The Coffeemania restaurant chain sets the benchmark for Moscow syrniki – small, sweet pancakes made from tvorog (quark, or farmer’s cheese) with very little flour, sometimes also called tvorozhniki. It is Coffeemania’s standard for syrniki that both restaurants and people cooking at home strive to meet. Italian-style Moscow syrniki made with ricotta are also very popular. The capital’s foodies also love Severyane’s signature take on syrniki – tvorog syrniki made with baked milk.
