I'm sorry that I'm really lax about keeping up with this particular topic, so please forgive me if I have missed discussion/pictures of this item...
My daughter just emailed me and asked me to ask the forum members to help her out with a recipe for something she "dined" on while visiting Poland a few years ago.
She said it was a "sort of thick, sweet, cheese pancake served with lemon cream". It was pronouced "sar-NEECH-kee". (She'd also like to know how it is spelled!)
I know I can count on you guys to help her out! ;D ;D ;D

I know I can count on you guys to help her out! ;D ;D ;D Did it look like that?  I must say I have heard the name for the first time - serniczki. I know singular sernik - cheesecake. Plural serniczki are sth like little cheesecakes. Probably not a traditional pastry in Krakow area, probably of Russian origin. Here is a site with a simple recipe. fotoforum.gazeta.pl/72,2,777,77958705,77958705.html 1 pound cottage cheese 6 spoons of flour 1 egg 2 spoons of sugar Sweetened sour cream or another stuff for topping. Mix sugar with egg. Cottage cheese should be ground. Mix everything, shape and fry in butter. 1/2 kg twarogu (można zmielić, ale niekoniecznie) 6 łyżek mąki 1 jajko 2 łyżki cukru (można trochę więcej) kwaśna śmietana z cukrem do polania Jajko lekko ubić z cukrem, dodać twaróg i mąkę (w razie potrzeby więcej). Wszystko zagnieść razem, uformować wałeczki, spłaszczyć i powycinać coś na kształt kopytek. Można również formować placki. Smażyć na maśle, podawać jeszcze ciepłe ze śmietaną i cukrem. But recipes vary: kuchnia.o2.pl/przepisy/obiekt_int.php?id_p=4167 www.cincin.cc/index.php?showtopic=2878www.ksiazka-kucharska.pl/przepis/1451/Serniczki-smazone/ugotuj.to/przepisy_kulinarne/2,87561,,Niebianskie_serniczki_grzechu_warte_-_konkurs,,-10676808,9495.html www.winiary.pl/przepisy_przepis.aspx?categoryID=6&recipeID=3081 |

Probably not a traditional pastry in Krakow area, probably of Russian origin. She was visiting in Bialystok, so you are probably right that it is of Russian origin. Thanks for all this info, Bonobo. I will email it off to her and let you know what kind of success she has!  |

At least once I may add something to the kitchen stuff department ;D The secret of serniczki is very simple. It is Podlasie version of pierogi leniwe, which you probably know. Pierogi leniwe are boiled while serniczki are fried. A dish very popular in Podlasie. Btw. Podlasie is -historically-very far from Russia. Geographically it used to be rather in the centre of Rzeczpospolita (see the red region in the map below). Podlasie starts only some 100 kilometers eastwards from Warsaw. When one travels eastwards from Warsaw the boundary between Mazovia and Podlasie is ver easly observed and felt. The architecture is different, the food is different, even the way people speak changes. Since it is so near I know the region pretty well. I've spent many hiking holidays there. well, SOME time ago. We've packed our backbags with what was available at the shops (fish tins mainly) as there was always a risk at the local village shops there will be nothing to eat available, we took the tents and we have disappeared fo long weeks... Those were the happy days... And Podlasie is so beautifil and people are the most open and just.. good, that I know.  |

Tufta, Aren't you glad you read the food thread??? ;D ;D ;D Thank you very much for these charming details. While my daughter is interested in the recipe only, I am very interested in learning about these elements of Polish culture and life! These are the things history books and travel guides do not tell you! |

I think watching the recipe made on your eyes is the best way to prepare serniczki. Funny, I still haven`t tried them coz it is a tradition from another part of Poland.
