Pancakes (syrnyky) with fruit compote

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Start preheating the oven to 180–185 °C and prepare a baking sheet (approx. 30 cm × 40 cm), lining it with baking paper.
• 2
  In a large bowl, combine quark, spelt flour, oat flakes, honey, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil, and 1 egg, and work the mixture into a slightly sticky dough. Then, moisten your hands and form 8 balls, each weighing approximately 55–60 g, from the dough on the lined baking sheet. Subsequently, flatten each ball with a moistened hand to a thickness of approximately 1 cm.

  Transfer the baking sheet with the flattened dough to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes at 180–185 °C.

  Meanwhile, prepare the compote. In a small saucepan, combine the thawed forest fruit, honey, and lemon zest, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Subsequently, cook the mixture for 4–5 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from burning. After the specified time, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in 50 ml of water, pour the resulting mixture into the saucepan with the fruit, and heat the entire mixture for another 1–2 minutes over medium heat until it thickens. Then, remove the saucepan from the heat.

  Once the pancakes are baked, divide them onto 2 plates, pour the fruit compote over each serving, and serve.
