Blini

Print Recipe
Thin, soft, and lightly golden, these blini are made for stacking, filling, and eating warm throughout the day. They stay flexible, cook quickly, and work just as well with jam as they do with smoked fish or sour cream.

Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 480 ml milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • cups 180 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil plus more for the pan

Instructions

  • Whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Pour in the milk and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour gradually and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  • Stir in the oil, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Pour in a small amount of batter and tilt the pan to spread it into a thin, even layer.
  • Cook for 30 to 45 seconds, until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly golden.
  • Flip and cook the second side briefly.
  • Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the blini as you go.
