Batter Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Start by beating the eggs in a mixing bowl until they are well combined. Add in the sugar and salt, mixing them thoroughly with the eggs. Next, pour in the milk and stir until you achieve a smooth mixture.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, continuously stirring to eliminate any lumps. Once the flour is fully incorporated, add the sunflower oil and boiling water.
Mix again until the batter is entirely smooth and lump-free. This is crucial for making perfect blini!
Step 2
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot. Pour a ladle full of batter into the pan, swirling it around to form a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1 minute or until the edges start to lift and the bottom turns golden.
Carefully flip the blin and cook for another minute until both sides are golden brown. If needed, reduce the heat to medium to ensure they cook evenly.
Repeat this process until the batter is used up, stacking the cooked blini on a plate as you go. Enjoy with your favorite fillings!

Variations
Gluten-Free Option: Simply substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check the blend includes xanthan gum for the best texture! 🌾
Vegan Variation: Replace eggs with a mashed banana or 'flax egg' (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). Use a plant-based milk like almond or oat, and swap regular oil for coconut oil for a delightful aroma! 🌱
Faq
- What should I do if my pancakes are too thick?
If your batter seems overly thick, try adding a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency. The batter should flow, but not be too runny!
- How do I prevent my pancakes from burning?
Always preheat your skillet on medium heat and adjust the temperature as needed. Start with a test pancake to know the best cooking time!
- What can I add to make my pancakes taste better?
Consider mixing vanilla extract or cinnamon into your batter for a flavor boost! You can also fold in ingredients like blueberries or nuts before cooking.
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the batter the night before and refrigerate it. Just give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken overnight.
- What if my pancakes come out flat?
Make sure your baking powder is fresh, as this is what creates fluffiness. You can also try folding in whipped egg whites for extra lift!
- Can I freeze leftover pancakes?
Absolutely! Allow them to cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each pancake and place them in a freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster or microwave!
