Blini ( Crepes) Recipe
Zina’s Blini
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup milk (kefir is better)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- tiny bit of vinegar or mineral water (for baking soda)
- 1 tsp sugar
- pinch salt
- vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Mix all ingredients with a mixer until well blended. Make sure the mixture is very runny. Add milk if mixture is not runny enough.
Head a medium-sized pan on highest heat. Add a small bit of vegetable oil and pour a ladel of mixture onto the pan, spreading it evenly. It helps to hold the pan at a sharp angle and start pouring mixture at the top of the base, letting it flow down and make a nice thin circle.
If the pan is hot enough, the blin will need to be flipped within 10sec of the pouring. Use a spatula. Each blin should be done within ~30sec. Add a bit of vegetable oil to the pan after every blin.
Enjoy.
