1. The success of the dish largely depends on the cheese. It should be fresh, high-quality and with a uniform texture. If there are still grains, rub them through a sieve or beat with a blender. The cheese should not be very soft (or, as many say, wet), otherwise it will be difficult for you to shape and cook cheesecakes.
2. Do not add too much sugar, otherwise the cheesecakes may burn. If they don't seem sweet enough, serve them with honey, condensed milk, syrup or jam. By the way, in this case, you can do without sugar altogether.
3. Nuts, dried fruits, coconut shavings, cinnamon, vanillin, citrus peel will help diversify the taste and aroma of ordinary cheesecakes. Add them to your taste, but do not overdo it.
4. The dough should be thick enough to make balls easily. It's okay if it sticks to your hands a little: just cover your palms with water, vegetable oil or flour. But if, despite the first advice, you took soft cheese and the dough turned out liquid, add a little flour or semolina. Only carefully, otherwise the cheesecakes will become rubbery and not so tasty.
5. To form cheesecakes, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the prepared dough and transfer it to your hand. Roll the dough into balls and flatten them. As a rule, cheesecakes are rolled in a small amount of flour or semolina before frying - so they do not stick to the pan. Cheese balls can be flattened immediately in flour. If you have a non-stick pan or you are just sure that the cheesecakes will fry without problems, skip this step.
6. There is another way of forming: sprinkle the table with flour, put all the dough there and roll it into a sausage. Then cut it into washers, give them the desired shape and, if necessary, roll them in flour. Heat the pan and grease it with oil. It is not necessary to grease non-stick dishes. Put the cheesecakes there in one layer. If there are a lot of them, cook in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the bottom of the cheesecakes is covered with a golden crust. Then turn them over, reduce the heat slightly and cook for about the same amount.
7. Cheesecakes can be baked in the oven. Place them on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or high-quality parchment paper. Bake at 180 °C for about 15 minutes. Then carefully turn the cheesecakes over and cook for another 10 minutes.
