Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with the 3 tablespoons of water. Stir them together and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it forms a thick, gel-like consistency.
2. 2In a large bowl, add the 1 cup of plant-based ricotta cheese, the 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, the 2 tablespoons of sugar, the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, the 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and the prepared flaxseed mixture. Mix everything together thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
3. 3Gently shape the dough into small, flat patties, about 5.08 cm in diameter and 1.27 cm thick.
4. 4Place a 25.4 cm non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of vegan butter to the skillet and let it melt and heat up.
5. 5Carefully place the shaped syrniki patties into the hot skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until they are golden brown and a crust has formed.
6. 6Flip the syrniki patties over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until they are also golden brown and cooked through. They should feel firm to the touch.
7. 7Remove the syrniki from the skillet and serve them immediately. They are delicious on their own or with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or jam.
