Gluten-Free Syrniki with Berry Compote

Ingredients

• 1 lb Farmer's Cheese
• 1/4 cup Rice Flour
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb Farmer's Cheese, 1/4 cup Rice Flour, 1 large Egg, 2 tablespoons Sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract. Mix everything together until it is well combined and forms a cohesive dough.
2. 2Lightly shape the cheese mixture into small, flat patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
3. 3Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of Butter to the skillet. Heat the butter until it is melted and lightly bubbling, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
4. 4Carefully place the syrniki patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. You are looking for a nice golden-brown color on both sides.
5. 5While the syrniki are cooking, prepare the berry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the 2 cups Mixed Berries and 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup.
6. 6Cook the berry mixture over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The berries should soften and release their juices, and the sauce should thicken slightly. You will see the berries break down and the liquid become syrupy.
7. 7Serve the warm syrniki immediately with the prepared berry compote spooned over the top.
