Blini

Ingredients

• Whole milk 500 ml
• Eggs 2 large
• All-purpose flour 180 g
• Sugar 20 g
• Salt 1/2 tsp
• Sunflower oil 40 ml
• Sour cream to serve

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl until smooth.

2. 2

   Add half of the milk, then sift in the flour and whisk into a thick, lump-free batter.

3. 3

   Whisk in the remaining milk and 30 ml of the oil; the batter should be thin and pourable. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Heat a 22-24 cm frying pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with oil.

5. 5

   Pour in about 50 ml of batter, tilting the pan so it spreads in a thin, even layer, and cook for about 1 minute, until the edges turn golden and lift easily.

6. 6

   Flip the blin, cook the other side until lightly spotted, and slide it onto a plate.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the blini and greasing the pan only when they start to stick, and serve warm.
