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

Instructions

  1. 1
    Dissolve the yeast in 3 cups of the warm milk. Add ½ tablespoon of sugar, salt, egg yolk, and melted butter.
  2. 2
    Stir, then add half the flour, and knead the dough.
  3. 3
    Cover 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.
  4. 4
    Heat 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.
  5. 5
    Knead the dough again and leave it until it rises.
  6. 6
    Heat an oiled frying pan. With a large ladle pour some batter in the center so it makes a circle.
  7. 7
    When 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.
  8. 8
    After it is ready, put the blin on a large plate and start making the next one.
