Blini

Thin yeasted pancakes cooked in a hot buttered pan and stacked a dozen deep — rolled around smetana and jam, or folded under salted fish and a spoon of roe.

Pasos

  1. Stir the yeast and sugar into 300 ml of the warm milk, add both flours and whisk to a smooth batter. Cover and leave 1 hour.

  2. Whisk in the rest of the milk, the egg yolks, the salt and the melted butter. Leave another 30 minutes.

  3. Whisk the whites to soft peaks and fold them in just before you start cooking.

    💡 Fold the whites in last and do not stir the batter again. Every stir after that knocks out the air that keeps blini thin and lacy.

  4. Heat a small pan, brush it with butter and pour in a thin ladleful, tilting to cover the base.

  5. Cook 60 seconds until the top dulls and the edge lifts, then 30 seconds on the second side.

  6. Stack them on a warm plate, brushing each with butter as it comes off. Serve with smetana, jam, or salted fish.

💡 Consejos

  • Maslenitsa — the week before Lent — is the blini week, and households make them by the hundred. The round shape stands for the returning sun.
  • The first blin is always ruined. There is a Russian proverb about it, and the pan simply is not ready yet.
  • Blinchiki are the unyeasted cousins — thinner, quicker and rolled around fillings. Different batter, same pan.
