The history of the emergence of cheesecakes with cottage cheese

Have you ever thought about why curd cakes based on cottage cheese are not called “curds”, for example. The fact is that cottage cheese is a product that is prepared on the basis of raw milk, which, when sour, turns into a cheese mass. It is she who is used to prepare various dishes, especially creams and desserts. Our Slavic ancestors invented cheese cakes - pancakes, which were prepared on the basis of sour milk and flour. And their milk constantly turned sour, because there was a lot of it.

There is also another version of the origin of syrniki. One day a Roman merchant was driving home, taking milk with him. The road was long, the weather was hot. The milk turned sour, but the merchant liked it very much. When he got home, he gave his wife a drink. She saw that at the bottom of the bottle, in which there was milk, there was a sediment, she decided to mix it with flour and cook something like pancakes. This is how the cheese cakes turned out.
