Hello. Today’s recipe is a well-forgotten old one from traditional Russian cuisine. As the name itself says, the dish is based on cereals. It can be buckwheat, millet, pearl barley, etc. There is one more ingredient, without which krupenik doesn’t exist. It’s cottage cheese. And as with all simple dishes, the secret of taste is hidden in ingredients. A good, better home-made, fatty cottage cheese, well-sorted and washed cereals – a pledge of the taste of this dish.

The rest of the ingredients, in principle, at your decision. For allergy sufferers, the dish can be cooked with vegetarian cottage cheese, without eggs, with fruits and dried fruits. Wheat flour can be replaced by any other, instead of sugar add dried fruits, soda and baking powder can not be added at all. In short, give vent to fantasy!
