Farmer's Cheese Pancakes with Cherry Sauce
Syrniki can be served with jam, preserves or sour cream, but I recommend trying them with cherry sauce. Any berries of your choice can replace the frozen cherries I used. You can also add dried apricots, prunes, raisins or finely chopped candied fruits to the syrniki.
