This recipe was given to me by my Russian teacher/neighbor. It is tried and true, and my family loves it! Cooking time really depends on how many skillets you are using! Many years ago when I first started making the blini, I used 1 skillet and it took forever to use up all the batter. Now I use 4 skillets and the time goes by quickly. I have substituted coconut oil and it tastes delicious, but it tends to harden if the batter is cold. Batter can be refrigerated for later use. Serve hot with sour cream and/or jelly.
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 0.5 cups white sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 cups milk
- 2.5 cups flour
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil , or as needed, divided
Instructions
-
1
Mix eggs, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add milk, flour, and oil. Mix until batter is smooth and thin.
-
2
Heat 2 small nonstick skillets over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillets. Pour in enough batter to just cover the bottom of each skillet. Tilt the pans to spread batter evenly.

3
Lift the blini carefully when edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, about 1 minute more. Stack blini on a plate.

Keto Chicken Crust Pizza
This chicken pizza crust is a great-tasting option if you're on the keto diet. Once the crust is baked, top it with your favorite toppings, or eat it as-is with more cheese and fresh basil on top.
Raisin Tea Biscuits
Moist, lightly sweet raisin tea biscuits are just perfect for breakfast or a cup of tea in the afternoon. This is as close as I could get to the store bakery version. My husband and kids loved these just as much as the store-bought biscuits. We make a lactose-free version with vanilla soy milk and margarine, but have made the milk variety for others. Recipe works perfectly in both options.
Pork Scallopini
Pork scallopini is a classic Italian dish: pork chops are pounded very thin and are simmered in a creamy wine sauce full of briny capers, bright lemon, and lots of butter.
