🥞 Blini Recipe (Traditional Russian Pancakes)

Make authentic Russian Blini — thin, buttery pancakes served with sour cream, honey, or caviar. A soft, versatile dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or festive occasions!

Introduction:

Blini (or bliny) are traditional Russian pancakes that are soft, golden, and slightly elastic in texture. They’re often enjoyed with sweet or savory toppings — from sour cream and jam to smoked salmon and caviar.
In Russian culture, blini symbolize warmth and the sun, and they’re a staple during Maslenitsa, the festival of pancakes. This easy homemade recipe gives you perfectly golden blini every time.

Preparation Time:

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Servings: 10–12 blini

🥣 Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (warm)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffier texture)
  • Oil or butter for frying

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prepare the batter:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and salt together. Gradually add flour, whisking until smooth. Add melted butter and mix again. Let rest for 15 minutes.

  2. Heat the pan:
    Lightly grease a nonstick pan with oil or butter over medium heat.

  3. Cook the blini:
    Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly. Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for 30–60 seconds more.

  4. Serve warm:
    Stack the blini and serve with your choice of toppings — honey, sour cream, jam, or even caviar for a festive touch.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

  • Sweet: Serve with strawberry jam, Nutella, or honey.
  • Savory: Top with smoked salmon, sour cream, or cream cheese.
  • Festive: Roll with caviar or red fish roe for a traditional Russian presentation.

❓ FAQs about Blini Recipe

Q1: What’s the difference between Blini and Crepes?
Blini are Russian-style crepes — slightly thicker and often made with yeast or baking powder, while French crepes are thinner and eggier.

Q2: Can I make Blini batter ahead of time?
Yes. You can refrigerate the batter for up to 1 day. Stir before using.

Q3: Can I make Blini without eggs?
Yes. Substitute eggs with mashed banana or 2 tbsp yogurt per egg for a vegetarian version.

Q4: Are Blini served hot or cold?
They’re best served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature with toppings.

Q5: Can I freeze cooked Blini?
Absolutely! Stack with parchment paper between each, store in a freezer bag, and reheat in a skillet when ready to serve.
