Bliny
Blini (singular blin; in Russian, блин[ы]) are small Russian pancakes, typically topped with sour cream, jam or caviar.
Yield
20–25 blini
Ingredients
- 4 cups of milk, warmed (80–95°F)
- 1 tablespoon of white granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 5 teaspoons of butter, melted
- 1 ounce of yeast
- 1 egg white
- 1.3 pounds (5 cups) of wheat flour
- 5 teaspoons of olive oil
- Yield:
- 20–25 blini
Instructions
-
1Dissolve the yeast in 3 cups of the warm milk. Add ½ tablespoon of sugar, salt, egg yolk, and melted butter.
-
2Stir, then add half the flour, and knead the dough.
-
3Cover the bowl with the dough with a cloth or towel and leave it in a warm place for 1.5–2 hours, or until the volume of the dough is doubled.
-
4Heat the rest of the milk to 122°F, then mix it into the batter along with the rest of flour and sugar. Pour in well-whipped egg white.
-
5Knead the dough again and leave it until it rises.
-
6Heat an oiled frying pan. With a large ladle pour some batter in the center so it makes a circle.
-
7When the bottom of the blin is ready (the edges of the blin should have separated from the pan and be pointing upwards), turn it over.
-
8After it is ready, put the blin on a large plate and start making the next one.
