Loved this Blini recipe! I’m a student learning Russian I made this today with my food tec teacher in cooking class and so this was very authentic and nice. Very quick recipe and easy too make! Although, if you only want roughly 5-7 pancakes I recommend using only 3 eggs as 5 would be way too much. I also used Soya milk as an alternative for milk, since I’m dairy intolerant but the pancakes still came out good! I ate the pancakes plain and they were fine.
This recipe has now come full circle, as I am an American teacher living in Russia and I made these blinis for breakfast here in Moscow this morning. Yum–they’re the real deal! I did not have oil and substituted butter, which is never a bad thing! Also I cut the recipe in half and will still be eating blinis all week! I think this volume is for a Maslenitsa celebration! The other recipes I saw looked too thick, and blinis should be thin and foldable! This one was perfect. Thanks for posting!
