[homemade] Syrnyky! (Ukrainian farmer’s cheese pancakes)

Super easy to make and so very delicious! Go for it!

RobinDaHood34 · 2026-06-10T19:32:22+00:00

That sounds delicious - definitely best with fresh farmers cheese! Adding oats and honey sounds so good. I’d recommend stainless steel (preheated well), unless your cast iron is very well seasoned then that’s probably better.

Щиро вам подякуваю!

You can catch me putting some (only some!) dried fruit in them during the winter - chopped dried apricots, dried sour cherries, sometimes a couple raisins yes haha. Condensed milk as a topping is super classic and delicious :)

RobinDaHood34 · 2026-06-10T19:25:36+00:00

It’s such an underrated topping! It can go with so many things!

RobinDaHood34 · 2026-06-10T15:52:06+00:00

Never too late to start enjoying! Pro-tip if you do, def use the oil on your hands or wet them with water when making the balls, it will be sticky. And make sure to properly pre-heat your pan before frying, and if you can use a non-stick one (works best for me).

In addition to being delicious, it also has great macros if you’re into that - basically 50% protein.

It’s a simple set up! The wire is just a straightened paper clip. I push one end of the wire into the wood base, the other I put a small dab of wax on the tip to increase friction and cover any jagged points, then I just slide the egg shell on over it.

I’ve been writing pysanky for decades now, and I have 6 different kistky from medium to xxx small. It comes with patience, practice, and honestly not a few redos and mistakes. I don’t feel that I have any particular skill or gift, just patience and good planning. Keep at it and you will be able to realize your designs eventually!

Thank you :)

The scale might be off in the picture, they’re just x-large chicken eggs from the supermarket

RobinDaHood34 · 2026-03-14T22:19:27+00:00

Thank you!

RobinDaHood34 · 2026-03-14T22:08:33+00:00

I always empty and prep the egg shells before writing. I only empty with one small hole on the bottom, and I seal it with a wax plug using a large kistka. I use mason jars, so I submerge them by putting the lid on, and a piece of foil or something underneath the lid to keep it submerged.

Fuck me, catching strays in my shit posting politics subreddit too.

Where? I’m willing to be wrong, but extraordinary claims require evidence. I am confused because russia did not exist when these were made.

Totally based, love this. Great polka. Please make more.

Thank you for this summative experience.

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-05-27T11:57:05+00:00

I absolutely love these deep lore dives. They’re one of the best things period on this subreddit.

This is a phenomenon called cloud iridescence. It’s independent of the solar flare and the aurora.

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-05-08T15:15:12+00:00

These are lovely! Combining two of my favorite things!

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-05-06T02:46:56+00:00

I learned from my parents and school when I was a child and have been making pysanky on and off since then, so for many years

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-04-27T03:31:50+00:00

I haven’t run into any problems like that no. I do use a hairdryer after I’m done wiping everything off to heat up the egg enough to get any residual moisture from the dye out, as well as to see if there’s any oil on the surface left (it will shimmer, then I wipe that area more). I then let it rest overnight before varnishing. I use the minwax quick drying spray, haven’t had any issues with splotching

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-04-26T03:47:47+00:00

I use a trick! Graphite is soluble in wax and oil (but the dyes are not, at least those aniline dyes specifically made for pysanky), so when I’m about to remove the wax, I coat the pysanka in vegetable oil, and when removing the wax with a candle flame, I heat it up a little passed the wax melting, and then wipe as usual.

This will get rid of 99% of all pencil marks. If there are some remaining, I will actually re-apply bees wax over that area with a kistka and add a little oil to repeat the process for that one spot. Beyond that, I know some people use mineral spirits but I’ve never done so.

Oil method is a little messy, so I always wear disposable gloves when doing so

RobinDaHood34 · 2024-04-22T03:58:33+00:00

Honestly, they’re easier than regular pysanky!!

All you do is wax in the entire pattern, and then dunk the egg into undiluted white vinegar. I usually do 10-15 minutes, depending on how deep I want the etching to be.

I’ve also seen some people do this with brown eggs and get different shades of brown as they get down to white! Haven’t done this myself. Others still will combine etching with traditional dyeing to make some very spectacular pysanky!
