   Add the egg, vanilla sugar, salt, and 3 tbsp of rice flour. Mix into the dough using a fork. The dough should not be too stiff but should still hold its shape.

   Sprinkle the table with a small amount of rice flour. Take one spoonful of the cheese dough and use your hands to form a ball. Then flatten both sides of the cheese pancake and use a glass to form it into a 'barrel shape'. Don’t forget to add more rice flour if necessary.

   Heat up a frying pan and add the coconut oil. Cook the cheese pancakes on both sides for about 3 minutes on medium heat.

5. 5

   Serve the syrniki with fresh berries, maple syrup, and crème fraîche.
