Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry cheese cakes with kefir in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take kefir of any fat content, it should be at room temperature. Any hard or semi-hard cheese will do. You can vary the proportions of Adyghe and hard cheese as desired. Take premium flour, it will make the dough softer. Wash and dry the greens.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the wheat flour into a separate wide container. This will saturate it with oxygen and make the baked goods more airy.

Step 3

Step 3
In a stable, deep bowl, mix kefir and soda. Leave for 5-10 minutes for the soda to extinguish. Noticeable bubbles will appear on the surface of the kefir.

Add the rest of the flour in parts, stirring the dough each time. Now knead the dough with your hands, controlling its consistency. Please note that you may need more or less flour than I did. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

Step 9

Step 9
The dough should be very soft, tender, elastic, slightly sticky to your hands. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. But you shouldn’t add a lot of flour so that the dough isn’t too tough. Otherwise, the cakes will turn out to be hard. Cover the dough to prevent it from drying out and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
Grate the Adyghe cheese on a medium grater or crumble it with your hands.
