Classic Varškėčiai (Lithuanian Curd Fritters)
In Lithuania, varškėčiai — soft curd fritters with golden edges and a tender centre — are less a dish than a memory in edible form. Found on breakfast tables, in family kitchens, and now in modern cafés, they remain one of the country’s most quietly enduring comfort foods.
Ingredients
| Ingredients | ||
|---|---|---|
| 500 | g | curd cheese (preferably dry and full-fat) |
| 2 | eggs | |
| 100 | g | wheat flour (approximate) |
| A pinch of salt | ||
| Sugar, to taste | ||
| Butter or oil, for frying | ||
Place the cottage cheese in a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth.
Add the eggs, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour your hands and a working surface. Shape the dough into small, round patties, gently coating them in flour.
Heat butter or oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters slowly, turning occasionally, until golden on both sides and cooked through.
Serve warm with sour cream, jam, fresh berries, or simply a dusting of sugar.
