In Ukrainian, Belarusian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Serbian cuisine Syrniki or Syrnyky as they are called are made from the main ingredient creamy quark, mixed with flour, eggs, and sugar, vanilla extract. In Russia, Syrnyky is called Tvorozhniki and the cheese mixture may contain raisins for extra flavour.

Notes:

I needed a 1 cup more maida to make my dough. That said and done it could be because my quark was not lump-free so I had to knead it a bit.
