Servings 11 blini
Equipment
- Ø 20 cm large coated pan
Ingredients
- 350 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 30 ml vegetable oil
- 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1/3 tsp salt
- approx. 150 g flour
- vegetable oil to grease the pan
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar and salt.
- Gradually add flour in portions, mix thoroughly to form a liquid dough and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
- Then add vegetable oil to the liquid dough and stir it.
- Grease the pan with vegetable oil and heat it. Using a ladle, pour some batter into the hot pan and make brisk circular motions with the pan so that the batter spreads evenly and thinly all over the surface of the pan.

There is no need to grease the pan again.
