, I have seen some mention cottage cheese as another substitute - I can see the flavor being a little closer but I imagine it may need pressed through a sieve as well as drained since the texture is a bit coarse which is part of why I didn't mention. And thanks, we all really enjoy these little bites!

Light years apart, especially back when you were there. Fresh produce was strictly seasonal and regional, and limited. It’s not a reflection of the Russian cuisine but rather the political and economic conditions.

In the US, a closer substitution for tvorog, I found, is cottage cheese (drained) as opposed to ricotta. Ricotta lacks the tangy profile that tvorog has.

Your sirniki look and sound absolutely scrumptious, and the instructions are spot on!
