Blini are thin, porous Russian pancakes with a mildly tangy flavor from the yeasted batter. This classic breakfast dish is served with sour cream or jam and can be topped with either sweet or savory accompaniments.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Let the Yeast Bloom

10 min

Mix the dry yeast with the warm milk and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

2

Prepare the Batter

5 min

Add the egg, flour, and buckwheat flour to the yeast mixture and whisk until you have a smooth, pourable batter.

3

Let the Batter Rest

20 min

Cover the batter and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes; it should puff up slightly.

4

Cook the Blini

10 min

Lightly grease a small skillet, pour in a ladleful of batter, and cook until golden on both sides.

Reminder

Allergen: contains gluten, eggs, and dairy. Important: Brush the pan with a thin layer of oil; gently swirl the pan as you pour in the batter so the blini cook thinly and evenly. The first blin is usually a test, so adjust the pan temperature as needed.
